Random collection of bits and pieces from his career. Those with a separate article should be linked to from his main biography and don't need another page to summarize them, which would leave us with just two small sections, which probably just don't need mentioning at all as they are such minor aspects.

Comment Expanding the scope of Business career to Career of Elon Musk and merging there might make sense if editors believe the content should be kept but not as standalone. It'd be just under 6,000 words if merged there. Edit: If wasn't clear from nomination, the subject was split from main BLP due to size issues, as documented on the talk pages. What's left is a child article summary in the parent now. CNC (talk) 17:43, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Resort This was moved from his main article yesterday. Someone just took random unrelated things to move to a new article. Things should be sorted in a proper manner. Dream Focus 14:49, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Per the attribution on the talk page, the split is the section Other activities from this version of Elon Musk to the child article with this edit. The content is based on what was considered due in the main article as the status quo for sometime now and was previously a significant part of the main article (appoox. 20%). I think the proper way to resolve this would be expand the scope of business career article and merge there, but otherwise best to wait until the end of this discussion before opening an RM for that.

Merge back That is the way to go - for the reasons stated.Lukewarmbeer (talk) 18:28, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Merge back It's not a cohesive subject. ~ HAL333 21:35, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Merge back Having summarised remaining section there's plenty of room for it to move back into. CNC (talk) 21:50, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Merge back, this should not have happened in the first place... It's just not a coherent independent topic. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 03:38, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:TNT and WP:SYNTH. What a mess. You can't throw random words on a page, name-drop celebrity friends, and call it English. You can't just throw random unconnected facts, even if sourced, on to a page and call it an encyclopedia article. I have lots of criticisms of Wikipedia, but at least we make an effort to make some sense. Sorry not sorry. Bearian (talk) 02:23, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with Elon Musk: otherwise this stuff is just a mess of WP:SYNTH TarnishedPath^talk 09:10, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
What is this text meant to serve as information or education? How easily time can be wasted? Oh, don't we know it! Merge whatever can be salvaged to the main article, please. -The Gnome (talk) 22:23, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
