SpaceX and Tesla Explore Potential Merger

SpaceX and Tesla have engaged in discussions regarding a potential merger, according to a report from The Wall Street Journal. The specifics of these conversations and the likelihood of such a deal remain unclear.

SpaceX, the aerospace manufacturer and space transport services company, and Tesla, the electric vehicle and clean energy company, are both steered by Elon Musk. Musk is the CEO of Tesla and the CEO and CTO of SpaceX.

Separately, Netflix shares experienced a downturn as the streaming giant reported slowing revenue growth. This development signals potential headwinds for the company in a competitive market.

In European markets, French government bond yields have crossed the 5% threshold. This rise indicates increasing borrowing costs for the French government and reflects broader market sentiment regarding sovereign debt.
