Story summary

Elon Musk announced on X that he will give one SpaceX share to every child in America next year, stating "This will be the first of many" without providing specifics. With about 73 million children under 18 in the US, and each SpaceX share valued at around $150, this pledge is worth approximately $10.66 billion, a small fraction of Musk's nearly $1 trillion net worth. This comes days after AI company Anthropic committed to setting aside 5% of its shares for public benefit, amid growing concerns about the societal impacts of artificial intelligence.
