To everyone that STILL thinks Tesla and SpaceX won't merge - think about this
IF Elon's plan really was to keep them separate, when asked point blank why the two companies are still separate - why wouldn't he have just answered the question?
It would have been a perfect time to put the rumors to bed so everyone can be on the same page and move forward, beyond the speculation
But that's obviously not what happened. Paired with all of the hints he and the team have dropped over the past year (to warm everyone up to the idea), it's obvious that the intention is to merge the two companies
The vote is a separate matter, but all shareholders should be preparing for a vote. I hope it's sooner rather than later, and there's at least a chance the fact Tesla's annual shareholder meeting announcement this year still hasn't been released (never been this late over the past 5+) is a sign the teams are working on the details and the proposal
