A More Than 80% Chance of a Tesla and SpaceX Merger? It Could Be a Game Changer.
Yahoo Finance ·
Wedbush analyst Dan Ives has put the likelihood of a merger between Tesla ( TSLA 7.35% ) and Space Exploration Technologies ( SPCX +2.83% ) at more than 80% over the next year, as the potential deal fits Elon Musk's broader artificial intelligence (AI) and data strategy. Tesla invested $2 billion in SpaceX earlier in 2026, and that investment has given Tesla nearly 19 million SpaceX shares, representing less than 1% of SpaceX's outstanding shares. Now, the bigger question for Tesla investors is whether a full merger would create a stronger AI, energy, connectivity, and robotics platform or dilute Tesla shareholder value by adding SpaceX's losses, heavy spending needs, and governance risks. SpaceX's June 2026 IPO has given the company a public stock price for the first time, which makes a possible stock-based merger of the two Elon Musk companies easier to value and structure.
