Elon Musk supports a merger between SpaceX and Tesla as SpaceX reports a profit of $4.4 billion. Musk is chief executive of both companies and also chairs SpaceX and serves as its chief technology officer.
Elon Musk said Tesla and SpaceX had formed special committees to discuss a merger, which he called a “good idea,” while cautioning that it was too early to assume a deal would happen. Shareholders would need to approve it, including at least 50% of Tesla shareholders.
Elon Musk signalled support for a possible merger of SpaceX and Tesla. SpaceX also reported a sharp revenue increase and its first quarterly profit since going public.
Elon Musk says there is “a lot to be gained” from combining Tesla and SpaceX. Special committees are assessing a possible deal, but no agreement has been reached and a merger is not guaranteed. It would be the biggest merger in history and would require shareholder backing. Analysts point to complementary technology businesses, while warning Tesla shareholders could own a smaller share of a larger, more complex company.
Elon Musk said SpaceX and Tesla have formed special committees to examine a possible merger, which he believes has considerable merit because of their complementary AI work. No proposal has been agreed, and Tesla shareholders would have to approve it. The combined company would be worth more than $3 trillion. SpaceX also reported its first quarterly profit, posting $4.4bn for July–September.
Elon Musk is considering a more ambitious merger bringing SpaceX and Tesla together.
Elon Musk says SpaceX and Tesla are weighing a merger that would create a $3.5 trillion mega-company. He confirmed that special committees have been formed to consider the proposal.
Elon Musk said he favors a Tesla-SpaceX merger, and special committees at both companies are examining a possible deal. They have not agreed on terms, and completion is not assured. Shareholder approval would be required, and Musk said he is not part of either committee.
Elon Musk said Tuesday that the boards of SpaceX and Tesla had each formed a special committee to consider a merger, a small step toward potentially consolidating his two largest companies.
Elon Musk, CEO of both SpaceX and Tesla, voiced support for merging the companies during an earnings call, while saying the final decision rests with special shareholder committees at each company.
Elon Musk said Tuesday he would like to formally combine SpaceX and Tesla, his two largest companies. Speaking during SpaceX’s third-quarter earnings call, he called the idea good but said shareholders would ultimately have to support it.
Elon Musk said SpaceX and Tesla have set up special committees to consider a possible merger. The move is an early step toward a deal that would be the largest corporate tie-up ever.
