I feel like we've read a lot of the same Sci-Fi books... here are some of my favorites that involve augmented intelligence and the possible AI struggles in the future:
True names, the Peace War books, as well as the short story "Bookworm, Run!" by Vernor Vinge.
Old man's war by John Scalzi.
The Heechee Saga by Frederick Pohl.
The Fall Revolution series by Ken MacLeod.
The Virga series by Karl Schroeder.
Musk is playing an active role in the Sci-Non-Fi that we'll all be a part of if we live long enough...
One can't help but to take it seriously considering his other achievements, but I hope he doesn't stretch himself too thin.
- Tesla
- SpaceX
- Boring Co
- Neuralink
- Flamethrower innovator

You are reading to much into random news articles. Detailed breakdown of the Tesla (done for other car companies) actually show that the were incredible innovative and have the highest quality of software, electronics, batteries, electrical engine and so on. All aspect that are way more important then that the panel caps or the plastic covers on your car are perfect.
I don't think he is involved with Neuralink at the same level as Tesla and SpaceX. Those are his primary projects, everything else is a small part.
>Boring Co Seems like no struggles there. Tech is established
>Tesla They scaled it and are out of production hell
> SpaceX Things are going smooth there. They have nailed landings and launches. No immediate fires to address
Looks like Elon have some capacity to focus on other endeavors.
Tech like this is bound to happen at some point in the next... 20, 100, 200 years? Someone’s gotta be first in line as it happens.
