Trump Showers Praise On Michael And Susan Dell Following $6.25B Commitment Toward 25M Children: ‘Two Great People’

• As part of the pledge, the Dells have committed to seed these accounts with $250 each for children aged 10 and under, and those who were born prior to Jan. 1, 2025.
• The Invest America initiative, also known as “Trump accounts”, was created as part of the Trump administration’s “One Big Beautiful Act.”
• As part of the program, the government will seed $1,000 into the Trump accounts of U.S. citizens born on or after Jan. 1, 2025, through 2028.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday praised Michael and Susan Dell after the couple announced a $6.25 billion commitment toward investment accounts of 25 million children.

“TWO GREAT PEOPLE. I LOVE DELL!!!” President Trump said in a post on Truth Social.

The $6.25 billion commitment will seed “Trump accounts” of children who are not eligible for a new federal program that allows parents to open tax-advantaged investment accounts for children under 18 with Social Security Numbers (SSN).

As part of the pledge, the Dells have committed to seed these accounts with $250 each for children aged 10 and under and those born before Jan. 1, 2025.

The federal program will contribute $1,000 to the Trump accounts of U.S. citizens born on or after Jan. 1, 2025, through 2028.

“Susan and I believe the smartest investment we can make is in children. That’s why we’re so excited to contribute $6.25 billion from our charitable funds to help 25 million children start building a strong financial foundation through Invest America,” the Dell Technologies Inc. (DELL) CEO said in a post on X.

Dell shares were up more than 3% in Tuesday’s midday trade. Retail sentiment on Stocktwits around the company trended in the ‘extremely bullish’ territory at the time of writing.
