Morgan Stanley, the investment agency, argues that the Elon Musk, if the largest Tesla and rocket operator SpaceX can work more closely together through strategic alliances, technology sharing, or even mergers, will enhance Tesla's operational competitiveness. According to CNBC, Morgan Stanley summed up the three reasons Tesla and SpaceX cooperation, including the gradual exhaustion of funds Tesla more and more difficult to independent, the two sides can share technology and resources, as well as Tesla inseparable from Musk this soul figure. First, SpaceX may be able to sponsor Tesla working capital. As far as the market competition is concerned, Tesla's rivals include not only the old carmakers, but also the large technology companies that have fished the boundaries. Jonas says big technology companies are sitting on lucrative working capital, talent and business models, so they can turn the car's data and content into business opportunities. Investment agency Bernstein analysts also said that Tesla did need a huge operating capital, because Tesla plans to expand Model 3 capacity and invest in other businesses, so Sacconaghi estimates that Tesla alone in 2017 may burn 4.7 billion of dollars in funds. Although the demand for funds is Tesla, there are no buyers interested in Tesla, for reasons other than the Tesla are capital-intensive industries, there are other economic and political factors that may deter potential buyers. SpaceX, however, took on some of the latter's liabilities before Tesla merged SolarCity. Analysis pointed out that the market positioning good SpaceX core business includes the main exclusive satellite broadband, such as high profitability market, if Tesla at hand, well-funded SpaceX may also be able to rescue. Second, Tesla and SpaceX alliances also contribute to technical cooperation. Although there is no news of merging two companies, Musk does admit that SpaceX and Tesla have worked together in the past. Musk also said at the Tesla Law conference in August 2017 that Tesla had consulted the SpaceX team on the issue of aluminum shells, while SpaceX provided solutions that shortened the manufacturing time of each car by 8 hours. In addition, if SpaceX build its own satellite network, the Tesla can also use the former cloth network to transmit information in the car. Since the two sides have worked together in the past, it means that there is a lot of overlap in technology, and deepening cooperation between the two sides will hopefully lead to greater technical synergy. Finally, Musk will be dispersed in Tesla and SpaceX two companies, fear of further reducing the time to operate Tesla, if Musk further emphasis on SpaceX, may be the operation of Tesla risk, because many investors think Musk is the soul of Tesla people. According to this analysis, because investors think Musk difficult to find successors for Tesla, the combination of Tesla and SpaceX two companies is the solution to Tesla may lose soul figures.
