Gwynne Shotwell Hints at Possible SpaceX-Tesla Merger

Gwynne Shotwell, President and COO of SpaceX, hinted at a potential merger between the company and Tesla in a recent interview with CNBC. According to her, such a deal could simplify operations for Elon Musk, who concurrently leads both corporations. SpaceX is already preparing for its public offering by amending its registration documents.

An updated S-1 filing now includes a warning to investors about the potential issuance of a significant volume of shares in future transactions. Such language is typically used when preparing for major corporate mergers, and experts believe Tesla may be involved. The company’s market capitalization exceeds 107,8 трлн ₽, with its core business still centered on electric vehicle production, though Musk is actively promoting Tesla’s role as a leader in artificial intelligence and robotics.

SpaceX has previously demonstrated a willingness to integrate assets from Musk’s portfolio. Earlier this year, the company acquired xAI, a startup founded by the entrepreneur, and xAI had previously acquired the X platform as part of a stock-based deal. These moves reinforce the strategy of consolidating technological assets under unified management.
