Elon Musk Backs SpaceX-Tesla Merger as Rocket Firm Posts First Profit
Yahoo Finance ·
Elon Musk stated on Tuesday that he would support a potential merger between SpaceX and Tesla. The remarks came as the aerospace and artificial intelligence company posted its first quarterly profit since going public, fueled by lucrative computing power rental agreements with AI firms. SpaceX shares surged nearly 5% in after-hours trading following the announcement. Musk noted that independent director special committees have been formed at both entities to evaluate the proposal upon shareholder request, though he remains excluded from discussions due to conflicts of interest. For the July-September quarter, SpaceX reported a net income of $4.4 billion, reversing a loss of $1.1 billion a year earlier, while revenue jumped 161% to $14.6 billion. The turnaround was spearheaded by the AI division, rebranded as Super Intelligence, which generated $7.6 billion in revenue to surpass the Starlink satellite internet business. Meanwhile, Starlink revenue grew 69% to $5.2 billion with 13.6 million consumer subscribers.

DYAX 전담 분석
SpaceX's AI division revenue surged more than ninefold year-on-year to $7.6 billion, driving the turnaround to profitability. While a merger would create expected synergies in AI software and chip design, a high hurdle remains in requiring approval from a majority of Tesla shareholders.
If the merger succeeds, growth momentum from technology convergence will strengthen, but cost burdens from massive capital expenditures and the risk of the merger failing also persist. Key monitoring indicators moving forward are the progress of negotiations by the special committee and the process of securing additional computing capacity.
