The newly released next-generation Roadster today 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 heated discussions about a merger. Rumors of a merger between SpaceX and Tesla have long existed. With the deep coupling of the two companies in products, technology, and strategy, signs of a merger have gradually become apparent. Business ◦ The two companies jointly promote Terafab: Tesla needs 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, but it will also produce electric vehicles. ◦ 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
