Tesla and SpaceX Boards Form Special Committees to Explore Potential Merger Amid Deepening Ties
Yahoo Finance ·
Tesla and SpaceX officially confirmed on Thursday that their respective boards have established special committees of independent directors to explore deepening their relationship, including a potential business combination. In quarterly filings with the SEC, both companies noted that while a merger is being considered, transaction completion is not guaranteed. During the quarter ended September 30, SpaceX purchased $151 million worth of Megapacks from Tesla, bringing the nine-month total to $480 million. Tesla booked $221 million in revenue from SpaceX in Q3, with $729 million in receivables remaining as of September 30. Furthermore, the two companies are advancing plans for Terafab, a joint semiconductor manufacturing facility in Grimes County, Texas, backed by an initial investment of about $16.8 billion, targeting test chips in the first half of 2027 and volume production by the third quarter of 2028. Tesla also holds an equity stake in SpaceX, having invested approximately $2.00 billion in March for a sub-1% ownership, which carried a fair value of $2.9 billion as of September 30.

DYAX 전담 분석
The potential combination of Tesla and SpaceX, alongside the TeraFab project, serves as a catalyst for long-term corporate value enhancement by merging their AI and semiconductor capabilities. In particular, the $221 million in Q3 Megapack revenue and the massive $16.8 billion investment plan stimulate expectations for earnings growth.
While a successful merger would positively impact stock prices through technology sharing and cost reduction, complex governance and conflict-of-interest risks remain burdensome. Key metrics to monitor going forward include TeraFab's 2027 test chip production schedule and the progress of the special committee's merger negotiations.
