What happened: Analysis of the reported Tesla–SpaceX merger exploration sets out the governance precondition an actual combination would face — approval by holders of a majority, 50%, of all outstanding Tesla shares — a specific voting threshold earlier coverage of the reported exploration had not stated. The piece separates what is confirmed about the reported exploration from what is not.
What's genuinely new: The voting threshold itself — prior reporting carried the exploration report, a headline-scale valuation estimate and the silence on Tesla's Q3 2026 call, but no execution mechanism; still no SEC filing or company statement corroborates the exploration.
Watch: how any shareholder-vote mechanics harden, corroboration from major wires or an SEC filing, and committee composition or mandate.
