Contracts for the connected
The president owns stock in SpaceX and Palantir — and his administration decides what they get paid.
SpaceX holds about $22 billion in federal contracts. Palantir signed a $10 billion Army deal in July 2025 and passed $1 billion a year in federal obligations for the first time.
In June 2026, the president personally bought stock in both companies — while his administration decides what those companies get paid. That's from his own financial disclosures, as reported by Forbes.
No court has called it illegal. The ledger records it anyway — dated and sourced — so you can judge for yourself.
