SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell announced she would donate to the Trump Accounts program on Monday, joining a growing list of companies and billionaires pledging to support the investment accounts for American children under 18.
The gift, which includes shares of Shotwell’s and her husband’s SpaceX stock, will go to around 2 million Trump accounts, with a “bit more emphasis” on children who live close to their home in central Texas, Shotwell wrote in a post on X.
“We have been fortunate in our careers and hope this gift encourages the next generation to continue the journey of enabling humanity to live and fly amongst the stars,” Shotwell wrote.
On Thursday, President Donald Trump told CNBC’s Joe Kernen that he thought SpaceX CEO Elon Musk would donate company stock to the program.
