I don't know, he seems to be chaotic-neutral. He does the same government contracts Bezos and Gates do. They do highly disruptive technologies (DARPA level) so that the government can get ahead of the game and manage those playing fields before some Joe Shmoe does it from his basement, or China does it causing USA to lose their "world leadership".

People with that much money are probably a liability to society and receive an important "talking to" by a rep from Uncle Sam. You can't just have guys like Soros running around crashing economies, and while Soros does have a lot of financial power, he still has to exercise some regulation. So I believe Musk is part of that same game Soros is part of. They have to answer to the US government at some point. Sure, capitalism means financial freedom and it's a wet dream for the billionaires, but you have to realize they aren't exactly free, they hold much of their wealth in US property and legal tender, which the US government controls.

I think if we're not careful, and we don't start NOW, technology will be our downfall.

People are in love with the "magic" of tech, so it can be sold to them very easily, even if it does nothing to improve their way of life.

The real magic is the work the ancient humans did to imbue us with this consciousness. That didn't require any microarchitecture, advanced laboratory, or capitalist economy. It was a larger feat than all the modern tech combined. So I know we can do better.
