Elon Musk's enterprises, including Tesla, SpaceX, and xAI, are increasingly interconnected through shared resources and investments, fueling talks of potential mergers. Reports indicate early discussions for combining SpaceX with either Tesla or xAI ahead of a possible SpaceX IPO in late 2026. Such moves could create a trillion-dollar tech giant integrating electric vehicles, aerospace, and artificial intelligence.
Tesla has agreed to invest approximately $2 billion in xAI's Series E Preferred Stock, signaling deeper integration between its automotive and AI ambitions. The company is also discontinuing its Model S and Model X vehicles to shift focus toward robotics and AI infrastructure. This pivot includes operational ties, such as xAI's $430 million purchase of Tesla's Megapack systems in 2025.

Elon Musk's SpaceX is in early-stage talks to potentially merge with either Tesla or xAI, according to reports from Bloomberg and Reuters. Such a merger could precede SpaceX's planned initial public offering this year. The discussions aim to consolidate resources among Musk's companies, building on recent investments and shared operations.
Elon Musk addressed xAI employees at a companywide meeting in San Francisco last week, expressing optimism about the firm's future in the race for artificial general intelligence. He emphasized the importance of scaling data centers and securing funding to outpace competitors. Musk also speculated on innovative ideas like space-based data centers.
