Kelly Loeffler, the U.S. Small Business Administration chief, has reportedly reaped substantial gains from investments in SpaceX, the aerospace firm led by Elon Musk. Recent financial disclosures reveal that Loeffler significantly multiplied the value of her investment following the company's record-breaking IPO.
Documents show Loeffler initially invested between $1 million and $5 million in xAI, Musk's AI and social media company that later merged with SpaceX. Subsequent investments in 2025 further escalated the returns, previously unreported, suggesting shrewd financial acumen amid her role at the SBA.
While public records indicate no direct financial connection between the SBA and SpaceX or xAI, Loeffler's investments have sparked discussions regarding ethical considerations for cabinet members holding stakes in government-linked contractors. Despite requests, her office remains silent on the matter.
