If you had to describe Elon Musk in just one word, “special” would be the perfect word. He wants to be special, and he wants people to perceive him that way: as the visionary who initiated the revolution in sustainable passenger transport with the electric car manufacturer Tesla. Who has permanently changed space travel with recyclable rockets from his company Space-X. Who is both an opportunity spotter and voice of reason when it comes to artificial intelligence. He is not afraid to be controversial, which he has proven almost every day on the social network since he bought Twitter (now X). The best description probably comes from Sam Altman, head of the AI company Open AI: “He really wants to save the world – but only if he’s the one to save it.”
