Elon Musk has proposed a merger between SpaceX and Tesla, according to a report from Bloomberg Markets. The deal would aim to bring SpaceX into the S&P 500 by leaning on Tesla's existing place in the index.
Neither company has made a formal merger announcement, but the proposal comes amid ongoing discussions between the companies' boards on ownership structures, governance and a possible share exchange.
Prediction markets react to the proposal
Current pricing indicates a 28.5% probability of an announcement by December 31, according to Crypto Briefing.
The same source reports an 84% probability for an announcement by January 1, 2028. It also says the proposal appears to have lifted expected odds for an announcement by early 2028 by 25%.
What to watch next
Market participants will likely look for official statements from Tesla or SpaceX that confirm or deny the plans. The formation of special committees by the boards, or any forthcoming investor presentations or SEC filings, could provide further indications. Public comments from Musk could also move expectations.
