What Happened
Merger Could Formalize Long-Standing Collaboration Between Two Giants
Elon Musk is exploring a potential merger between Tesla and SpaceX, two companies he has led concurrently for over two decades. The companies have a history of collaboration, with SpaceX recently considering the development of a spacesuit for Tesla’s humanoid robot Optimus. Tesla’s new Roadster, featuring SpaceX rocket thrusters, is another example of their close ties. As Musk expands both companies into artificial intelligence, a merger could formalize their long-standing partnership. This development was first reported by The Wall Street Journal.
