Elon Musk has revived the idea of a merger between Tesla and SpaceX which would create a giant valued at around $3,500 billion. Synergies in AI, diversification of activities, but also concentration of power and political risks: an operation with multiple challenges for shareholders.
The scenario of a merger between Tesla and SpaceX came back to the fore on Tuesday, October 20, during SpaceX's third quarter 2026 results presentation conference. Elon Musk, who holds 20% of Tesla's voting rights and 82% at SpaceX, confirmed the creation of independent committees responsible for studying a merger between the two groups, believing that this merger would be a "good idea". A project that would give birth to a technological giant whose value would reach around 3,500 billion dollars.
But this operation would require the favorable vote of 50% of all Tesla shares in circulation and many other obstacles remain to be overcome. SpaceX investors would subsequently become shareholders in Tesla's activities. Elon Musk was measured about this probable operation. He disputed the idea that a merger would be achieved, while expressing personal support for the project.
