SpaceX has purchased $329 million worth of Tesla Megapack battery storage systems so far this year, a significant intra-corporate transaction between two of Elon Musk's flagship companies, according to a TechCrunch report.
The scale of the spending points to SpaceX's growing energy needs and illustrates how hardware, capital, and technology increasingly flow across Musk's portfolio of ventures, blurring traditional boundaries between aerospace and grid-scale energy storage. By leaning on Tesla's Megapacks, SpaceX is effectively internalizing part of its supply chain within Musk's corporate universe.
That interconnected structure may raise questions for investors and observers about related-party transactions and concentration of risk across Musk's companies, as the ventures increasingly rely on one another's technologies to scale their operations.
