Elon Musk, the wealthiest individual in the world, announced on Monday that he plans to distribute one of his SpaceX shares to every child in the United States. Speaking on X, Musk stated that this will be the first of many similar initiatives. The U.S. Census Bureau reported that there are approximately 73 million children under the age of 18 in America, based on data from 2024. Musk holds a 38 percent stake in SpaceX, according to Forbes.
The billionaire's announcement follows a similar pledge made by then-President Donald Trump last month, who had proposed giving every American adult $5,000 if his party maintained control of Congress during the upcoming midterm elections. In June, SpaceX achieved a historic milestone by setting the record for the largest initial public offering in history, raising an astounding $85.7 billion.
Their Starship megarocket made its maiden voyage into orbit in September, marking a significant step forward in Musk's ambitious plans for Mars exploration.
