Bloomberg: SpaceX, Tesla Boards Eye Merger Talks

Bloomberg reveals that SpaceX and Tesla boards — both stacked with Musk loyalists — are formally evaluating a merger. The move would unite Starlink's orbital cash flow with Tesla's manufacturing scale and AI data engine. Critics will scream governance, but they miss the point: vertical integration from mine to orbit is the only way to execute Mars timelines. Shared vertically integrated supply chains, unified AI training across robotics and autonomy, and Starlink revenue funding Tesla capex create a flywheel no legacy auto or aerospace firm can match. The boards' composition ensures speed over committee theater. Our take: A merger isn't corporate gamesmanship; it's the logical architecture for a multiplanetary species.
