The parent was talking about SpaceX directly using the raised cash to assist Tesla, which is what I was replying to. That's not what you're talking about.

That was exactly my point; that SpaceX directly transferring cash from one company to another is indeed unlikely, but that the higher valuation of SpaceX is a bigger help for Musk's finances in general.

(EDIT: I was agreeing with you on the details, but also pointing out that there are effects here beyond the money directly raise that could help Tesla.)

Well not directly but by buying bonds. There is already precedent with SpaceX buying SolarCity bonds so it's not totally unlikely given Tesla's financial woes.
