In February it absorbed xAI, Musk\u2019s artificial intelligence startup \u2014 known for its Grok chatbot \u2014 which had taken over the social network X in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>SpaceX went public this year in a record listing and is now valued at about $2 trillion.<\/p>\n<p>Much of its recent growth comes from renting data center computing power to other AI companies.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 What is Tesla? \u2013<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Tesla was founded in 2003 and became the world\u2019s best-known electric carmaker after Musk became chief executive in 2008. It is valued at about $1.5 trillion.<\/p>\n<p>Its core car business has come under pressure and Musk increasingly presents Tesla as a company built around self-driving robotaxis and its Optimus humanoid robot.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Why merge? \u2013<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Musk told analysts Tuesday that a merger would be \u201ca good idea.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Florian Frischmuth of engineering consultancy Envorso said a combined group could centrally control the key ingredients of AI \u2014 chips, energy and connectivity.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Garrett Nelson of CFRA Research wrote in a note that synergies would likely be small relative to the size of the deal, which in his view would mostly be about control.<\/p>\n<p>Musk holds about 82 percent of SpaceX\u2019s voting power but only about 20 percent at Tesla, where his moves have drawn scrutiny and lawsuits from investors.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 How easy will it be? \u2013<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Most analysts expect a deal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn our view once Musk discussed the deal it\u2019s a matter of when and not if this happens,\u201d Dan Ives of Yorkville Ives told AFP.<\/p>\n<p>He put the odds at 90 percent by early 2027 and said Tesla would likely need to be valued at more than $500 per share to win approval.<\/p>\n<p>Musk cautioned that a merger is not certain. It needs the support of a majority of all Tesla shares, which he called \u201cquite a high hurdle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But Nelson noted that loyal retail investors hold an estimated 25 to 27 percent of Tesla shares. With Musk\u2019s stake added, only a small portion of institutional investors would need to back the deal.<\/p>\n<p>The legal obstacles appear slight because both companies moved their incorporation from Delaware to Texas, according to Ann Lipton, a law professor at the University of Colorado.<\/p>\n<p>In Texas, shareholders challenging a deal must first show fraud or intentional misconduct, and companies can require that certain suits be brought only by holders of 3 percent of the stock.<\/p>\n<p>At SpaceX, that means about $60 billion of stock.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think Musk will have no trouble getting a deal through from a corporate perspective,\u201d Lipton said. \u201cHe should be able to muscle something through.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 What are the obstacles? \u2013<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Lipton said the bigger risks lie in SpaceX\u2019s importance to the US government and Tesla\u2019s operations in China.<\/p>\n<p>SpaceX depends heavily on contracts with NASA and the Pentagon, and Musk has poured hundreds of millions of dollars into Republican campaigns.<\/p>\n<p>Analysts say that if Democrats regain power in Washington, investigations into Musk\u2019s companies could resume, and SpaceX could eventually find government contracts harder to win.<\/p>\n<p>Musk has warned Democrats against targeting him if they return to power.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLive by the sword, die by the sword,\u201d he wrote on X, responding to a report on Democrats\u2019 plans to investigate his activities if they win the midterms.<\/p>\n<p>Tesla\u2019s large China manufacturing base could also draw national security scrutiny.<\/p>\n<p>One option, JPMorgan analysts said, would be to wall off Tesla\u2019s China business or hand control of it to a China-based consortium, similar to the arrangement for TikTok in the United States.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
