Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". An announcement by Tesla or SpaceX within this market's timeframe will qualify for a "Yes" resolution, regardless of whether or when the announced acquisition/merger actually occurs. Announcements of partial sales may count, as long as the acquiring company acquires a controlling interest in the other company. A “controlling interest” refers to a change in ownership sufficient to control the company’s strategic decisions (typically more than 50% of equity, or equivalent control via voting and governance rights). Transactions or investments that do not result in a transfer of controlling interest will not count. The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from Tesla or SpaceX; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used. ## Evidence you can inspect _These labels describe how a claim relates to the question.

No individual review. It rests on 30 claims from 14 publishers; anything not reported in those sources is not represented here. The report recorded 5 resolution risks, listed with this brief. - 'Controlling interest' defined as typically >50% equity or equivalent voting/governance rights — 'equivalent control via voting and governance rights' is subjective and could be disputed for dual-class share structures or contractual arrangements - Resolution source hierarchy is unclear when official announcements and credible reporting consensus conflict - 'Credible reporting' is not defined — determining what constitutes a consensus of credible sources is subjective - Timezone boundary: end date metadata shows 2027-07-01T03:59:00Z which equals 11:59 PM ET on June 30, 2027 — minor risk of confusion around daylight saving time applicability - Partial sales language says 'may count' which introduces discretionary resolution uncertainty ## Publication history - Published 28 October 2026; research dated 28 October 2026. ## Since the previous brief This is the first published brief for this event.
