Trump's latest financial disclosure lists SpaceX debt he bought at over $1 million and up to $5 million; the form gives a range, not an exact amount. His ally Elon Musk runs the company. His accounts bought the notes on Aug. 18; on Aug. 20 he signed a new national space transportation policy that calls for more than 1,000 U.S. launches and reentries a year by 2030 and opens government launch sites to commercial companies.
