SpaceX is widely expected to pursue an IPO in the near future, but speculation is now mounting about a bolder scenario: a full merger between SpaceX and Tesla. Such a move would have profound implications not just for the companies involved, but for every Tesla shareholder currently holding stock.
The pay package loophole
The legal backdrop is already complicated: a Delaware court invalidated the package in 2024, but Tesla shareholders subsequently re-approved it in a new vote. A merger would likely reignite legal battles and shareholder activism, potentially dragging through the courts for years. International Tesla investors — from Europe to Asia — would be directly exposed to the financial fallout.
