“I agree with those that say the only real function of final evening’s Roadster occasion was to make the case for a $SPCX-$TSLA merger. My guess: Announcement in subsequent few weeks $SPCX buys $TSLA for $420/share in SPCX inventory; deal might take a 12 months to shut.”
Walter Isaacson, who was given the chance to comply with Musk round and write his biography, additionally noticed the second-gen Roadster as “virtually a joint product” between SpaceX and Tesla, particularly together with “the best way the thrusters and the rockets work.”
