Tesla-SpaceX Merger Announcement Could Come This Year, Barclays Says

07:06 PM EDT, 10/14/2026 (MT Newswires) -- A merger between Tesla (TSLA) and SpaceX (SPCX) could be announced before Tesla's annual shareholder meeting, which Barclays expects to be held by Dec. 6, Bloomberg reported Wednesday, citing a note from analysts led by Dan Levy. Barclays said the main potential benefit would be integrating the companies' artificial intelligence technologies, while shareholder approval would be a key hurdle, Bloomberg reported. The analysts said an announcement delayed until November could complicate approval at the annual meeting.
