SpaceX president Gwynne Shotwell says the two companies are moving toward shared objectives and does not rule out a future merger between SpaceX and Tesla, according to recent comments reported by multiple outlets. Shotwell indicates that SpaceX and Tesla are working toward the same kinds of goals, suggesting potential operational alignment if a closer relationship were pursued. While she does not announce a specific timeline or formal transaction, she frames the idea as something that could make coordination easier, referencing Elon Musk. TechCrunch and Business Insider both report her remarks as another signal that a merger is possible, though still speculative. The statements emphasize continued cooperation between the companies and highlight that any merger would depend on future decisions rather than an immediate plan. No official merger agreement, regulatory filing, or company confirmation beyond Shotwell’s comments is included in the reports, and questions remain about timing and the scope of any potential deal.
