Could Musk merge Space X and Tesla?

On this week’s episode of the AJ Bell Money and Markets podcast Danni Hewson and Sarah Coles quiz Shares magazine editor Tom Sieber about whether Elon Musk could really merge Space X and Tesla after the tech mogul teased the prospect to investors. They also assess why Netflix growth is slowing and ask what the streaming giant can do to boost subscriber numbers.  With UK inflation rising faster than expected the pair discuss what it means for the UK economy and what it might mean for your money especially if interest rates rise.  With the budget fast approaching we ask which taxes might rise, which definitely won’t and why the UK’s debt has surpassed £3 trillion despite what has been a record breaking six months for tax payments. And Hannah Williford chats to financial planner Amyr Rocha Lima about his new book ‘Enough for What? which helps turn savings into retirement.
