The benefit and knowledge will go where, and how, Elon Musk decides it should go. It is his. He's the one who decided to do this incredibly significant thing with his billions, so the fruits of his labours are his. And that is morally right, he has proved himself deserving of this, by achieving it.

I dislike left-wingers' insistence that politicians are the sort of people to whom we ought to give such decision making powers.In my view, such career politicians are a bunch of second hand car salesmen, the slimiest and most ruthless of which gets to the top. I can't think of a worse system to be honest. I can't wait for the day when the entire professional political class is disintermediated. Personally I'd much rather a good hearted, driven "doer" like Elon Musk was in charge of such things, than a load of "elected" politicians in thrall to donors, and their own political careers.
