Elon Musk says he’ll give a SpaceX share to every child in America next year
Musk said the giveaway would be the first of many, but he gave no details on how the shares would be distributed or administered.
- On Monday, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk announced plans to give one SpaceX share to every child in the United States in 2027, describing the proposal as "the first of many."
- The initiative would reach 72 million children under 18 in the United States as of July 1, 2025, representing about $10.5 billion in value based on the $146 share price.
- Musk has not defined eligibility criteria, specified whether shares will be held in trust or transferred directly, or explained how SpaceX will verify recipients for this distribution.
- A recent demonstration of the Tesla Roadster at a SpaceX facility in Texas occurred days before this announcement, though Musk has not linked the share giveaway to other company projects.
- With a 48.4% beneficial stake in SpaceX, Musk is the company's largest shareholder and the world's richest person positioning himself as a major benefactor through this initiative.
