AUTOMATED SUMMARY
Elon Musk said on X that he will give one of his SpaceX shares to every kid in America next year, calling it the first of many such gifts. The post came shortly after Anthropic said it would commit 5% of its shares to a public benefit fund, and Musk urged that equity be given directly to the public.
Census figures of roughly 72 million children under 18 put the gift at about $10.5 billion at Friday's closing price. Musk has not said how the shares would be distributed or whether every minor would be eligible.
