Musk promises SpaceX share to every US child
Elon Musk said he would give one SpaceX share to every child in the United States next year, according to the New York Times, CNBC and TechCrunch. The RSS reports said he did not explain how the distribution would work. The pledge followed Anthropic's announcement of a separate public-benefit share fund.
Why it matters
The proposal would distribute private-company ownership unusually widely, but its mechanics and eligibility remain unclear.
