THIS book matches Tesla CEO Elon Musk's philosophy

When the world's richest person, Elon Musk, speaks, the world listens. And his tweets are proof of this! On August 2,2022, the Tesla CEO took to the micro-blogging site Twitter where he shared a tweet about author William MacAskill's new book 'What We Owe The Future'. Recommending the book, Musk wrote, "Worth reading. This is a close match for my philosophy."

According to author MacAskill, his book 'What We Owe The Future' "makes the case for longtermism, the view that positively affecting the long-run future is a key moral priority of our time." The book is published by Basic Books.

Over the year, Musk has spoken about several books which have inspired him and his works. Some of them are 'The Lord of the Rings' by JRR Tolkien, 'Benjamin Franklin' by Isaacson, 'Zero to One' by Peter Thiel, the 'Foundation' series by Isaac Asimov, among others.

Meanwhile on being asked by a Twitter user, Musk revealed that his two-year-old son X Æ A-12 Musk is quite passionate about SpaceX and Mars, compared to his other children. Musk often posts pictures of his son on social media.

On the work front, IANS reported, 'Twitter has now dragged tech investors and entrepreneur friends connected to Elon Musk in the $44 billion takeover deal that has been terminated by the Tesla CEO and a legal trial is set to begin from October 17.'
