SpaceX Q3 results and Tesla merger talks

Musk confirmed that SpaceX and Tesla are exploring a merger, with special committees formed, which would create a company worth about $3.5 trillion. SpaceX says any deal needs Musk's approval even though he has recused himself from the talks. Advisers reportedly want an announcement by H1 2027, and Reuters says insiders fear Musk's comments could delay talks by weeks. Tesla reported flat Q3 revenue of about $28bn.
