SpaceX (NASDAQ:SPCX) and Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) are weighing a combination that could reshape Elon Musk's business empire, with negotiations reportedly advancing toward a possible deal as early as December, according to a Bloomberg News report.
The discussions involve the companies' board committees and advisers, who are working through potential ownership arrangements, governance and the terms of a share exchange, Bloomberg reported, citing people familiar with the matter.

A merger would bring together two businesses with a combined reported valuation of about $3.4 trillion. SpaceX was valued at more than $1.9 trillion following its June initial public offering, while Tesla's market value stood at roughly $1.5 trillion.
Regulatory hurdles could complicate the proposed tie-up. Tesla's manufacturing presence in China may draw scrutiny alongside SpaceX's U.S. defense contracts, creating national security and approval concerns. JPMorgan analyst Rajat Gupta has also pointed to those competing interests as potential obstacles to regulatory clearance and shareholder support.
The reported discussions come as Musk's companies pursue projects spanning robotics, energy storage, autonomous driving and space-based infrastructure.
