Elon Musk, the SpaceX chief executive, said Monday in a post on X that he will give one SpaceX share to every child in the United States next year. He said the gift would be the first of many. Musk did not say how the giveaway would work. At current stock prices it would be worth roughly $11 billion, nearly double Michael Dell's record gift to Trump accounts. The pledge followed an exchange with Anthropic, which had earlier said it would form a public benefit fund and dedicate equity to public benefit. Other tech billionaires have also contributed to savings accounts for children.
Left-leaning outlets lead with the pledge itself. CBS centers on Musk's own words, while the New York Times adds context about Anthropic's fund and other tech donors. Alternative outlets differ in focus: CNBC notes the missing details on delivery, and Axios emphasizes the dollar value and the Dell comparison, quoting Musk's post. Right-leaning outlets also report the pledge. Fox Business links it to the Anthropic exchange, and the New York Post highlights the 2027 timing and the promise of more. All sides agree on the core commitment.
