A/ Pretending to be generous by donating some shares to a charity fund, and the richest man instantly steps up to outdo it. Next year, he's planning to use his personal SpaceX shares to gift one share to every child in the U.S. Note: He's giving away his *personal* shares, not issuing new ones from the company. Let’s do the math: There are about 72 million kids under 18 in the U.S. SpaceX (NASDAQ ticker: SPCX) closed at around $146 last Friday. One share per kid adds up to roughly $10.5 billion. $146 might be a nice little bonus for a family, but for Musk, it’s pocket change. What he gets in return is millions of families keeping an eye on SPCX’s stock price. When these kids grow up and open brokerage accounts, their first stock will likely be SpaceX. The timing is brilliant too: SpaceX is set to release its Q3 earnings report after the market closes on Tuesday (Eastern Time). Last week, the stock dropped over 10%, and now, the day before the earnings report, he drops this bombshell—instant hype boost. No details yet on how the shares will be distributed or when they’ll be delivered. So, is this the "American Dream" of universal stock ownership, or the most expensive retail investor onboarding campaign in history?
