PHYSIX OBSERVATION

If the merger materializes, Tesla's AI and SpaceX's space computing power will be deeply intertwined, creating enormous room for vertical integration. But the shareholder vote is a hard threshold, and last time's 11% non-vote already sounded a warning. For the industry, this is not just a capital maneuver but a signal that Musk's empire is pivoting comprehensively from carmaking to AI infrastructure.
