19 Oct 2026, 8:42 PM	TechCrunch	2.0	Musk pledges to give ‘every kid in America’ one of his SpaceX shares Elon Musk posted on X that he will give one SpaceX share to "every kid in America" in 2027 — worth over $10 billion at SpaceX's current $146 share price, or roughly 1% of his $1 trillion net worth — with no stated mechanism for how shares would be transferred or held. The post came hours after Anthropic pledged to put 5% of its shares into a new "public benefit fund" intended to make large donations or direct distributions after its upcoming IPO; Musk replied to Anthropic's post suggesting it give "directly to the public" instead, then announced his own plan overnight. There are more than 70 million under-18s in the US, and Musk holds roughly 849 million Class A and 5.5 billion Class B supervoting SpaceX shares. Why: There is nothing here a builder can act on: Musk named no vehicle, no custodian, no eligibility rules, and no timeline beyond "2027," so treat it as a public statement rather than a distributable structure. The one concrete comparable is Anthropic's 5% public benefit fund tied to its IPO — if you are a founder anywhere near an IPO or a large secondary, expect questions about whether you are allocating a public-benefit tranche and how it would be governed. spacex anthropic ipo philanthropy
