Six U.S. House members, families bought SpaceX shares after listing, raising conflict-of-interest questions
Six U.S. House members or their family members bought SpaceX shares shortly after the company’s IPO, fuelling conflict-of-interest concerns. Several of those involved sit on committees overseeing defence, space, AI and financial markets linked to SpaceX. No evidence has emerged of insider trading or rule-breaking, and the trades are legal under current law. Critics and ethics experts say overlapping oversight roles and personal investments can still create conflicts.
