My husband and I are honored and thrilled to participate in the Invest America program and gift a share of our SpaceX stock to a Trump Account for each of more than two million children across our great nation.
Every American child under 18 can benefit from having a Trump Account, but our gift specifically goes to the Accounts of children (ages 11-17) that live in areas with lower average household incomes with a bit more emphasis for those that live near our central Texas home.
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.
A huge thanks to all that worked to bring this incredible program to life.

Gwynne Shotwell is the president and chief operating officer of SpaceX.
This is a very generous and wonderful gift to a lot of children - and could be the make or break in their future success. Kudos to her and to Space X for creating this opportunity through hard work, innovation, and creativity.
Nice

What a wonderful thing to do!
That is really awesome and super generous of her to do that!!!
“Kudos to her and to Space X for creating this opportunity through hard work, innovation, and creativity.”
You said it all!
God bless her and her husband.
I feel like this program is inflationary and just sort of deflates the value of the dollar for everybody?
I think it’s called philanthropy. You can look it up.
Of course as far as it’s private charity someone earned it. I am just a little iffy about our tax dollars (printed money) going out in the billions. No need to be snarky I know all about philanthrophy.
Nope.
“Your” tax dollars?
It’s dollars from private pockets not “your” tax dollars.
What on earth are you prattling about?
You are a hostile person.
If it’s all private donations I have no issue.
