What the coverage shows
Most outlets converge on Musk saying SpaceX and Tesla are exploring a possible merger, with several, including BBC News, Bloomberg Technology and South China Morning Post, framing it as a major or “blockbuster” deal. The Verge and TechCrunch add the detail that special committees of independent directors have been formed to review it, while Axios and Ars Technica foreground Musk’s view that combining the companies is a good idea. Al Jazeera is alone in putting a $3.5 trillion figure on the prospective company.
