Elon Musk may be on the outs with President Donald Trump, but among the White House staff required to file financial disclosures as part of their role, about 10% hold Tesla stock — Musk’s only publicly traded company.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt holds the largest Tesla investment of that group, with shares worth between $50,000 and up to $100,000 (stock holdings are disclosed in ranges). At least 11 White House staffers have stock in Trump’s on-again, off-again, billionaire bestie’s company, according to NOTUS’ analysis of 121 staff financial disclosure reports that were quietly published by the White House last week.
Leavitt also has smaller investments in Raytheon, Boeing and Trump Media and Technology group, the company running Trump’s social media platform, Truth Social. She has more than $1 million in cash in the bank, even as her failed congressional campaign owes more than a quarter-million dollars in refunds to unauthorized or excess contributions.
