Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has announced his intention to distribute shares of SpaceX to children in the United States. The announcement was made on social media, though specific details regarding the distribution process, eligibility criteria, and the exact number of shares to be allocated have not yet been released.
This pledge comes amidst Musk's ongoing involvement in various high-profile ventures, including his leadership at electric vehicle maker Tesla and his ownership of social media platform X (formerly Twitter).
