Musk Presses Anthropic to Give AI Shares Directly to Americans

Anthropic has stayed quiet on one big question. Will they hand shares straight to Americans? The tech giant announced Sunday it is dumping 5% of its stock into a new Public Benefit Fund. That fund could pay for charity or give money directly to people. They said the amount might grow if their company value jumps. Roughly 20% of all shares are now locked up for public good.

Fox News Digital asked Anthropic if they planned to send stock to kids and families here at home. The company did not answer multiple requests Monday. Elon Musk spoke out on X instead. He told the AI firm to skip the fund and give shares directly to the public right away.

Musk has his own plan in motion. Next year he will give one SpaceX share to every child in America. He called it just the start of many such acts. How exactly this giveaway works remains unclear so far. President Donald Trump praised the pledge Monday afternoon on Truth Social. He thanked Musk for his generosity through TRUMP ACCOUNTS. The president said bringing private sector leaders together is key. Investing in children means giving every American kid a piece of the dream.
