SpaceX and Tesla May Announce Merger as Soon as December
Bloomberg reports that SpaceX and Tesla could announce a merger as soon as December, with early 2027 as a fallback, while boards still negotiate terms, governance and the share exchange ratio. At valuations above $1.9T for SpaceX and about $1.5T for Tesla, Tesla shareholders could end up owning less than half of the combined company; Tesla's large China manufacturing base and SpaceX's US defense contracts pull in opposite directions on regulatory approval, making China ring-fencing a core issue.

Bloomberg: SpaceX and Tesla could announce their merger as soon as December, with early 2027 as the fallback, while their boards still negotiate terms, governance and the share exchange ratio.
At current values of more than $1.9T for SpaceX and about $1.5T for Tesla, Tesla shareholders could end up owning less than half of the merged company.
However, Tesla’s large China manufacturing base and SpaceX’s US defense contracts pull in opposite directions on regulatory approval, which makes ring-fencing China a core issue in the talks.
