Tesla-SpaceX merger could unleash $240b in passive flows

Australian investors have thrown their support behind the potential mega-merger between Elon Musk’s SpaceX and Tesla, suggesting the combined company could attract more than $200 billion in forced buying from passive funds tracking the S & P 500 Index.

Musk said on SpaceX’s September quarter earnings call on Tuesday night (Wednesday AEDT) that the two conglomerates that he founded had formed special committees to discuss a $US3.5 trillion ($5 trillion) merger, which would be the biggest corporate tie-up ever.

SpaceX-Tesla mega-merger could come as soon as December.

The SpaceX-Tesla merger is increasingly sounding more like a when than an if. Bloomberg reports that the estimated $3.5 trillion tie-up could come as soon as December, but could also slip to early 2027: > The companies have also discussed a scenario in which an announcement slips into early 2027, said the people, who asked to not be identified because the discussions are private. Their boards and advisers are hammering out the terms of the tie-up and governance structure of the combined entity, among other matters, the people said. One of the complicating factors is how to keep separate Tesla’s business in China from SpaceX’s many government and defense contracts. The merger also may be upended by the Democratic Party’s success in the midterms, with many candidates running on the message of reining in Elon Musk’s corporate empire.
