Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • A potential combination would bring a launch and space-services business together with an electric-vehicle and energy company, but the articles provide no terms, timetable or indication that a deal will proceed.
  • The committees’ independence is central to evaluating how the boards will assess the proposal; Musk says he cannot interfere, while the report questions their distance from him.
