Recently, an AI advocacy group called "America Responsible Innovation" (ARI) launched a petition calling on President-elect Trump to appoint Elon Musk as special adviser to artificial intelligence at the White House. The petition emphasizes Musk's contribution to artificial intelligence security and technological development, and believes that while promoting technological progress, he also attaches importance to AI security. The petition believes that at a time when AI technology is developing rapidly, the United States should lead the world under the premise of safety and control, and Musk is the only candidate to lead the Trump administration to achieve leadership in the field of AI.

The petition points out that with the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, the United States should lead the world under the premise of security and controllability. "No one is more suitable to help the Trump administration achieve leadership in the field of artificial intelligence than Elon Musk." Musk not only made achievements in the business world, but also as a thought leader, he also proposed artificial intelligence. The importance of safety and addressing potential survival and disaster risks.
The petition also mentioned that Musk recently called on regulators to monitor the activities of large tech companies in the field of artificial intelligence and believed that appropriate mechanisms should be established in dealing with conflicts of interest. In addition, Musk's participation will be of great help to the Trump administration's response to the development of this transformative technology.
Musk is a CEO of Tesla and the leader of xAI, an artificial intelligence startup founded in 2023. He has a personal participation in the AI revolution. He has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, accusing the company of breaching its original mission and turning to for-profit operations.
In addition, Musk also supports a California bill that requires companies that invest more than $100 million in developing artificial intelligence models to conduct security testing and cyberattack protection. However, the bill was eventually rejected by California Governor Newsom because its designs are primarily aimed at large AI development companies, while models of smaller companies may also pose higher risks.
Musk also called on Trump to create a "government efficiency ministry" that aims to find and eliminate wasteful federal spending and expressed his willingness to take on the role of advancing the work. Trump said before the election that if he was successfully elected, he would consider letting Musk lead the department.
However, Musk's high-intensity participation in various businesses has attracted investors' attention, which may affect his performance. Tesla investors have objected to Musk's $56 billion compensation package, believing he was distracted in other matters and unable to perform his duties effectively. Still, Tesla shareholders voted to resume the compensation package this summer, although the case is still under trial.
