Tesla weighs selling China business to clear path for SpaceX merger

Tesla is reportedly weighing a China sell-off to clear the way for a SpaceX merger

Tesla is weighing China divestiture (50% of production) to enable SpaceX merger, citing national security concerns about SpaceX's defense contractor role. The move consolidates Musk's empire but jeopardizes Tesla's margins; Beijing's approval is as critical as Washington's for viability.
