Trump Purchases Stock in Meta and Microsoft Amid Space Policy Launch
What happened
Donald Trump purchased up to $25 million in Meta shares and up to $6 million in Microsoft stock. He also bought up to $5 million worth of senior unsecured bonds issued by SpaceX in August. These investments occurred shortly before he launched a policy designed to accelerate commercial space transportation.

Why it matters
The investments have drawn scrutiny because the companies involved have significant business interests connected to federal policies. The new policy aims to increase the number of American space transportation launches.
