Trump bought SpaceX shares two weeks after blockbuster IPO

特朗普在 SpaceX 轰动性 IPO 两周后购入其股票

President Donald Trump bought as much as $50,000 worth of SpaceX shares on June 23, according to a financial disclosure first reported by Reuters, two weeks after the record-setting IPO of Elon Musk’s company. 据路透社首次披露的一份财务报告显示，唐纳德·特朗普总统在埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）的公司创纪录 IPO 两周后，即 6 月 23 日，购入了价值高达 5 万美元的 SpaceX 股票。

It’s not clear what price Trump paid for the shares, but by that point they had fallen from their highs of over $200. SpaceX shares were trading in the mid-$150 range on June 23. At the end of trading on Monday, shares closed at the IPO price of $135, possibly putting the president’s stake underwater. 目前尚不清楚特朗普购入这些股票的具体价格，但当时股价已从超过 200 美元的高点回落。6 月 23 日，SpaceX 的股价在 150 美元左右徘徊。周一收盘时，股价回落至 135 美元的 IPO 发行价，这意味着总统的这笔投资可能已经处于亏损状态。

Trump and Musk are close, despite a brief falling out last summer that involved the businessman accusing the president of withholding the Department of Justice’s files on Jeffrey Epstein because of how often Trump’s name appears in them. 尽管去年夏天两人曾发生过短暂的龃龉——当时马斯克指责特朗普扣留了司法部关于杰弗里·爱泼斯坦（Jeffrey Epstein）的文件，原因是文件中频繁出现特朗普的名字——但特朗普与马斯克的关系依然密切。

SpaceX has been hoovering up an increasing amount of government contracts and benefiting from the Trump administration’s deregulatory stance, according to a recent Wall Street Journal analysis. 根据《华尔街日报》最近的一项分析，SpaceX 一直在承揽越来越多的政府合同，并从特朗普政府的放松监管立场中受益。

White House spokesman Davis Ingle told Reuters that the president’s stock portfolio is managed by third-party financial institutions and replicate “recognized indexes, such as the Schwab 1000.” 白宫发言人戴维斯·英格尔（Davis Ingle）告诉路透社，总统的股票投资组合由第三方金融机构管理，并复制了“诸如嘉信理财 1000 指数（Schwab 1000）等公认指数”。

SpaceX lobbied popular indexes to change their rules to allow for faster inclusion ahead of its IPO, which means many people likely own some of the company’s stock even if they don’t know it. SpaceX 在 IPO 前曾游说各大热门指数修改规则，以实现更快的纳入，这意味着许多人可能在不知情的情况下持有该公司股票。
