Tesla and SpaceX Form Committees to Assess Merger, Musk Says
Tesla and SpaceX said on 26 October that independent director committees had been created on 20 October to evaluate a possible merger, while analysts noted the companies’ differing growth rates and financial metrics could affect Tesla shareholders. The formation of the committees was first disclosed by Elon Musk on 20 October, prompting SpaceX shares to rise.
