THE FUSE

Here’s a thought. Elon Musk’s trillion-dollar-plus paper fortune (and the leverage it brings) will be allocated to noble and altruistic projects. He will do the allocating; it will not be contracted out. He will not be allocating capital to increase his wealth (his pursuit of wealth is probably no longer an interesting goal for him, having well and truly climbed that mountain). He will be allocating his wealth in pursuit of what he sees as a better world for all. He will be history’s greatest philanthropist.
