Why? That’s not needed and could well be detrimental long term.
A more interesting question is why?
It easier than doing an IPO.
That’s right!
That’s true.
It will still be private.
Why?
Yes, exactly. The entire edifice would be traded as Tesla until such time as the corporate name is changed.
Meanwhile, having been chastised in the past by the SEC or FTC or something, Elon Musk is clearly not going to respond to questions about this from media.
In the future, after such a merger, the various divisions could be spun out to "unlock value" as the term goes.
Currently, the only way I know to get a piece of the SpaceX action is to have a cool million to invest in BFGIX.
Tesla would be the “surviving” company. They would do an “all stock deal” and issue shares to cover the cost.
In the end, Tesla goes up; Space Ex is Public, and Elon is a Trillionaire.

I would understand Tesla and Xai, but SpaceX joining them is less obvious to me. Maybe there’s a synergy with the robots and Ai in space, and on Mars, that’s more easily served within one company, instead of cross company contracts?
Tesla isn’t private.
The most probable reason is to retain complete control in Musk’s hands. Next is that boosting Tesla earnings makes his $1 trillion pay package more likely. Also, if the companies are related, pricing on intercompany sales is more flexible.
