Bloomberg, citing people familiar with the matter, reported on Thursday that SpaceX and Tesla are moving forward with merger talks.

The boards of both companies are working out the terms of the combination and the governance of the future entity. Tesla and SpaceX did not immediately respond to Bloomberg's request for comment. Tesla shares rose 1.5% while SpaceX edged up 0.2%.
why it matters
The main market reaction is in Tesla shares, which tend to respond to any signal about a major deal involving Elon Musk's companies. The talks have not been officially confirmed, so terms and timing could still change. Investors should note that the governance of the combined company has not yet been settled.
