SpaceX and Tesla study merger with Musk's backing
SpaceX and Tesla have set up a committee to study a possible merger, according to remarks by Elon Musk after presenting SpaceX's results. Musk said the combination would have "many advantages" and would be a "good idea", but did not treat the deal as done. If completed, it would be the largest corporate merger in history and would create a company worth about 3.5 trillion dollars in market capitalization. SpaceX earned 4.404 billion dollars in the third quarter of 2026, compared with a loss of 1.054 billion a year earlier.
