Маск наполягає на злитті Tesla та SpaceX

“I have to choose my words carefully,” Musk said.

The world's richest man then shared details from behind closed doors, revealing for the first time that both SpaceX and Tesla had formed special committees to consider the idea.

According to Musk, the committees include independent directors, and he himself cannot participate in the discussions, since he is in a situation of conflict of interest.

“Do I think that would be a good idea? Anticipating that getting enough support from Tesla shareholders could be difficult and that none of the committees had yet decided on the terms, he reiterated his support — not once, but twice.

The merger of SpaceX and Tesla would be a sensational event, creating a conglomerate encompassing electric vehicles, batteries, rockets and satellites. The stated rationale for combining these diverse interests lies in their shared ambitions to use artificial intelligence for space-based data centers, self-driving cars, and humanoid robots.
