Elon Musk says he'll give a SpaceX share to every child in America next year

SpaceX chief executive Elon Musk announced a sweeping proposal to distribute a company share to every child in the United States next year. The ambitious plan would effectively turn millions of minors into equity holders of a heavily valued private aerospace firm. Implementing such a distribution poses unprecedented legal, regulatory, and logistical hurdles for the privately held company. SpaceX currently relies on institutional funding rounds and private valuations to finance its heavy capital expenditures. Market observers are treating the announcement with skepticism given the immense complexity of transferring private stock to minors en masse.
