Steve Eisman, the \u201cBig Short\u201d investor, said he would not dismiss a potential combination involving SpaceX and Tesla, even as he warned that SpaceX shareholders could view the idea as deeply unattractive.<\/p>\n<p>During a June 8 CNBC interview, Eisman was asked whether Musk could use SpaceX\u2019s stock value to acquire Tesla and bring the two companies under a broader X umbrella. Eisman treated the scenario as plausible, while making clear that he would not favor it as a SpaceX investor.<\/p>\n<p>Eisman said:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI wouldn\u2019t doubt it. I think if if I was a shareholder of SpaceX, that\u2019d be the last thing in the world I\u2019d want him to do. But I\u2019m sure he\u2019s going to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>SpaceX has attracted extraordinary investor interest ahead of its IPO, with Reuters reporting more than $250 billion in demand against a planned $75 billion offering. The figures underscore the value investors place on the company as a standalone business.<\/p>\n<p>Eisman is often called \u201cThe Big Short investor\u201d because he was among the investors who bet against the U.S. housing market before the 2008 financial crisis. Alongside figures such as Michael Burry, Eisman\u2019s role was chronicled in Michael Lewis\u2019s 2010 book The Big Short, which was later adapted into a 2015 film.<\/p>\n<h2>Why Eisman Questions the Logic of a SpaceX-Tesla Deal<\/h2>\n<p>Concerns about Tesla\u2019s profitability shaped Eisman\u2019s view of a potential deal. He argued that the company\u2019s earnings have deteriorated sharply in recent years amid intensifying competition in the EV market. That concern helps explain why he framed any Tesla deal as unattractive for SpaceX shareholders.<\/p>\n<p>Electric vehicle economics formed the core of Eisman\u2019s skepticism. He described the EV business as capital-intensive and highly competitive, suggesting Tesla faces pressure from heavy investment needs, pricing challenges, and slowing profit momentum.<\/p>\n<p>Chinese competition added another concern. Eisman said China produces EVs more cheaply than Tesla, giving rivals a cost advantage. That issue could weigh on Tesla\u2019s margins as global automakers fight for share in a crowded market.<\/p>\n<p>Eisman reiterated:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI wouldn\u2019t doubt that he buys it, but like I said, that\u2019s not something I would want to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/tesla-spacex-merger-big-short-investor-steve-eisman-says-he-wouldnt-doubt-it\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : Bitcoin News ) Key Takeaways Big Short investor Steve Eisman said a SpaceX-Tesla deal is plausible but unattractive for SpaceX investors.
