Better off together? Investors weigh up a potential SpaceX-Tesla merger

Investors speculate about a potential merger between Tesla and SpaceX as SpaceX's stock surge creates a $1 trillion valuation gap. SpaceX president Gwynne Shotwell did not rule out a merger, while analysts highlight synergies like shared employees, resources, and projects like the $55 billion Terafab chip factory. Tesla holds a 1% stake in SpaceX through its xAI investment, and both companies collaborate on battery purchases and Cybertrucks.
