Briefings
A potential merger between SpaceX and Tesla could create a $3.5 trillion tech giant, combining electric vehicles, spaceflight, and AI. Musk publicly supports the deal but notes no final agreement exists, and he cannot participate in discussions while serving as executive president of both companies. Financial data from the third quarter shows SpaceX revenue of $14.6 billion and AI division revenue of $7.6 billion, with Starship test flights occurring in November 2024. The combined valuation is estimated at $3.5 billion based on closing stock prices, though actual merger terms remain uncertain.
