  "summary": "Elon Musk has pledged to gift one share of SpaceX to every child in the United States, an amount SiliconANGLE reports could total 72 million shares valued at approximately $10.5 billion. Musk stated on X that he intends to give these shares directly to the public. This announcement follows a pledge by Anthropic PBC to donate at least 5% of its equity to a public benefit fund.\n\nLe Monde Economie notes that these tech leaders aim to redistribute wealth generated by artificial intelligence while maintaining their own interests. Regarding the distribution, Musk acknowledged tech investor Brad Gerstner, who was central to creating Trump Accounts, investment accounts opened for U.S. children earlier this year. SpaceX COO Gwynne Shotwell previously pledged over $320 million of her shares to the Trump Accounts program.",
