A potential merger between Tesla and SpaceX could face antitrust scrutiny if a deal allows only Tesla vehicles to use Starlink and other SpaceX technologies, a former U.S. Department of Justice official said. The proposal remains hypothetical, and its terms would shape any regulatory review. The former official said vertical mergers, which combine companies at different points in a supply chain, can improve efficiency. Regulators could seek to block a deal they view as exclusionary. In this scenario, limiting Starlink and other SpaceX technologies to Tesla vehicles could disadvantage rival electric vehicle and autonomous-driving makers.
