This move echoes an earlier initiative by SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell to donate hundreds of millions of dollars in stock to U.S. children's investment accounts, aiming to closely tie the future assets of America's next generation to interplanetary exploration. In Musk's view, this will be the first step for SpaceX to achieve nationwide wealth sharing and promote aerospace science popularization.
In addition, with a minor population of over 70 million in the U.S., the pledge to gift stock is equivalent to adding tens of millions of "native long-term shareholders" for SpaceX. This immense buzz directly triggered explosive discussions among retail investors and on social media, serving as a strong catalyst driving short-term buying.
