Musk Says SpaceX-Tesla Merger Is βa Good Ideaβ as Rocket Company Turns a Profit
Elon Musk said Tuesday that combining SpaceX and Tesla would be a good idea, confirming for the first time that both companies have set up special committees to study a possible merger. The comments came on the same day SpaceX reported its first quarterly profit since going public, turning months of speculation into a formal process.
Speaking on a conference call with analysts, Musk said he felt as if he were tap dancing through a minefield when the topic came up. He explained that the committees, made up of independent directors, were formed at the request of shareholders. Because he runs both companies, he said he has a conflict of interest and cannot take part in their discussions.
Musk was also careful to play down expectations. He said the committees have not agreed on any terms and may never do so, warning that treating a merger as a certainty would be overstating it. Any deal would need the support of a majority of all Tesla shares, not just the votes cast, which Musk described as a high hurdle.
If it happens, the deal would rank as the largest corporate tie-up of all time. Musk owns nearly a fifth of Tesla and just under half of SpaceX, and analysts say a merger would give him control of the combined company.
The merger talk overshadowed a strong set of numbers. SpaceX posted net income of $4.4 billion for the July-to-September quarter, reversing a loss of $1.1 billion a year earlier and easily beating Wall Streetβs expectations. Revenue soared 161% to $14.6 billion.
The turnaround was driven largely by artificial intelligence. SpaceXβs AI unit, which rents out computing power to other companies, saw revenue jump more than ninefold to $7.6 billion, overtaking Starlink as its biggest source of sales. Starlink, however, remains the companyβs largest profit generator. Spending is also heavy: SpaceX invested $19.6 billion in the quarter, nearly triple the figure from a year earlier.
Investors cheered the results. SpaceX shares rose in after-hours trading, while Tesla shares also edged higher. Still, SpaceX stock has been under pressure since its June listing, closing Tuesday well below its post-IPO peak of around $201.
Musk has floated the idea of a merger before, pointing to growing overlap between the two businesses in AI, chips and computing. For now, the decision rests with the committees and, ultimately, the shareholders.
