Anthropic's Public Benefit Share Plan and Musk's SpaceX Share Proposal

Anthropic plans to commit 5% of its shares to a new public benefit fund, with possible support for nonprofit organizations or direct distributions to specific populations. The board could add 2% of shares for every 50% increase in company value above a baseline, and the funds may also be used to study AI-related job disruption and displacement. Elon Musk responded on X by recommending shares be given directly to the public, then posted that next year he would give one SpaceX share to every child in America.
