Unfortunately the man has deluded himself into thinking he’s the savior of humanity.

He thinks AI is bad for humanity, but not if he controls it.

This is in the same vein that he thinks censorship is the worst thing ever unless he is the one doing the censoring.

It’s just sad that his ultimate goal for humanity is letting Grimes’ children live on a Mars space station while Earth is destroyed.

He constantly uses his grand plan as justification for why he should get to hoard obscene amounts of cash .. instead of paying taxes and contributing to the health of the society we currently live in.

Just as it isn’t inconsistent that Ron Paul put in “earmarks” for his constituents, while simultaneously voting against them all — it isn’t inconsistent for Elon to say “slow down” while accelerating AI R&D.

Any company/nation hobbling their AI programs will be lethally impaired in defence & commerce.
