Debate over a merger between Tesla and SpaceX and political uncertainties in the United States
In the United States, an analysis estimates that a merger between Tesla and SpaceX would serve Elon Musk's interests more than those of Tesla shareholders. Shares of both companies decline after the electoral result in Texas, then the Republican defeat in the midterms makes the merger project more unlikely. Musk's electoral defeat also weakens the Tesla vehicle project without a steering wheel or pedals, in the face of regulatory obstacles. The provided sub-events do not document national differences; the file is covered in the United States, India, and Italy.
