Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has sought Elon Musk’s guidance on the existential threat posed by artificial intelligence, hinting that the tech billionaire is more powerful than the US president.
“I said to my wife Sara, ‘this guy really knows what he’s talking about’, I said ‘he’s the Edison of our time’,” Prime Minister Netanyahu said during a discussion with Mr Musk on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Monday.
“You can’t be president of the US last time I checked, but assume you are.”
The tech billionaire, who is currently the world’s richest person, interjected: “Not officially.”
President Netanyahu responded: “Not officially. OK, so you’re the unofficial president.”
