Aditya DidwaniyaElon Musk’s two biggest companies are inching closer to a historic merger. Bloomberg reports that SpaceX and Tesla could reveal the deal as early as this December.
Talks Are Moving Forward
Elon Musk’s two biggest companies, space firm SpaceX and electric carmaker Tesla, are advancing in merger talks. They could announce the biggest deal in world history as soon as December. Bloomberg reported this, citing people familiar with the matter.
The news agency says Musk’s two companies could reveal a deal that becomes the biggest in history. This could happen as early as December.
A Possible Delay Into Early 2027
Sources told Bloomberg that the companies are also weighing another option. They say the announcement might slip into early 2027 instead. Right now, boards and advisers are working out the merger terms. They are also deciding how to manage the combined company.
In October, Musk said both companies had formed special committees. These committees include independent directors who are studying the merger plan.
Building a Massive Tech and Energy Empire
Bloomberg noted that the merger would create a huge conglomerate. This new company would make electric cars, rockets, satellites and energy storage systems. The energy storage part would help power future AI development.
SpaceX’s value has topped 1.9 trillion dollars since its June IPO. Tesla, meanwhile, is valued at around 1.5 trillion dollars. One major question still remains unresolved. It concerns how much SpaceX stock will go to Tesla shareholders. Negotiators need to settle this before Tesla’s shareholder meeting on December 3.
Hurdles Still Stand in the Way
Even so, several roadblocks could slow the deal down. The companies face regulatory and political challenges before closing it. One key issue involves Tesla’s factories in China.
The report says both sides must find a way to shield those Chinese assets from outside influence.
