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.”

De @Tesla community houdt hier al geruime tijd de vinger aan de pols over de toelating voor de FSD-technologie op onze Vlaamse en Belgische wegen.
Uit waardering voor jullie niet-aflatende interesse (en aanmoediging 😉), krijgen jullie hierbij de primeur: ik heb net de toelating getekend! 🚘
Deze beslissing gaat nu naar onze dienst homologatie, zij zullen @RDWnl op de hoogte brengen van de goedkeuring. Vlaanderen omarmt innovatie!
Tesla AI chip design engineering reviews are so great! Team is awesome.
Our AI6 chip might set a record for most amount of usable intelligence from a wafer when factoring in yield.
Personal update: I've joined Anthropic. I think the next few years at the frontier of LLMs will be especially formative. I am very excited to join the team here and get back to R&D. I remain deeply passionate about education and plan to resume my work on it in time.
