What this means for you

There is no deal or public proposal, so nothing changes today if you own or plan to buy a Tesla. What matters is who has to approve it: Tesla shareholders would need to sign off, which makes the path harder than it looks.

What was announced?

Musk is CEO of both companies. On the call, he said shareholders requested the committees and that there is "a lot of merit" in combining the companies.

Who would have to approve a deal?

This is the part that carries the most weight. Per Engadget, Musk holds about 82 percent of SpaceX's voting power, so approval on that side would effectively be his call.

What are readers and analysts saying?

CleanTechnica collected reader comments, and it is worth remembering that these are opinions, not facts.

What does this mean for Tesla owners?

Right now, nothing in practice. Tesla's cars, prices and support stay as they are.

What happens next?

The committees have to finish their review, and if a proposal emerges, shareholders must approve it.
