Elon Musk has received U.S. antitrust clearance to acquire Mesh Optical Technologies Corporation, according to an early termination notice published by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).

The FTC filing identifies Elon Musk as the acquiring party and Mesh Optical Technologies Corporation as both the acquired party and acquired entity. The filing does not disclose financial terms, transaction structure, or the intended ownership vehicle, nor does it provide any additional information regarding the rationale for the acquisition.
Mesh Optical emerged from stealth earlier this year after raising a reported $50 million Series A financing. Founded by former SpaceX engineers, the company develops high-speed optical interconnect technology for AI data centers, including 1.6 Tbps optical transceivers.
