Musk might have sold out to the bad players when he was going through financial trouble, in exchange for money and to save his companies.
"In 2008 and 2009, Musk was borrowing money to pay his rent… In 2008, Musk’s rocket company was nearly bankrupt. It was reportedly a $1.6 billion NASA contract that saved the company…
Tesla nearly ran out of money in 2009, but was saved by a $50 million injection from Daimler… And in early 2013, Tesla nearly went broke again… and Musk was hammering out a deal to sell the company to Google for about $6 billion"

He spends $10million/month on an organization dedicated to making sure AI does not become "evil." Maybe like Google's original slogan was Do No Evil. futureoflife.org/team/
Tenuous but interesting: Elon named his spaceship "Dragon" after the Puff the Magic Dragon song, whose lines include "A dragon lives forever, but not so little boys"
