Elon Musk signed the letter -- I assume because he needs time to catch up.

Elon Musk is a glorified salesman who was in the right place at the right time when tech took off, and having oligarch blood in his veins helped him be there.

Now he's a founder because he bought the title of founder.

Hate to break it to ya but the letter is most likely fake. Yann LeCun was on there and he said he had no idea what it was and didn't sign it.

Edit: Don't listen to me this is probably wrong.

Musk is on the advisory board of the Future of Life Institute and is the primary donor.

Hmmm...

Well, I guess that's why you check your sources folks! I was fed bad info, thanks for correcting me.

The letter definitely isn’t fake, but a lot of the signatures are

Yeah I guess that's what I was trying to say initially but I did a poor job lol. Didn't know that it comes from a somewhat credible organization though. At first I thought it was just posted on a random website.

I mean, given that John Wick and Sarah Connor also signed that letter…
