Traders now price a Tesla-SpaceX merger announcement above even odds, with Barclays among analysts setting out scenarios.
The hit
Prediction market odds on a Tesla-SpaceX merger have climbed past 50% for early 2027, according to CNBC. Tesla & SpaceX are both controlled by Elon Musk. Neither company has made any formal announcement or filing on how a merger could work.
Why it matters
For traders, the jump shows sentiment can move a contract without any corporate action behind it. Recent analyses, including one from Barclays, have set out possible merger scenarios, though official confirmations from either company remain absent. Regulatory reviews or statements from antitrust authorities may influence the perceived likelihood of a deal, according to Crypto Briefing.
