President Donald Trump publicly thanked Elon Musk after the billionaire pledged to give SpaceX stock to millions of American children.
The pledge stands out because SpaceX is a privately held company: its shares do not trade on any public exchange, so a broad giveaway would involve restricted private stock rather than listed shares, with the transfer restrictions and illiquidity that come with it.
No delivery mechanism, valuation, or timeline has been announced alongside the pledge.
