Investor Gary Black of The Future Fund suggests that SpaceX may acquire Tesla in the coming weeks. He predicts a deal where SpaceX purchases Tesla shares at $420 each, paid in SpaceX stock. According to Black, the transaction could take approximately one year to finalize.
Speculation regarding a potential merger between the two companies has intensified recently. Analysts at Barclays previously noted that an announcement could occur before Tesla's annual general meeting. This follows discussions about the second-generation Roadster, which some observers, including biographer Walter Isaacson, describe as a joint product utilizing rocket thruster technology.
The conversation around a merger has persisted since SpaceX became a public entity. While past mergers involving Elon Musk's companies, such as Tesla's acquisition of SolarCity or SpaceX's support for xAI and X, were framed as rescue efforts, the current discourse focuses on the integration of Tesla and SpaceX operations.
