[SpaceX and Tesla Merger Talks Reportedly Progressing, Announcement Possibly as Early as December] Odaily Planet Daily reports that, according to foreign media citing sources, merger talks between SpaceX (SPCX.O) and Tesla (TSLA.O) are progressing, with both companies' boards of directors and advisors discussing transaction terms and post-merger governance structures. The two companies could announce the merger as early as December, but have also discussed the possibility of delaying the announcement until early 2027. If successful, this merger would be one of the largest deals in history, integrating electric vehicles, energy storage batteries, rockets, and satellite businesses. Negotiations still face several obstacles, including how to isolate some of Tesla's overseas operations and national security issues related to SpaceX's contracts with the U.S. Department of Defense. The two companies' boards of directors have previously established a special committee of independent directors to study the merger.
