Trump Discloses Stock Trades in Nvidia, SpaceX Ahead of Awarding CEOs
Former U.S. President Donald Trump disclosed stock transactions involving companies whose leaders he later honored with the National Medal of Science. According to reports from Reuters and CNBC, Trump bought up to $1.6 million worth of Nvidia shares while selling as much as $1 million in August 2026. He also invested up to $5 million in SpaceX debt during that period. On October 7, 2026, Trump presented the National Medal of Science to Jensen Huang (Nvidia CEO) and Elon Musk (SpaceX CEO). The timing has raised questions about potential conflicts of interest or perceptions of favoritism. Additionally, it was reported that he bought up to $25 million in Meta stock during August 2026. The disclosures highlight the intersection between political influence and financial markets, particularly as Trump prepares for a possible return to public office.
