By PulseAugur Editorial · [6 sources] ·

SpaceX and Tesla are exploring a potential merger, with both companies forming special committees comprised of independent directors to discuss the possibility. Elon Musk, CEO of both entities, revealed this during a SpaceX earnings call, noting that while he believes there is significant merit in combining the companies, particularly for cooperation on superintelligence software, chip design, and robotics, the deal is not certain. The process involves complex shareholder approvals, especially for Tesla, and Musk himself is excluded from the committee discussions due to his conflicted status. AI
