SpaceX Reports Profit as Musk Supports Potential Tesla Merger; December Vote Scheduled
Elon Musk's SpaceX and Tesla have formed special committees to explore a potential merger, with Musk describing it as a "good idea" but emphasizing no deal is certain. SpaceX reported a 161% revenue increase to $14.6 billion and its first quarterly profit of $4.4 billion, driven by growth in its AI business and Starlink satellite services. Tesla plans a December 3 shareholder meeting to vote on Musk's re-election and his $158 billion 2025 compensation package. Any merger would require shareholder approval and faces significant hurdles.
