BlockBeats News, July 6th, SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell announced on Monday that she and her husband would donate 2 million shares of SpaceX stock to the "Trump Account" plan, with each of over 2 million American children receiving one share. Based on the current price of approximately $160 per share, the total value is about $320 million. This announcement comes just days after Trump publicly anticipated that "SpaceX will participate in this plan." She stated that the donation is aimed at children aged 11 to 17 in low-income areas and will focus on recipients near their residence in central Texas.
Previously, Michael Dell and his wife pledged to donate $6.25 billion, Micron Technology pledged $250 million; BlackRock, Intel, JPMorgan Chase, and others stated that they would match donations based on a $1,000 standard.
Trump had previously mentioned in an interview with CNBC that he expected Musk to donate SpaceX stock, "I think he will do this," but Musk has not publicly responded so far. Trump also mentioned that his relationship with Musk remains strong, describing their previous differences as "a little friction."
