Trump Bought $5M in SpaceX Debt Days Before Space Executive Order

Original: Trump Bought $5M in SpaceX Debt Two Days Before Space Transport Executive Order

TechDirt reports that Donald Trump acquired $5 million in SpaceX debt just two days before signing an executive order on space transportation. The timing is drawing criticism, with commenters arguing the purchase creates an obvious conflict of interest, since the order could affect the value of Elon Musk's company's debt while Trump held a financial stake in it.

Why now: The apparent conflict of interest between Trump's personal finances and his policy decisions is drawing scrutiny.
