Should TikTok be banned?
Elon Musk strongly disagrees and says:
In my opinion, TikTok should not be banned in the USA, even though such a ban may benefit the 𝕏 platform. Doing so would be contrary to freedom of speech and expression. It is not what America stands for. source Unverified -
Should we all participate in shaping the future of AI and the post-artificial general intelligence era?
Elon Musk strongly agrees and says:
The least bad solution to the AGI control problem that I can think of is to give every verified human a vote. source Unverified -
Should we use electronic voting machines?
Elon Musk strongly disagrees and says:
We should eliminate electronic voting machines. The risk of being hacked by humans or AI, while small, is still too high. source Unverified -
Should we have a universal basic income?
Elon Musk agrees and says:
I think we'll end up doing universal basic income. It's going to be necessary. source Unverified -
Should laws have expiration dates?
Elon Musk agrees and says:
Yeah. So, yeah, something needs to happen, or civilization’s arteries just harden over time. And you can just get less and less done because there’s just a rule against everything. So I think, I don’t know, for Mars, or whatever, I’d say, or even for here, obviously, for Earth as well, I think there should be an active process for removing rules and regulations and questioning their existence. If we’ve got a function for creating rules and regulations, because rules and regulations can also think of as like… they’re like software or lines of code for operating civilization. That’s the rules and regulations. So it’s not like we shouldn’t have rules and regulations, but you have a code accumulation, but no code removal. And so it just gets to become basically archaic bloatware after a while. It makes it hard for things to progress. So, I don’t know, maybe on Mars, you’d have, like, any given law must have a sunset and require active voting to keep it up there. I should also say, like — and these are just, I don’t know, recommendations or thoughts, and ultimately it will be up to the people on Mars to decide — but I think it should be easier to remove a law than to add one, just to overcome the inertia of laws. So maybe it’s like, for argument’s sake, you need like, say, 60% vote to have a law take effect, but only 40% vote to remove it. (2021) source Unverified -
Should humanity ban the development of superintelligence until there is broad scientific consensus that it will be done safely and controllably and strong public buy-in?
Elon Musk agrees and says:
If I could put a pause on AI or really advanced AI, superintelligence, I would. It doesn’t seem that is realistic. (2023) source Unverified
