Elon Musk says he'll give one of his own SpaceX shares to every kid in America next year, and he calls it "the first of many." With roughly 72 million kids in this country, reports put that somewhere around $10.5 to $11 billion out of his own pocket. They spent years telling us billionaires never give anything back. This one just made a whole generation of American kids part owners of the company taking us to Mars. That's an ownership society I can get behind.

Next year, I will give one of my SpaceX shares to every kid in America. This will be the first of many.

Shouldn't count your chickens before they hatch. People shouldn't praise an action until it's done

It’s so awesome. That and the Trump Dell family accounts ? Kids could have quite a nice nest egg at 18 Let’s see the liberals deny their kids that one share. Imagine if your friends had $250,000 at 18 but your parents say “we hated those guys “.

It didn’t happen yet you morons. It’s just a fucking tweet, like he always does, to sway the narrative. And all of you morons are just playing along like imbeciles…. Did people get their doge checks? Did we get hyperbole? Or anything that was promised?? Even the roadster has a fine print saying no promises and no guarantees!
