Sources say Tesla and SpaceX plan to announce a merger in the first half of 2027.

According to insiders, relevant parties are pushing for Tesla (TSLA.US) and SpaceX (SPCX.US) to announce a merger deal in the first half of 2027, with the aim of completing the merger during the current Trump administration. The combined company's total market value will reach approximately $3.7 trillion. This move would further consolidate Musk's control over his corporate empire before any potential downturns in the political and financial environment. The U.S. midterm elections will take place in less than two weeks. If the Democrats control either chamber of Congress, Musk and his companies may face investigations, which could also weaken the influence of a president increasingly entering a lame duck phase. Meanwhile, if semiconductor and artificial intelligence stocks continue to be sold off, investor support could weaken, potentially affecting the progress of this ambitious deal. Bill Birmingham, Head of Research at REX Financial, stated: "Musk and his advisors clearly want to take advantage of this window of opportunity. The current timing is both favorable and critical."
