SpaceX, Tesla merger talks progress, Bloomberg News reports
The companies have formed committees as Bloomberg said a deal could come as soon as December, while analysts say the combined value could near $3.5 trillion.
- On Thursday, Bloomberg News reported that Tesla and SpaceX are advancing merger negotiations, with a potential deal announcement possible as early as December or extending into early 2027.
- Musk is considering unifying his AI, robotics, EV, and aerospace ambitions under one corporate roof, calling the merger a "good idea" last month. Both companies have formed committees to explore the potential merits of a tie-up.
- Combining the two companies would create an entity worth roughly $3.5 trillion, surpassing Amazon. Musk controls around 82% of SpaceX voting power, according to TIME, enabling him to approve the deal on SpaceX's side independently.
- Regulatory obstacles complicate the path forward, as China accounted for 22% of Tesla's revenue last year, according to CNBC. Multiple countries' defense and competition officials could scrutinize or block the deal.
- The deal timeline targets a December announcement, though discussions include scenarios extending into early 2027. No terms have been agreed, and the companies could not be immediately reached for comment on the report.
