ELON TALKS SUCCESSION AS HE WEIGHS WHO WILL STEER HUMANITY’S BEST SHOT TO EVOLVE “Succession is one of the toughest age-old problems. It’s plagued countries, kings, prime ministers, and CEOs since the dawn of history. There is no obvious solution. I’ve told the board, look, if something happens to me unexpectedly, this is my recommendation for taking over. The board is aware of who that is, they may choose to go a different direction, but there’s a plan. The control question is much tougher, and it’s something I’m wrestling with. The companies I’ve created possess immense capability, and the stewardship of them is incredibly important. I want to make sure that stewardship ultimately accrues to the benefit of humanity.” It’s a rare glimpse of Elon thinking long-term, not about rockets or AI, but legacy and the responsibility that comes with building the future.
