Tesla executives have been instructed to prepare for the separation of the company's China business. This strategic move is reportedly being considered in anticipation of a potential merger with Elon Musk's other venture, SpaceX.
The Wall Street Journal reported that advisers have explored various options for the China operations. These include a spinoff, a sale, or even closure of the business, indicating a significant potential restructuring.

Earlier this month, Elon Musk had not dismissed the possibility of Tesla merging with SpaceX, citing increasing synergies between the electric vehicle maker and his space exploration company.
