Donald J Trump:
A BIG THANK YOU to our legendary friend, @ElonMusk, for his incredible generosity in giving SpaceX Stock to millions of American children through TRUMP ACCOUNTS! This is exactly what was envisioned when we created TRUMP ACCOUNTS — Bringing together the GREAT PRIVATE SECTOR, Elon and so many more, to invest in our children, by far our greatest and most important asset, and give every American Child a piece of the American Dream.

It’s nice. But, I think all Trump account mothers and fathers would prefer cash in each account; something like $50,000 per account. Stocks can lose money, but cash in the bank generally doesn’t lose value, except thru inflation.

HOORAY Elon! HOORAY President Trump! Amazing human beings.
Tell Soros, Reid Hoffman etc to do it.
No one's stopping them. Meanwhile this is Musk's money, he can do what he likes with it.
Imagine all the kids at recess talking about how their stock went up or down.............................
That’s capitalism.

Tf??? It’s not money for parents… It’s for the kids and for their future. I’m getting real fed up with TDS posters like yourself just that can’t seem to find the good in anything at all. It’s not your money nor is it Donald Trump’s money… Elon Musk is giving this to the kids. I wish Elon could get you some mental health help...you need it
“The world is a business, Mr. Beale. It has been since man crawled out of the slime. And our children will live, Mr. Beale, to see that... perfect world... in which there’s no war or famine, oppression or brutality. One vast and ecumenical holding company, for whom all men will work to serve a common profit, in which all men will hold a share of stock. All necessities provided, all anxieties tranquilized, all boredom amused.”
What is the age that children are eligible. Newborns or under 12? Just a general question from Grandfather of 9, great grandfather of 5.
Keeping the Caucasian population moving up is a worthy goal. Keeping ALL children in the right place in the US is a great service, even if it starts at birth from a set time.
You do realize that this is a conservative website don’t you?
Your comment reeks of statism.
The Trump Account with Dell and Musk additions are making every single young American a member of the investor class.
The smart ones will be taught the value of saving and will see their investment grow. Modest additions of their own will assure that they graduate high school with assets and not setting themselves up for a lifestyle of servitude should they choose college.
I suspect this is just another opening salvo in the master plan to rid the Republic of the scourge of socialist security.
Wow... now you actually want to tell people what to give. I am shocked that his was said in our group.
Buying stock directly from a company used to be a thing.
Apparently they don’t realize this is a conservative site or they are a troll or a very very young person. Stocks are meant to grow over time. A flat deposit into an account for a 5 year old would be depleted in seconds by desperate parents the second something happens because the kid has no legal control. The interest rate on bank accounts has been abysmal for years and earns almost nothing. Stupidity is everywhere these days
Children under age 18 (with a Social Security number) are generally eligible for Trump Accounts; the $1,000 government seed money is limited to certain newborns/toddlers (U.S. citizen children born 2025–2028).
USA Today
Trump Accounts are tax-advantaged savings/investment accounts (a form of custodial traditional IRA) created under 2025 federal tax law. Key eligibility details:
For a Trump Account itself: Any child under 18 who has a Social Security number is eligible. The child must not have turned 18 by the end of the calendar year the account is established/opened. Accounts are owned by the child but administered by a parent/guardian (or other authorized adult) until the child turns 18, at which point the account generally converts to a traditional IRA under the young adult's control.
Withdrawals before then are highly restricted. Recent Treasury actions have automatically enrolled most eligible children under 18; parents/guardians still need to claim/activate the account.
USA Today
For the one-time $1,000 federal government seed contribution (pilot program): Only U.S. citizen children born between January 1, 2025, and December 31, 2028, who have a Social Security number. This is the “newborns”/young children group tied to the current presidential term. A separate election is typically required to receive it.
USA Today
Additional notes: There is also private funding (e.g., the Dell Foundation's $250 contributions) targeted at many children age 10 and under (born before 2025) who meet certain ZIP-code/income criteria and do not qualify for the federal $1,000. Annual contributions from other sources are generally limited (e.g., up to $5,000 per child in recent years). Only one funded Trump Account is allowed per child.
USA Today
In short: Newborns (specifically those born 2025–2028 who meet the citizenship/SSN rules) can get the federal $1,000 seed money. Broader eligibility for opening and funding an account extends to children under 18 (not limited to under 12). Rules can be confirmed on the official Trump Accounts site or via IRS guidance, as automatic enrollment and claiming processes have been updated.
I think this is a very generous gesture on Elon’s part.
Just like Trump’s investment accounts for children.
My shares in SpaceX (SPCX) cost about $120 at the IPO. They go up and down daily. Plus 2%, minus 2%.
Buying or owning SPCX in the future will be like Lt. Dan buying into a ‘fruit company’ for Forrest Gump.
If my math and research is right, a $1,000 investment in Apple in 1980 is worth $2.5 million today.
One thousand dollars will get you about 6 shares of SpaceX assuming around $150/share. I can’t wait until dividends start pouring in!
Beware, I’m not a lawyer, banker, or professional investor. Just an average Joe.
My loss in Vegas casinos is -100%. My gain in the stock market is +60%. It’s all gambling, isn’t it?
After all, it’s just play money.
