Musk Weighs Tesla-SpaceX Merger, Creating a $3.5 Trillion Giant
Elon Musk is weighing a possible merger between Tesla and SpaceX, which could create a technology company worth about $3.5 trillion. Both companies are expanding into AI, robotics and semiconductors. A merger could bring shared strengths but also raise regulatory and governance concerns for investors.
Context
Tesla makes electric cars and SpaceX builds rockets and the Starlink satellite internet service, and both are run by Musk. He already leads several companies, so investors often watch closely how linked firms share money, staff and decisions.
