Elon Musk has publicly endorsed a combination of SpaceX and Tesla, his two most valuable companies, in what would be the biggest corporate transaction ever attempted. There's a push to announce a deal by the first half of 2027, so that it closes during the current administration, according to people familiar with the matter, with the combined market value of the companies being around $3.7 trillion. Musk's endorsement comes at a moment of extraordinary influence for him, having repaired his relationship with President Donald Trump and tapped into fervent investor enthusiasm, but this advantage is not guaranteed to last.

US small business optimism fell to a three-month low in September as economic expectations dimmed and a smaller share of firms indicated it was a good time to expand. The net share of owners who expect business conditions to improve declined 4 percentage points to a four-month low of 6%. Despite a falling economic sentiment, JPMorganChase says most small business owners view their own business outlook in a positive light, highlighting the resiliency of small businesses. Bloomberg Businessweek is live from the Chase Make Your Move Summit in Atlanta discussing the future of small businesses in America.

Netflix reported earnings for the third quarter that exceeded Wall Street expectations, but forecast a fourth consecutive quarter of slowing sales growth. Meanwhile, SpaceX reported revenue for the third quarter that beat the average analyst estimate, sending the companies shares rising in the aftermarket. Elon Musk’s satellite, rocket and artificial intelligence conglomerate posted $4.4 billion in net income for the quarter ended in September, far better than analysts’ average projection of $1.88 billion.
