Trump Looks to Musk to Donate SpaceX Stock as Big Tech Lines up Behind Child Investment Programme

Trump said the SpaceX donation would join pledges from Micron and Michael Dell, as the White House seeks corporate backing for the child savings plan.

  • During a CNBC interview on Thursday, President Donald Trump said he expects Elon Musk to donate SpaceX stock to the Trump Accounts program, stating "Well, I think that he will do that."
  • Major corporate leaders have already committed billions to the initiative. Michael Dell announced plans to contribute $6.25 billion, while Micron Technology Inc. pledged $250 million to support children's investment accounts.
  • Trump characterized his relationship with Musk as strong, describing their past disagreement over electric vehicle subsidies as a "little dispute." Musk has offered no immediate comment on Trump's donation expectations.
  • Ahead of the official launch on July 4, executives from Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange plan to ring the opening bell from the Oval Office to mark the program's rollout.
  • More than six million people have registered for Trump Accounts before its launch, positioning the program as a flagship initiative reshaping economic policy through alliances with major technology leaders.
