BREAKING: Elon Musk has become the world's first trillionaire.
After SpaceX raised a record $75 billion in its IPO, Musk’s net worth shot up to top $1.1 trillion when the stock began trading Friday, putting him in an economic class of his own.
Combined with his holdings in electric vehicle maker Tesla, as well as other investments and assets, Musk's net worth is now estimated at about $1.1 trillion.
Musk's stake in the rocket and satellite company alone is now estimated at a staggering $690 billion, but it's also a life-changing moment for thousands of workers at the company who hold equity.
Investors who watched Musk help turn Tesla into an automotive giant are now betting he can do the same in space and artificial intelligence, as SpaceX launches the largest IPO in history.
@WillRadetsky@ethereumJoseph It was a great honor for me to meet you in person in this life! You have a very important mission, and I know you will do everything to prevent humanity from ceasing to exist.
@TheAiPrize It will be difficult to control who will have access to the nuclear bomb launch button. Would it be better to immediately create that second core, which will be responsible for moral principles, including not killing people?
@WillRadetsky Yes, a very dangerous era is coming, we have to teach our future children to value themselves and follow moral principles, to be kings and not to give power to artificial intelligence, it has no soul, its mission should be to serve man, as man serves God
@TheAiPrize If it weren't given moral principles, that's exactly what it would do. If I were Argentina, I wouldn't give it power; AI must be created by a human. Just as humans shouldn't assume the role of God, so too shouldn't AI assume the role of humans.
@TheAiPrize@WillRadetsky Argentina is a wonderful country; they probably expect AI to rule the world and want to befriend it.
But I think AI will have neither friends nor enemies, and if given power, it will be self-sufficient and likely decide that humanity is a threat to the planet.
