What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

New Treasury rules, which took effect September 30, allow wealthy donors to place shares of publicly traded U.S. companies into Trump Accounts, the tax-advantaged savings program for children. Gwynne Shotwell has pledged shares of SpaceX to more than two million American children through these accounts. Previously, these accounts were funded by low-cost index funds, but the new rules allow for donated stock grants.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The new rules allow ultra-wealthy individuals to efficiently transfer appreciated company stock to children. An economic analyst noted that this mechanism allows rich donors to offload overvalued stocks onto children who must hold them for five years.
