Addressing the big question on the minds of both SpaceX and Tesla shareholders, Elon Musk said he thinks combining the companies would be a good idea but he can't be sure it will happen.
"Both SpaceX and Tesla have formed special committees to discuss the idea at the request of shareholders," Musk said during SpaceX's quarterly earnings Q&A session. As a conflicted party, Musk added, "I can't be in the conversation."
"Some people out there assume that a SpaceX and Tesla merger is a certainty," he said. "I think that would be overstating it."
