Elon Musk weighs Tesla-SpaceX merger to create $3.5 trillion giant

rtl.be (French) —

Elon Musk is exploring a merger between Tesla and SpaceX, a colossal project that could create a $3.5 trillion giant and strengthen his control. The deal would be the largest in history. The combined company would unite electric cars, rockets, satellites, robots, and AI, with complementary technologies. Musk currently holds about 20% of Tesla's voting rights versus 85% at SpaceX, and analysts say the merger could give him over half the votes. Two independent committees are reviewing the terms, and Tesla shareholders must approve the deal. Musk cannot participate in those discussions since he leads both companies.
