Chinese arms-linked firm, Qatar royal money secretly bought SpaceX stake
New documents show that when SpaceX was a private company, investors with addresses in mainland China, Hong Kong and Russia bought stakes via a U.S. broker. The list includes an individual linked to a Chinese military contractor and an investor tied to Qatar royal funds. Records show at least 12 such investors put money into SpaceX-related funds from 2018 to 2021, with investments ranging from $800,000 to $40 million.
