Elon Musk refuted TIME magazine's cover story featuring his supposed 'to-do list,' clarifying his focus on making life multiplanetary to extend consciousness. He denied giving any interviews for the piece and stated the list wasn't his.
Billionaire Elon Musk on Thursday responded to his "to-do list" featured on the cover of TIME magazine and said it was not his checklist. Musk claimed to be "trying to make life multiplanetary to maximize the potential lifespan of consciousness" while running the social media network X (previously Twitter).
The December issue of TIME magazine featured a picture of the 53-year-old tech billionaire with the headline, "Citizen Musk: What's next on his to-do list?" The list included accomplishments like "Electric Vehicles," "Become richest man," "Buy Twitter," "Launch rocket," "Bring rocket back," "Implant human brain chip," "Get Trump elected," and "Work from Mar-a-Lago." "Fly to Mars" and "Slash $2 trillion" were not on the list.
How did Elon Musk react?
"To be clear, I have not done any media interviews and this is not actually my checklist. I am trying to make life multiplanetary to maximize the probable lifespan of consciousness. Some of the items below are needed for that," Musk posted on X.
