Apparently, SpaceX has used Tesla engineers as consultants regarding those parts.&lt;p&gt;Legally, Tesla isn&amp;#x27;t allowed to do &amp;quot;favours&amp;quot; for Musk&amp;#x27;s other businesses. From what I understand, SpaceX&amp;#x2F;etc pay Tesla the fair market value of all assistance received (both goods and services). And the cooperation has to (at a high level) be approved by the respective boards (both Tesla&amp;#x27;s and SpaceX&amp;#x27;s) while Musk is not in the room. Whatever assistance Tesla may have given Musk regarding Twitter would be subject to the same legal requirements.</text></comment>
