Elon Musk on who should control his companies in the future: It's a tough question. I want to make sure that the stewardship ultimately accrues to the benefit of humanity.
“Succession is one of the toughest age-old problems. It's plagued countries, kings, prime ministers and presidents, and CEOs, since the dawn of history. There is no obvious solution.
There are particular individuals I've identified. I've told the board, if something happens to me unexpectedly, this is my recommendation for taking over. In all cases the board is aware of who my recommendation is. They may choose to go a different direction, but in a worst case scenario, this is who should run the company.
The control question is a much tougher one, and something I'm wrestling with. I'm frankly open to ideas. It certainly is true that the companies I have created and are creating collectively possess immense capability, and so the stewardship of them is incredibly important. I want to make sure that the stewardship ultimately accrues to the benefit of humanity. That's the idea, the furtherance of civilization. Not that we're always successful in that, but that is aspirationally our goal.”

@slxthkween@_Rileybennet I think we are being deliberately tricked into bad ideas.
People are in filter bubbles, too, where they don't realize certain bad trends are happening.
@slxthkween@USEuroAesthetic I've lived in different areas throughout the country. I noticed some are unhealthy cultures, while others still retained their healthy traditions.
Go where you see more American babies and young kids in public places. If you don't see any, I think it's better to move.

When are you going to work on things Americans fought for
@Ric_RTP Why would the general public root for the survival and thriving of a pernicious gambling company which makes literally everything about betting
