Plenty of companies with the same owner contract with one another. It's extremely common. When they're in the same industry, we call it 'vertical integration'

Musk doesn’t own Tesla. It’s a public company, and that comes with obligations to all shareholders.

No, it doesn’t actually. People just think that.

This happens all the time between SpaceX and Tesla. SpaceX is a private company just like Twitter and Elon owns a lower percentage of SpaceX than he does Twitter. There are even people who are on payroll for both companies. For example Charles Kuehmann is VP of Materials Engineering for both Tesla and SpaceX[1].

Which is completely irrelevant considering Tesla and Twitter don’t have the same owner.
