Musk backs SpaceX–Tesla merger, cites 'superintelligence singularity' as rationale
XFreeze · x · 2026-10-21
Elon Musk says a SpaceX–Tesla merger would be a good idea. Both companies have formed special committees of independent directors at shareholders' request; Musk, as a conflicted party, is excluded from discussions.
Key points:
- Calling a merger a certainty "would be overstating it" — no terms agreed, no guarantee of a deal
- Tesla side requires approval from 50% of ALL shares, a high hurdle
- His rationale: "we're pretty much in the superintelligence singularity" — cooperation on superintelligence software, chip design, the Terafab, robotics, and the Starmind constellation
Next step: committees agree on terms, then a shareholder vote.
