By Corrie Driebusch

Wedbush analyst Dan Ives and team put out a research note shortly after the SpaceX prospectus dropped with a prediction: Ives believes that SpaceX and Tesla will merge in 2027. He notes how Tesla already owns a stake in SpaceX, and that the joint Terafab facility between SpaceX and Tesla further ties both operations.

"[Elon] Musk wants to own and control more of the AI ecosystem and step by step the holy grail could be combining SpaceX and Tesla in some way to give the connected tissue between both disruptive tech stalwarts looking to lead the AI Revolution," Ives wrote. In the prospectus, SpaceX says that the two companies have "developed the early foundation of a strong and constructive partnership through a series of limited but successful commercial engagements."
