Musk pledges one SpaceX share for every child in America next year

Elon Musk said on X early Monday that he will give one of his SpaceX shares to every child in America next year, calling it "the first of many." He did not specify whether that meant all minors under 18 or some other group. At Friday's closing price of $146.03, giving a share to each of the roughly 72 million Americans under 18 would be worth about $10.5 billion. The pledge followed Anthropic's announcement that it would dedicate 5% of its shares to a public benefit fund.
