Elon Emails

Yes--I think an independent 501c3 is correct. Are you ok if, initially, it shares a building with YC and YC helps with legal stuff etc? I think that will save us a few months while we hire dedicated people. I like the idea of defaulting to a cash bonus that stacks each year--I'd independently come to that same conclusion after talking to Greg yesterday. Offering them the option to convert it to SpaceX or YC stock sounds great to me. Making Tesla data available would be incredible. I think most YC companies will offer to do the same. Freemind seems pretty good to me but I'd to keep thinking--it may be a little too close to Deepmind. I really like the word free here thought--freethink? freemerge? Best idea I've had so far is Axon, which I think we could get .com for from TPG-Axon. Intelligence.com looks getable, but perhaps too generic. I'll keep thinking. Half a day per week sounds awesome. I assume that if gets to the point where AGI looks like it's about to happen, you and I will both find a way to spend a lot of time on it. And if it seems further off, then I expect you'll be very busy getting to Mars. Have you given any thought to how you want to describe you involvement? I'm fine with anything from "advisor" to "co-CEO" but think it's probably good to have a clear answer.
