The newly released next-generation Roadster incorporates some of SpaceX's technology into Tesla's sports car, giving the public a direct view of the technological integration between the two companies and reigniting discussions about a potential merger. Rumors of a merger between SpaceX and Tesla have long existed. As the two companies deepen their coupling in products, technology, and strategy, signs of a merger have gradually become apparent. Business ◦ The two companies jointly advance Terafab: Tesla requires chips produced by Terafab to provide computing power for the Optimus humanoid robot and vehicles. In the future, Tesla will become an AI robotics company, albeit one that also manufactures electric cars. ◦ SpaceX also needs Terafab chips to provide computing power support for the StarMind orbital data center and Grok. ◦ Optimus, as Tesla's most core future product, requires SpaceX's AGI model to provide it with intelligence capabilities. ◦ Cybercab needs Starlink, and Starlink's mobile communication services can also be widely deployed and equipped in Cybercab fleet terminals to solve communication issues for Robotaxi in areas with insufficient cellular network coverage. ◦ SpaceX's future lunar/Mars exploration missions will require a large number of autonomous robots
