SpaceX Spectrum Buy Fuels Tesla Merger Speculation, Analyst Sees Private Mesh for Devices
SPCX sits 56% above its 52-week low of $104.83.
Summary
SpaceX announced acquisition of a low-band wireless spectrum portfolio, sending telecom stocks down 8-14% on disruption fears. Pivotal Research analyst Jeff Wlodarczak argues the real purpose is to fund a private mesh network for Tesla's AI devices—Cybercabs, robots, and the broader fleet—making a SpaceX-Tesla merger more likely. Tesla shares rose 2% on Friday following the announcement, while SpaceX gained 1.3%. The move adds a new strategic dimension to the ongoing merger speculation between the two Musk-controlled companies.
