SpaceX President and COO Gwynne Shotwell and her husband, Robert Shotwell, pledged shares of SpaceX stock to the Invest America (Trump Accounts) program. Valued at approximately \(\$325\) million, the donation grants one share to over 2 million children ages 11 to 17 from lower-income families.
The initiative places a special focus on communities in central Texas near the couple's home. President Donald Trump publicly thanked the couple on Truth Social, praising their "extreme generosity" and commitment to helping children achieve the American Dream.
These accounts are privately owned by children, remain locked until they reach adulthood, and can eventually be used for college, purchasing a home, starting a business, or continued investment. Shotwell’s donation of actual equity is one of the most prominent contributions to the program, which also received a massive $6.25 billion pledge from Michael and Susan Dell.
