MERGER NEWS 🚨 SpaceX and Tesla are moving closer to a merger, and a deal could be announced as early as December, according to the latest report from Bloomberg 🔥
Talks have shifted to deal terms. Boards and advisors on both sides are negotiating price and control, and one of the biggest open questions is how many SpaceX shares each Tesla shareholder would receive. That suggests SpaceX would absorb Tesla, rather than the other way around.
Bank of America analyst Alexander Perry expects an all-stock deal, valuing one Tesla share at roughly 2.8 SpaceX shares before any premium.
China is the biggest hurdle. SpaceX holds U.S. defense and government contracts, while Giga Shanghai produces more than half of Tesla’s vehicles, so the two sides are exploring ways to ring-fence Tesla’s China operations.
A December timeline isn’t set in stone, either. The companies have also discussed the announcement slipping into early 2027, and any deal would still require shareholder and regulatory approval.
There is no merger vote on the ballot for Tesla’s December 3 annual meeting, meaning any vote on a deal would happen later.
If the merger goes through, Musk’s EVs, robots, rockets, and AI would all sit under one roof, alongside Terafab, the chip venture the two companies already share.
