SpaceX and Tesla boards weigh potential merger

3dnews.ru (Russian) —

Elon Musk has confirmed that SpaceX and Tesla boards have formed independent committees to discuss a potential merger, though no agreement has been reached and shareholder approval would be required. Musk, who is excluded from negotiations due to a conflict of interest, supports the idea, citing potential synergies in AI software, chip development, robotics, and orbital delivery. He noted that Tesla would need approval from 50% of all shareholders, a difficult hurdle. A combined company would have a market capitalization exceeding $3.6 trillion, but analysts believe SpaceX is more likely to acquire Tesla. The merger could face opposition from Tesla shareholders due to potential dilution of their stakes.
