SpaceX Was Buying Cybertrucks in Bulk. Tesla Didn't Tell Anyone.
Bloomberg said SpaceX bought 1,279 of 7,071 U.S. Cybertruck registrations in the quarter, and other Musk ventures added 60 more.
- S&P Global Mobility data confirmed SpaceX purchased 1,279 Cybertrucks in Q4 2025, accounting for over 18% of the 7,071 vehicles registered nationally that quarter.
- Cybertruck demand has faltered sharply; registrations fell 51% year-over-year excluding purchases by CEO Elon Musk's companies, forcing Tesla to rely on related-party transactions to maintain production numbers.
- Musk's other ventures—xAI, The Boring Company, and Neuralink—acquired 60 additional vehicles, bringing the total Musk-entity volume to 1,339 units valued at over $100 million in Q4 alone.
- Because SpaceX is not publicly traded, these purchases bypassed standard fleet-deal disclosures, prompting shareholders to scrutinize whether Tesla was subsidizing Musk's ventures through favorable pricing.
- Sales to Musk-run companies continued into 2026, with 158 Cybertrucks purchased in January and 67 in February, while Tesla launched a $60,000 AWD Cybertruck to attract retail buyers.
