Elon Musk announced on Tuesday that a merger between his two most notable companies, Tesla and SpaceX, is under active consideration. Speaking during a financial analyst call covering SpaceX's quarterly business results, Musk stated that he believes the combination would be a good idea.
Both companies have already established special committees to discuss the potential corporate tie-up. The two firms have increasingly collaborated on artificial intelligence and chip projects under Musk's leadership, which had previously fueled widespread speculation about a merger.
If completed, the combination would rank as the largest corporate merger in history, potentially creating a single $5 trillion corporate giant. The discussions currently represent a preliminary exploration of the deal.
