A SpaceX–Tesla merger is reportedly under discussion, with no deal guaranteed

A post quotes Elon Musk as favoring a possible SpaceX–Tesla merger, citing potential gains from cooperation on superintelligence software, chip design and robotics. It says independent-director committees at both companies are discussing the idea at shareholders’ request but have not agreed on terms. The post says Musk cannot join those talks because he is a conflicted party, and a deal would need a vote in favor from 50% of all Tesla shares, not just votes cast.
