Elon Musk said Monday that he will give one of his SpaceX shares to every child in the United States next year, according to CNBC. The SpaceX CEO's announcement, if carried out, would mean a single share for each child in the country.
Musk currently holds about 4.8 billion SpaceX shares, based on an August SEC filing. That figure rises to 6.4 billion when unvested awards and stock options are included, representing a 48.4% beneficial stake in the company. The report does not specify how the shares would be distributed or which children would be eligible.
