White House denies conflicts over Trump buying SpaceX debt

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

President Trump purchased debt in Elon Musk's SpaceX ahead of a space-related executive order, drawing questions about financial entanglement between the administration and a major government contractor. The White House insists there are 'no conflicts of interest' in the purchase. Critics and news outlets across the US are questioning whether the president's personal investment in SpaceX could shape federal space policy.

Why now: The president personally buying debt in a company that relies on government contracts, right before a space policy order, raises apparent conflict-of-interest concerns.
