Whoa! Musk's vision is truly on another level! He's planning to put up $10.5 billion to make 72 million American kids SpaceX shareholders! Here’s the backstory: Anthropic recently announced the creation of a charitable fund, planning to allocate 5% of the company’s shares, along with prior donation commitments from founders and employees, to benefit the public—about 20% of shares in total in the future. This is already considered a pretty generous philanthropic move among tech giants, but Musk saw it and replied directly: 'I suggest giving the shares directly to the public.' Shortly after, Musk announced his plan to gift 1 share of SpaceX stock to every child in America next year, stating that this is just the first step. There are about 72 million minors in the U.S., and with each share valued at $146, this involves approximately $10.5 billion worth of stock. Traditional billionaires usually do philanthropy by putting their wealth into funds, which then decide how to distribute it. Musk, on the other hand, proposes letting ordinary kids directly own SpaceX shares. If SpaceX continues to grow and thrive in the future, these kids could also share in the company’s success and profits.
