Musk was asked why Tesla and SpaceX are still separate companies. He said “great question”

Elon Musk suggested a potential merger between Tesla and SpaceX, citing extensive collaboration between the companies. Any such deal would require mandatory clearance from the European Commission, as Tesla’s European sales exceed the EU merger turnover thresholds. SpaceX’s recent $75 billion valuation and public stock provide the financial capacity to facilitate such a transaction.
