Elon Musk emerges as top funder for U.S. Republicans as SpaceX federal awards surge
Elon Musk has spent about $366 million on at least 40 U.S. midterm election contests, emerging as the largest individual donor, while SpaceX won $6.78 billion in federal government work over the same period. Filings show much of the spending flowed to Republican groups and America PAC. With Congress overseeing budgets and regulation, attention is focusing on how election outcomes could affect Musk-linked companies, contracts and probes.

SpaceX swings to profit in Q3, shares surge as Tesla merger talks add uncertainty
SpaceX posted a third-quarter net profit of $4.4 billion, reversing losses a year earlier and in the previous quarter, as revenue rose 161% to $14.58 billion. The stock rose 9.66% in premarket trade. Non-operating items boosted net profit above operating profit. Elon Musk said shareholders asked independent committees at SpaceX and Tesla to review a possible merger, though no deal is agreed.

Tesla-SpaceX merger possibility raised, with bitcoin also in scope
Elon Musk has formalised the possibility of a merger between SpaceX and Tesla, saying each board has set up an independent special committee to review it, while cautioning that treating a deal as certain would be an exaggeration. A combined company would integrate assets including Grok, X, Starlink, Tesla’s robotaxi and Optimus, and projects such as Terafab chips and the Starmind orbital data centre plan. The companies hold 30,221 bitcoin in total.
