The people, companies and trends shaping the global economy. Watch Carol and Tim LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF Elon Musk has publicly endorsed a combination of SpaceX and Tesla, his two most valuable companies, in what would be the biggest corporate transaction ever attempted. There's a push to announce a deal by the first half of 2027, so that it closes during the current administration, according to people familiar with the matter, with the combined market value of the companies being around $3.7 trillion.
