Elon Musk’s SpaceX is eyeing a tender offer that would value the aerospace company at $350 billion
Bloomberg, citing unnamed sources familiar with the discussions, reports that discussions are still ongoing and things could change.

Amazon (AMZN) founder Jeff Bezos said his space venture may not be a good business today, but that doesn’t mean it won’t be one tomorrow.
Blue Origin “is not a very good business yet,” Bezos said Wednesday at The New York Times (NYT)’ DealBook Summit. But the world’s second-wealthiest person is hopeful about the space exploration company’s potential, going so far as to say it could be bigger than his e-commerce giant.
