(Reuters) - Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) Inc Chief Executive Elon Musk has signaled competition concerns over Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) Corp's planned purchase of British chip designer Arm, the Telegraph reported on Saturday, citing multiple sources.
E-commerce giant Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:AMZN) and smartphone maker Samsung Electronics (OTC:SSNLF) Co Ltd have also lodged opposition to the deal with U.S. authorities, the newspaper reported.
Earlier this year, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission opened an in-depth probe into the takeover. The probe findings are expected in the coming weeks, according to the newspaper.
Tesla, Amazon, Samsung (KS:005930) and Nvidia did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
Nvidia is likely to seek European Union antitrust approval for the $54 billion purchase of Arm early next month, with regulators expected to launch a full-scale investigation after a preliminary review, people familiar with the matter have said.
