Elon Musk in 2015

Elon Musk is a entrepreneur known for many projects including co-founding Paypal with Peter Thiel. He is also known for his current projects; Tesla Motors, SolarCity, OpenAI and SpaceX.

According to David Pearce, in 2015 Musk was ambivalent towards the idea of transhumanism.[1] When however in June 2016 he started advocating neural enhancement, it's fair to describe him as a de facto transhumanist.[2]

In 2016 he was invited to join Trump's economic advisory team.[3]
