Tesla Evaluates Sale of China Operations Amid Potential SpaceX Merger
Tesla is exploring the potential sale or spinoff of its China operations, possibly to facilitate a merger with SpaceX. The move aims to address national security and citizenship requirements for SpaceX as a defense contractor, given China's critical role in Tesla's global production and market strategy.
Tesla had already reportedly prepped for the idea in the event that Beijing invades Taiwan.
