Congresswoman Maria Elvira Salazar Discloses Stock Transactions Including SpaceX and Berkshire Hathaway
Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar (R-Fla.) disclosed several stock transactions in August, including purchases of shares tied to Elon Musk's SpaceX and Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway. She bought $1,000–$15,000 worth of Space Exploration Technologies Corp on two occasions during the month when shares were trading between $134.01 and $149.60. Salazar also purchased Berkshire Hathaway B shares in August following similar purchases earlier that year. In addition to these high-profile buys, she acquired Merck & Co. Inc stock and Moderna Inc on Aug. 19—the same day Moderna announced a successful Phase 3 melanoma vaccine trial using Merck’s Keytruda. Salazar sold some of her Moderna shares the same day but retained her Merck holdings. Since 2022, Salazar has executed over 120 trades totaling $8.67 million in value. Her active trading and committee assignments—particularly on financial services-related panels—have drawn attention from retail investors who often monitor congressional stock activity for potential market signals.
