Larry Page: I’d Rather Leave My Billions to Elon Musk Than to Charity

http://www.businessinsider.com/larry-pa ... usk-2014-3

Google CEO Larry Page has an unusual idea about what should happen to his billions should he die.
Instead of giving it to a philanthropic organization, he'd rather hand over his cash to Elon Musk, the founder of Tesla, SpaceX, and SolarCity.

In a conversation with Charlie Rose at a TED conference on Wednesday, Page said he wanted his money going to capitalists like Musk — those with big ideas for changing the world — according to a report at Wired.

He thinks Musk's vision for going to Mars "to back up humanity" is inspired. He said, "That’s a company, and that’s philanthropical."

According to some people on Twitter, Page even went as far as to suggest that everyone give their money to a corporation that was trying to accomplish big stuff.

We're not sure if he's being literal or figurative here. There are surprisingly few write-ups of these comments on the Web.

It seems as if he's making a larger point, which is that the right company run by the right person can have a major effect.

Update: Here, via TED, is the transcript of Page talking to Rose:

You are one of those people who believe that corporations are agents of change, if they’re run well.

I’m really dismayed. Most people think corporations are basically evil. They get a bad rap. And that’s somewhat correct, if companies are doing the same incremental things they did 20 years ago. But that’s not really what we need. Especially in tech, we need revolutionary change, not incremental change.

You once said you might consider giving your money to Elon Musk because you had confidence he will change the future.

He wants to go to Mars. That’s a worthy goal. We have a lot of employees at Google who’ve become pretty wealthy. You’re working because you want to change the world and make it better; if the company you work for is worthy of your time, why not your money as well? We just don’t think about that. I’d like for us to help out more than we are.

Também já li por várias vezes, que se está a equacionar colocar o sistema da google (android) nos tesla, se as parcerias começarem, é possível que aconteçam algumas alterações a esse nível.

Com os carros que conduzem sozinhos do Google e a tecnologia e fabricas da Tesla, depois só falta um relógio para dizer "Kitt vem-me buscar"

Ele tem tantas ideias para concretizar que não sei se não passará primeiro pelo hyperloop. Mas claro que ir a marte faz parte.

Depois de ver esse documentário do Musk, acho que devia mesmo fazer a parceria com o Google para o próximo modelo, pois até à data tenho em boa memória as acções e posições do Google para com o mundo, o mesmo não se pode dizer da maior parte das outras empresas grandes no mundo da tecnologia...

Mas o Musk e Google juntos (já são vizinhos) certamente conseguiriam mudar o mundo para melhor a um ritmo mais electrizante.

Aqui fica um pequeno video (~12mins) com alguns projectos do Google:

Cheira-me a Apple interessada...

Já houve reuniões com executivos da Apple responsáveis pelas aquisições, até suspeito se não haverá algum pré-acordo.

Apple no seu novo iOS8 colocou as acções da Tesla como default.

Nunca digas nunca...

Com esta partiu a louça toda.

Será que agora vão parar de ameaçar os clientes que andam a mexer nos computadores do carro com processos de espionagem industrial?
Essa é que eu e o homem que foi ameaçado gostávamos de saber...

Vocês estão a ver bem a coisa?
Ele não se refere apenas aos carregadores rápidos?
Não se trata da rentabilização dos "fast chargers" apenas?
