Tesla and SpaceX discuss possible merger as Musk’s X ticker remains unclaimed

Elon Musk’s Tesla and SpaceX are discussing a merger, with special committees set up to examine it last week.
The stock ticker X has been vacant since United States Steel was acquired last year, and nobody has claimed it.
Analysts expect Musk to take it, though he has never said he wants it and the merger terms are not yet set.
Of 26 letters, only I, K, N, X and Y are free as US stock tickers, and Musk has used X since his X.com days.
