Elon Musk: “Next year I will give a SpaceX share to every kid"

“A big thank you to our legendary friend, Elon Musk, for his incredible generosity in donating SpaceX stock to millions of American children through Trump accounts!” Donald Trump writes it on Truth

"Next year, I'm giving away one of my SpaceX shares to every kid in America. It will be the first of many." So on X Elon Musk. Musk, writes Axios which gives great prominence to the news, did not specify whether the term "kid" refers to all children under 18 or another category, nor did he clarify what he means by the expression "the first of many".

Musk owns billions of shares of SpaceX

According to the Census Bureau, there are just over 72 million people under the age of 18 in the US. If each of them received a share of SpaceX, at Friday's closing price (equal to $146.03), the market value would be just over $10.5 billion. Musk owns billions of shares of SpaceX; therefore, such a distribution would only minimally affect its share capital.
