Stock Track | Rocket Lab Soars 6.85% Pre-market as Musk-Trump Feud Impacts SpaceX

Stock Track06-09

Rocket Lab USA, Inc. (RKLB) saw its stock surge 6.85% in pre-market trading on Monday, as the space industry experiences a shake-up due to a reported feud between Elon Musk and former President Donald Trump. This development appears to be creating potential opportunities for SpaceX competitors like Rocket Lab.

The upward movement in Rocket Lab's stock comes amid a broader rally in the drone and flying taxi sector. This surge follows President Trump's recent signing of executive orders aimed at bolstering U.S. drone defenses and promoting the development of electric air taxis and supersonic commercial aircraft. The orders are expected to reduce reliance on Chinese drone companies and advance testing of electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft.

While the exact details of the Musk-Trump feud remain unclear, investors appear to be speculating that any challenges faced by SpaceX could potentially benefit other players in the space industry, such as Rocket Lab. As one of the leading private space companies, Rocket Lab could stand to gain from any shifts in the competitive landscape of the space sector.
