Agree with we should reach out to him & the community is connected enough to do so. If he’s concerned about AI risk but either being misguided or doing harm (see e.g. here/here and here), then someone should just… talk to him about it? The richest man in the world can do a lot either way. (Especially someone as addicted to launching things as him, who knows what detrimental thing he might do next if we’re not more proactive.)
I get the impression the folks at FLI are closest to him so maybe they are the best ones to do that.
I’m aware. I’m just saying a new effort is still needed because his thoughts on alignment/AI risk are still clearly very misguided listening to all his recent public comments on the topic and what he’s trying to do with Neuralink etc. so someone really needs to reach out and set him straight.

I believe people have spoken to him. For one thing, he was on a panel at EAG 2015.
