Tesla (TSLA) proxy shows a board getting ready for a SpaceX merger

Tesla’s proxy for its 2026 annual meeting, filed today, confirms that one of its supposedly independent directors now sits on SpaceX’s board. Ira Ehrenpreis, who chairs both Tesla’s compensation committee and its governance committee, joined SpaceX’s board in February. That’s one of several details in the filing that line up with a Tesla-SpaceX merger.
