Musk confirms: Tesla and SpaceX are examining merger

Tesla and SpaceX, companies led by tech billionaire Elon Musk, are exploring a potential merger. Musk stated that special committees have been formed to examine the possibility, but he is not part of them due to potential conflicts of interest. A merger would be a record-breaking combination of two companies with a total value of trillions of dollars, with SpaceX valued at over $1.9 trillion and Tesla at around $1.48 trillion.

Musk expressed support for the idea, but noted that it would require approval from at least 50% of Tesla's shareholders.
