# Musk says SpaceX and Tesla are exploring a merger : together they're worth about $3.5 trillion, and SpaceX's AI unit, which rents computing to Anthropic, brought in more revenue than Starlink last...

## Retrieval answer

SpaceX and Tesla have established special committees to explore a possible merger, Elon Musk said, according to Al Jazeera.

SpaceX and Tesla have established special committees to explore a possible merger, Elon Musk said, according to Al Jazeera. The report says no proposal has been agreed. Any proposal would need to be developed by the committees and put to shareholders; Musk said Tesla shareholder support would face a 50 percent threshold. He characterized the idea as having merit because of the companies’ complementary work on AI, while warning that a merger is not certain. Al Jazeera put their combined market capitalization at about $3.5 trillion and reported that SpaceX posted its first quarterly profit. The report describes an exploration process, not a completed transaction or operational integration.
