White House denies conflicts over Trump buying SpaceX debt

Original: White House on Trump purchasing SpaceX debt before space order: ‘No conflicts of interest’

The White House says there are 'no conflicts of interest' after President Trump purchased SpaceX debt ahead of signing an order on space policy. The purchase has drawn scrutiny because Trump holds office while the administration sets policy affecting Elon Musk's space company, and critics are questioning whether the president's personal financial stake could influence government decisions on space matters.

Why now: Questions over the president's personal finances intersecting with policy decisions toward SpaceX are raising ethics concerns.
