The Realistish Numbers
- Perhaps 50-100 billion of capex annually across Tesla, xAI, and SpaceX [1]
- If he's up to $100 billion in capex, what is his payroll and number of employees across all companies? $10-20B, so perhaps 1/2-1/4 of Capex [2]
Countermeasures
Is such and similar concentration good? Let's zoom out.
Closed innovation concentrates knowledge, capital, and decision-making within proprietary institutions, enabling short-term coordination efficiency but ultimately constraining civilization-scale innovation through fragmentation, duplicated effort, artificial scarcity, and restricted participation; open innovation, by contrast, treats knowledge as a shared regenerative commons in which information flows openly while execution remains competitively distributed, enabling parallel experimentation, rapid cumulative learning, interoperable production ecosystems, and market-driven implementation excellence that together dramatically increase the long-term rate, resilience, and inclusiveness of technological and societal advancement.
