Trump publicly thanks Musk for 'national airdrop,' calling him 'a legendary friend'.

BlockBeats news, October 20: U.S. President Trump posted this morning thanking Musk for the "nationwide airdrop." Trump said, "Heartfelt thanks to our legendary friend Elon Musk, who through the TRUMP account generously donated SpaceX stock to millions of American children! This is exactly the vision we had when we created the TRUMP account—bringing together the great private sector, Elon, and many other forces to invest in our children, who are our most precious and important asset, so that every American child can have a share of the American Dream."

Yesterday, Musk posted that next year he will give one share of SpaceX stock to every child in the United States, and said this will be the first in a series of similar initiatives in the future.

Some market analysis pointed out that part of Musk's motive for this move is to help Trump in the midterm elections.
