Several outlets, including CNBC, The Independent, NBC News, unn.ua, and Washingtonsun.com, specifically mentioned the SpaceX trades, with NBC News and Cyprus Mail noting SpaceX as a government contractor run by a former adviser. The New Republic focused on the tens of millions made selling Amazon and Microsoft stock. ### Centre - Centre-rated reports from El Diario, WTVB, Quartz, and Reuters focused on the specific transactions, particularly the buying and selling of SpaceX shares. El Diario and Reuters noted these were the latest transactions involving a government contractor run by a former adviser. Quartz and CNBC highlighted the disclosure of $25 million Microsoft and Amazon stock sales and the overall volume of trades. ### Right - Right-rated reports from Cyprus Mail and Globo primarily focused on Donald Trump's purchase and sale of SpaceX shares in July. Both reports mentioned the amounts bought (up to $50,000) and sold (up to $15,000), and identified SpaceX as a company contracted by the government and led by his former adviser. **Provisional coverage gap:** right. The watch is not closed, so this is not yet a settled blindspot finding. ## Factuality profile of the covering outlets These are published factuality ratings of the outlets, not a verdict on whether this story or its claims are true. - high: 8 - unknown: 6 - veryHigh: 4 ## Verification scope This page compares coverage and scores the source reporting.
