Tesla-SpaceX merger faces antitrust scrutiny over Starlink exclusivity
- —Ex-DOJ official cited risk of 'vertical foreclosure' limiting competition
- —Exclusive Starlink access for Tesla could hurt other EV and autonomous-driving firms
- —The transaction is still hypothetical; no probe or block has been initiated
- —Democrats may step up scrutiny of Musk's deals if they retake the House next month
Why it matters: A merger would combine Tesla's and SpaceX's 30,221 BTC; antitrust concerns could delay or derail the deal.
