There’s nothing they need from Boeing. Dragon and Falcon are both proven platforms already. Boeing doesn’t have much to offer that SpaceX doesn’t already have a solution for.
Those engineers are free to leave and go work for SpaceX instead. You don’t buy a failing business division to get a few people and trash everything else.
Let’s hope musk doesn’t buy it.
Wouldn’t that be an anti-trust issue, since he’s already got SpaceX?
Just gotta wait a few months if his choice, Trump, gets into office :/

They may have some good engineers still?
