## Summary

Elon Musk says he plans to give one SpaceX share to every child in the United States in 2027, a pledge that could put millions of young people on the company’s shareholder register. The proposal has drawn attention for its potential scale, but Musk has not explained how the shares would be distributed or which children would qualify.

Using a reported closing price of $147.49 per share on 23 October and just over 72 million Americans under 18, the article estimates the giveaway could be worth about $10.6 billion. The value could change before 2027, and a share could rise or fall in price. Musk made the pledge a day after Anthropic proposed committing 5% of its shares to a public benefit fund, amid debate about how technology companies’ wealth could benefit the public.
