What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Gwynne Shotwell announced a major stock contribution, pledging more than 2 million shares of SpaceX to benefit lower-income children ages 11 to 17. Michael Dell also made donations, while defending the use of individual company stocks in Trump Accounts. These accounts are tax-advantaged investment vehicles that now allow individual stocks as donations, a change authorized by last year's One Big Beautiful Tax bill.

The expansion of Trump Accounts, which previously required investments in low-cost index funds, now accepts individual stocks. Michael Dell suggested that exposure to a share of SpaceX could spark interest in capitalism and how capital markets function among recipients.
