  "account": "US President Donald Trump made transactions involving SpaceX, the company founded by Elon Musk, in July, according to a financial disclosure. The disclosure, signed by Trump on September 8, shows that he bought between $15,001 and $50,000 worth of SpaceX shares on July 10 and sold between $1,001 and $15,000 worth of shares on July 17. These transactions are among over 1,000 trades Trump made in July. The Office of Government Ethics, which collects ethics disclosures from US officials, published the form on its website on Tuesday. The latest trades highlight a new financial connection between Trump and Musk's rocket company as the administration contemplates decisions that could impact the firm's future. SpaceX conducted the largest-ever US IPO on June 12, valuing the company at $1.77 trillion. Earlier reports indicated that Trump had purchased SpaceX shares in June. Trump's spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment, and it was unclear from federal officials' use of ranges in their disclosure forms the exact amount of Trump's investment. SpaceX is a major U.S. military contractor and frequently requires approvals from federal agencies.",
