TRX Musk says Tesla and SpaceX boards formed committees on potential merger
Elon Musk said the boards of Tesla and SpaceX have formed special committees of independent directors to discuss a potential merger at the request of shareholders, according to a post citing his remarks. Musk said he is a conflicted party and cannot take part in the discussions, and that Tesla would need a 50% vote of all shares, not just those voting. He said he sees merit in combining the companies and thinks it would be a good idea, but that shareholders must support it.
