[Elon Musk Publicly Supports SpaceX and Tesla Merger, Raising Shareholder Concerns Over Fairness] BlockBeats News, October 22: Elon Musk previously confirmed that SpaceX and Tesla are evaluating the possibility of a merger. According to a person directly familiar with the negotiations, Musk's proactive disclosure of the transaction's progress and his expressed support in front of investors may raise shareholder concerns about the fairness of the deal, potentially slowing down the negotiation process and even subjecting the transaction to prolonged legal scrutiny. Typically, during the evaluation of a major transaction by independent directors, involved parties avoid publicly expressing preferences to ensure procedural fairness and to prevent external speculation that decisions have been pre-determined. Market analysts point out that if SpaceX and Tesla ultimately merge, the transaction could reach a scale of $3.5 trillion. Such a massive deal would not only involve corporate governance and shareholder rights but could also trigger scrutiny from global regulatory agencies. Tesla has significant business operations in China, while SpaceX is involved in U.S. defense projects and the artificial intelligence sector. The distinct differences in the business nature, regulatory environments, and national security considerations of the two companies could increase the complexity of obtaining merger approvals.
