He previously talked bout turning Tesla into an umbrella corporation which would've included Tesla, Space-X, Neurolink, xAI, Solar City, The Boring Company and in this hypothetical Boston Dynamics rather than Twitter. Pretty cool if you ask me, reminds me of the Weyland-Yutani Corp form the Aliens movies lol

Its not hard for someone like Musk to duplicate Boston Dynamics. It would be very difficult for someone like Musk to duplicate Twitter. Sure he could easily build a clone, but getting the traction to overtake Twitter and supplant it not so easy. Social media platforms tend to have niches were one company utterly dominates the niche.
Musk's Optimus humanoid robot isn't that far behind anything Boston Dynamics is building. This kind of product isn't like social media. There can be several big players all selling essentially the same kind of thing....humanoind robots.
