Elon Musk revealed that SpaceX and Tesla have formed a special committee to evaluate a merger, with the two companies combined valued at approximately $3.5 trillion, and AI superintelligence serving as the core of potential synergies.
ARK Invest has released an update to its open-source Tesla valuation model, projecting that Tesla will be worth approximately $4,400 per share by 2031. A Monte Carlo simulation based on 32 independent variables shows a bear case of around $3,300 per share and a bull case of around $5,000 per share, corresponding to annualized share price gains of 53% and 66%, respectively, with the base case implying an annualized return of approximately 62%.Under the base case, ARK Invest expects Tesla's total revenue to reach approximately $1.45 trillion by 2031, with EBITDA of about $902 billion and a market capitalization of approximately $17.5 trillion.To support the development of its AI and robotics businesses, the model also assumes that Tesla's cumulative AI infrastructure spending will increase from approximately $7 billion at the end of 2025 to approximately $225 billion by the end of 2031. Robotaxi is expected to become Tesla's primary source of value, contributing approximately 80% of enterprise value by 2031. The humanoid robot Optimus will also become an important growth engine, with Tesla's cumulative external sales of Optimus robots reaching approximately 1 million units by 2031, and revenue from robotics-as-a-service (RaaS) and related businesses amounting to approximately $212 billion.However, ARK Invest cautions that these valuations depend on multiple assumptions, including the pace of autonomous driving commercialization, the maturity of robotics technology, profit margins, and capital efficiency. Actual results may differ significantly from these projections. The model is for reference only and does not constitute investment advice.
Recently, Tesla submitted an annual disclosure filing to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), officially announcing that CEO Elon Musk's total compensation for 2025 was $158.359 billion (approximately 1.07 trillion yuan), all granted in the form of stock awards. The compensation consists of two parts: a $132.3 billion 2025 long-term performance stock award, plus a $26.06 billion temporary transition award, of which the transition award was subsequently voided. The combined book-value total of the two is $158.359 billion. If this astronomical book figure is converted based on 8,760 hours in a year, it equates to Musk earning $18.08 million per hour, approximately 120 million yuan.However, it should be made clear that $158.359 billion is not cash that Musk has taken home; it is merely the accounting fair value estimate of Tesla's 2025 CEO performance award plan at the grant date.At the same time, Tesla explicitly stated in the filing that in fiscal year 2025, Tesla did not meet the market capitalization and operating performance targets corresponding to this incentive plan. Therefore, Musk's actual take-home income for the full year of 2025 was zero—no cash income, and no equity was unlocked. The relevant shares are currently in a locked state. (Bianniu Shi)
Odaily reports: “White-Haired Stock Oracle” Serenity posted that Musk’s recent abrupt interactions with multiple finance-sector KOLs have amplified market concerns about CoreWeave (CRWV) financing risks and speculative behavior among AI investors. Although Musk is highly visionary, from the outside, continuously magnifying the problems facing competitors and accusing Samsung and SK Hynix of overpricing may further increase the financing difficulty of those parties. These remarks may benefit Tesla and SpaceX in the long run, but the market may also overlook the specific context of some of these issues as a result.Serenity added that it had previously raised concerns multiple times about CoreWeave’s debt interest burden and the risk of rising rates, and criticized the market for lacking detailed analysis of changes in high-end memory chip supply and Broadcom CEO’s remarks about OpenAI’s annualized recurring revenue (ARR). It also suggested that when Musk criticizes competitors, he should also consider the risks he himself faces.

Odaily News: The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) plans to unveil two crypto-related initiatives in the coming days, while Congress's CLARITY Act remains stalled at least until September. The SEC is expected to propose "Regulation Crypto" at a public meeting on Friday, allowing projects to raise funds through token sales without completing full securities registration. The SEC also plans to introduce an "innovation exemption" for tokenized stocks, with details potentially released on Friday. The exemption would allow tokenized versions of stocks such as Apple, Tesla, and Nvidia to trade on the blockchain 24/7, with support for fractional trading and near-instant settlement. Such tokens typically track the economic exposure of the underlying stock but do not carry voting rights or dividend entitlements. The initiative falls under SEC Chairman Paul Atkins's "Project Crypto" agenda, with Robinhood Chain, Solana, and Base all having advanced related on-chain markets. (Decrypt)
According to U.S. financial media outlet Semafor, Elon Musk proposed a merger between Tesla (TSLA.O) and SpaceX (SPCX.O) earlier this week, and a former Department of Justice official stated that the risk of triggering antitrust issues is real. The official pointed out that antitrust regulators view such "vertical" mergers as pro-competitive because they help improve supply chain efficiency; however, if the Tesla-SpaceX merger is deemed a potential "vertical foreclosure" merger, regulators may attempt to block it.
According to Reuters, sources familiar with the matter said Musk revealed progress on evaluating a SpaceX-Tesla merger during an investor call this week and publicly expressed his support. The move has unsettled some negotiation participants, potentially delaying talks by several weeks and triggering more extensive legal scrutiny. During the call, Musk stated that both companies are exploring what could become the largest corporate transaction in history and have established special committees to evaluate the proposals. He also acknowledged a conflict of interest, stating he cannot participate in discussions involving either committee. The deal remains in its early stages. According to three sources familiar with the matter, both sides have engaged advisors, and discussed deal structures include SpaceX acquiring Tesla or combining the two companies through a newly established holding company, with consideration arrangements including an all-stock transaction. Musk owns nearly one-fifth of Tesla and just under half of SpaceX. Those involved in the negotiations worry that his public comments will lead investors to question the independence of the special committees and place greater emphasis on how conflicts of interest are addressed.

Investors should watch revenue, ad impressions, and average price changes to assess whether AI recommendation systems and advertising tools can improve monetization efficiency. Meanwhile, Meta expects capital expenditures to reach $130 billion to $145 billion in 2026.

Earlier, Tesla had arranged approximately $30 billion in new loans and credit lines to support the expansion of its automotive, battery, autonomous driving, and robotics businesses.

Odaily News According to foreign media BusinessInsider, based on publicly disclosed holdings data, "Oracle of Omaha" Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway indirectly holds approximately 0.04% of SpaceX shares through a two-tier equity nesting "look-through shareholding" model, with a corresponding market value exceeding $700 million. This also creates a rare capital intersection between two top business tycoons, "the Oracle of Omaha" Buffett and "Iron Man" Musk.Musk has long regarded Buffett's investment endorsement as an important industry validation, and has repeatedly publicly extended olive branches to Buffett on social platforms, hoping he would become a shareholder in his companies. Musk joked in a 2023 post: "Too bad he didn't invest when Tesla's market cap was only 0.1% of its current value." In 2024, he publicly stated again: "He should build a position in Tesla; that's the obvious choice." Now, although Buffett has not invested in Tesla, he has become an "invisible shareholder" of SpaceX in another way.In terms of the shareholding structure, this stake is not a direct investment by Berkshire in SpaceX, but rather an incidental asset from its heavy position in tech giant Google's parent company Alphabet.
