Reuters, as covered by The Next Web, has reported that SpaceX approached Tesla about a merger in recent weeks and that an all-stock deal is one option. Insiders reportedly worry that Elon Musk's public backing of the idea could bring shareholder scrutiny and slow the talks by several weeks, and CNBC reports that regulatory review could be a major hurdle.
