SpaceX周四表示，其与特斯拉的潜在合并将需要控股投资者埃隆·马斯克的批准，尽管这位企业家因利益冲突已从其两家公司之间的谈判中回避。
SpaceX (SPCX.O) said on Thursday its potential merger with Tesla (TSLA.O) will require controlling investor Elon Musk's approval, even though the entrepreneur has recused himself from talks between his two companies because of conflicts of interest.
马斯克是世界首富，他在周二表示，SpaceX与特斯拉合并将是“一个好主意”，并称两家公司已成立特别委员会讨论合并事宜。
Musk, the world's richest person, said on Tuesday a merger of SpaceX and Tesla would be "a good idea" and that they had formed special committees to discuss a union.
SpaceX在周四的一份监管文件中表示：“我们的特别委员会尚未就任何潜在合并作出决定，任何潜在合并都将取决于我们的特别委员会、董事会及控股股东的进一步批准。”多位华尔街分析师表示，他们视特斯拉与SpaceX的合并为时间问题而非是否会发生的问题，但在特斯拉股东在交易中应获得多少回报上存在分歧。
In a regulatory filing on Thursday, SpaceX said, "no determination by our special committee has been made regarding any potential combination, and any potential combination would be subject to further approval by our special committee, our board of directors and our controlling shareholder." Several Wall Street analysts have said they see a Tesla-SpaceX merger as a matter of when, not if, but disagree on how much Tesla shareholders should receive in a deal.
路透社周四早些时候报道，马斯克本周公开背书这笔潜在的3.5万亿美元合并，也让参与讨论的部分内部人士感到不安，他们担心马斯克的言论可能招致股东审视，并使进程推迟数周。
Musk's public endorsement this week of the potential $3.5 trillion merger has also rattled some insiders involved in the discussions, who worry his comments could invite shareholder scrutiny and delay the process by several weeks, Reuters reported earlier on Thursday.
一位直接了解谈判情况的人士告诉路透社，该披露给进程制造了“一团糟”，因为它可能引发关于特斯拉股东利益将如何得到代表的质疑。
The disclosure created a "mess" for the process, as it could lead to questions about how well Tesla shareholders' interests would be represented, a person with direct knowledge of the talks told Reuters.
