Modi Predicts India's Economy Will be $5 Trillion In 'Near Future'

• SpaceX and Tesla have formed independent committees to explore a possible merger, with Musk saying the idea has merit but is not certain to happen.
• A combined business could bring electric vehicles, rockets, satellites, AI and robotics under one corporate roof, but investors would need to assess how the deal is structured and priced.
• Tesla shareholders would face a major decision over whether the potential benefits justify the risks of joining a much broader business empire.

Elon Musk’s proposal to combine SpaceX and Tesla could reshape the electric carmaker’s future, giving it closer access to rocket technology, satellite connectivity and artificial intelligence infrastructure. But for Tesla investors, the central question is whether the merger would create lasting value or expose the company to new financial and governance risks.

Musk said on Tuesday (20) that both companies had established special committees of independent directors to examine a possible tie-up. He supports the idea, citing opportunities to cooperate on AI software, chip design, robotics and connectivity. However, he cautioned investors against treating a merger as inevitable. The committees have yet to agree on transaction terms, and any proposal would need shareholder approval.
