Explainer
The SpaceX Share for Every Child Plan, Explained
What is the SpaceX share for every child plan?
Elon Musk, SpaceX's founder and CEO, has said he wants every child in the United States to own one share of SpaceX, and reports say the distribution would happen in 2027. It has been described as a gift of Musk's own shares. So far it is a public pledge, not a formal program with published rules.
How much would one SpaceX share be worth?
The value of one share depends on the SpaceX (SPCX) stock price at the time of any transfer. With roughly 73 million children under 18 in the U.S. (U.S. Census Bureau estimate), media reports have estimated the total value of the pledge at more than $10 billion. See our live SpaceX stock price page for today's value.
Do parents need to do anything right now?
No official sign-up exists. Nobody needs to apply, pay a fee, or share a child's Social Security number to receive a SpaceX share. Any site or message asking for this should be treated as a likely scam until official details are released by SpaceX or Elon Musk.
How could a child hold a share of stock?
In the U.S., minors usually own stock through a custodial account (UGMA or UTMA) managed by a parent or guardian until the child reaches the age set by state law. Whether the SpaceX plan would use custodial accounts has not been confirmed.
