 Dear Reader, Pull up Tesla's most recent SEC filing. Page 5. And you'll see a single line showing $12 billion in revenue from a brand-new "super startup" Elon Musk has been quietly incubating inside Tesla. 
This new "super startup" has nothing to do with cars, or robots, or space or AI… But it sits at the center of what Blackstone calls "a $23 trillion investment opportunity." And on July 22, Elon is expected to pull back the curtain and reveal exactly what he's building. But former hedge fund manager Adam O'Dell already knows… and he reveals it all in this urgent video. Adam believes this will go down as Elon's greatest ever invention, and his biggest ever disruption… And that investors who position themselves before this becomes front-page news could walk away wealthier than they ever thought possible. Go here to watch Adam's full briefing now... And he'll even give you the name and ticker of one of his top picks to play it — completely free. Regards,

Why Trump’s Amazon Stock Sale May Not Matter at AllReported by Sam Quirke. First Published: 5/19/2026. 
Key Points
- President Trump recently disclosed selling Amazon stock earlier this year, but the move likely says far more about portfolio reallocation than a worsening outlook for Amazon’s prospects.
- The stock’s core investment thesis continues strengthening thanks to AWS reacceleration and growing AI demand.
- With shares holding near their recent all-time highs and analysts still calling for major upside, the case for buying and holding is hard to ignore.
- Special Report: Trump Issues Emergency Order That Supports Elon Musk's Next Venture
While shares of Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ: AMZN) have cooled slightly over the past two weeks after an explosive rally in April, they’re still holding onto most of those gains and remain just below their recent all-time high. That resilience comes despite a headline last week that might have spooked many investors at first glance: Donald Trump recently disclosed that he sold Amazon stock back in February.
On the surface, that naturally raises questions. Whenever a high-profile public figure reports selling a major stock like this, investors are right to wonder whether it signals fading confidence or some deeper concern about the company’s outlook. In Amazon’s case, however, the evidence suggests they probably shouldn’t read too much into the move. In fact, when you step back and focus on the actual business fundamentals rather than the headline itself, Amazon still looks like one of the strongest mega-cap setups in the market today. The question now is whether investors should pay attention to the disclosure at all, or whether Amazon’s improving outlook matters far more. Let’s jump in and take a closer look below. The Trump Sale Looks Dramatic, But Context MattersThe first thing investors need to understand is that Amazon was not the only stock involved in the disclosure. Reports showed that Trump’s transactions from last quarter included both sales and purchases across a broad range of equities, including other large-cap tech stocks. That context matters because it makes the transactions look far less like a targeted bearish call against Amazon specifically and far more like general portfolio management. For example, he also unloaded part of his position in Meta Platforms, Inc (NASDAQ: META) while buying the likes of ServiceNow (NYSE: NOW), NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ: NVDA) and Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ: AVGO). While the stock was selling off around the same time, spooking investors with its rising capital expenditure plans, there’s little evidence that the sale from last February reflected a deteriorating view of Amazon’s longer-term prospects. If anything, he may be wishing he’d held onto the stock a little longer, as it has only gone from strength to strength since then. Last month’s report largely silenced concerns about soaring capex, and investors are increasingly convinced that the company’s aggressive spending plans will pay off. AWS Is Becoming the Main Driver AgainOne of the most obvious ways this is playing out right now is in AWS. Sure, for a period last year, there were concerns about AWS’s growth trajectory and the increasing competition in the AI infrastructure race. However, those concerns now appear increasingly outdated. Recent commentary from Jefferies suggests AWS is still in the early stages of a reacceleration as additional capacity comes online and long-term AI partnerships start generating revenue. That’s exactly the kind of commentary investors want to hear because it reinforces the idea that all of Amazon’s AI spending—and there is a lot of it—is beginning to translate into real results. The Stock Still Has Many TailwindsImportantly, while the recent cooling in Amazon shares might make Trump’s selling look justified, there’s a stronger argument that it is actually healthy. Having surged sharply through April and into the start of May, the stock was technically in extremely overbought territory. That made it difficult to chase an entry, as there was always a risk the rally was unsustainable without some volatile profit-taking. With that band-aid now ripped off, the technical setup has improved considerably for those thinking about getting involved. In other words, Amazon appears to have digested its recent rally while still holding onto most of its gains. The broader market backdrop also remains supportive. While equities in general have been cooling over the past week, investor appetite for high-quality AI and cloud infrastructure names remains extremely strong. As we’ve been highlighting, Amazon has done well to position itself directly in the center of those themes. Wall Street’s outlook reinforces that optimism. The folks at TD Cowen reiterated their bullish stance last week with a fresh $350 price target, implying there could be as much as 30% upside left. This echoed similarly bullish ratings earlier this month from the likes of BNP Paribas and New Street Research. Should Investors Follow Trump and Sell?Right now, there is little evidence suggesting that they should. Trump’s disclosed Amazon sale from last February may generate headlines, but a lot has happened since then—almost all of it positive. AWS growth is improving, AI demand remains robust, the stock’s technical setup has normalized, and Wall Street still sees considerable upside from current levels. Of course, risks remain. Amazon’s valuation is no longer cheap, expectations are high, and any slowdown in AI infrastructure demand could pressure sentiment quickly. Until that starts happening, however, investors have far more important things to focus on than who happened to sell some shares three months ago.
