SpaceX Reports Quarterly Profit as Musk Says Tesla Merger Talks Are Underway
SpaceX reported a substantial quarterly profit, fueled by growth in its satellite communications and artificial intelligence sectors. CEO Elon Musk indicated that discussions are underway regarding a potential merger with Tesla, though he tempered expectations for an immediate combination.

Rochester, NY, October 22, 2026 —
SpaceX reported a substantial quarterly profit, citing growth in its satellite communications and artificial intelligence sectors. The company’s chief executive, Elon Musk, also indicated that discussions are underway about a potential merger with Tesla, while tempering expectations that the companies would combine immediately.
The information provided does not include the profit amount, the quarter covered, or figures showing how much each sector contributed. It also does not specify the timing or participants in the merger discussions, or whether either company has made a formal proposal or decision.
Musk’s comments describe discussions about a possible combination, not an announced merger. His remarks, as summarized, also stop short of setting a timetable for any transaction. No further details were provided about the structure of a potential deal or the status of the talks.
The reported profit and sector growth offer a broad account of SpaceX’s quarterly performance, but the available information does not provide revenue, costs, year-over-year comparisons, or other financial measures that would allow a more detailed assessment. The summary does not identify the source of the financial results or provide a company statement beyond the reported comments.
For now, the reported development consists of two points: SpaceX posted a substantial profit, with growth in satellite communications and artificial intelligence cited as contributing factors; and Musk said discussions about a possible merger with Tesla are underway, while indicating that an immediate combination should not be expected. Further details about the financial results and the talks were not provided.
