Tesla weighs sale of China business to pave way for potential SpaceX merger, WSJ reports (July 31, 2026).
Will Tesla announce selling China's business in 2026?
Tesla executives have been told to prepare for a separation of its China business ahead of a potential merger with SpaceX, the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday, citing a person familiar with the talks.
A merger between Elon Musk's Tesla and SpaceX would raise geopolitical and regulatory hurdles, particularly in China, because SpaceX is a major U.S. defense contractor involved in national security and satellite programs, while Tesla operates wholly owned manufacturing facilities in China.
