Elon Musk pledged to distribute one SpaceX share to each of the 72 million children in the United States in 2027, representing approximately $10.5 billion at the October 16 closing price of $146.03. AI company Anthropic simultaneously proposed dedicating 5% of its equity to a public benefit fund, amounting to roughly $100 billion given its current valuation of around $2 trillion. Together, these commitments could reach $110.5 billion, with shares distributed through Trump Accounts, a federal investment program designed to help American children accumulate long-term wealth. Musk’s pledge draws on his existing SpaceX holdings and would reduce his directly held position by approximately 1.5%, without requiring the issuance of new shares or diluting existing investors.
