Debate over a Tesla-SpaceX merger and political turbulence 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 fall after the election results in Texas and statements by Republican elected officials, while the Republican defeat in the midterm elections makes the merger project more unlikely. Elon Musk's electoral defeat also weakens Tesla's steering wheel- and pedal-less vehicle project in the face of regulatory hurdles. The sub-events provided all concern the United States; the story is also covered in India and Italy, without detailed national differences in the available elements.
