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 Solar City.
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.

I saw that movie dubbed in Japanese (which I don’t know) so I didn’t really pay much to the dialog.
He thinks Musk’s vision for going to Mars “to back up humanity”.
Proof that rubber rooms will never be empty.
What’s your point? Elon Musk is African-American.
RE: What’s your point? Elon Musk is African-American.
As if you didn’t know, in America, most people think in terms of RACE not in terms of country of origin.
It's Tony Stark. Singular. AKA Ironman.
Elon Musk along with Tesla Motors has truly grown into an intense leftist cult.
If people were really concerned about the world's population, they'd be pushing more for bringing prosperity to the world. Of course, this also means you'll be bringing freedom, capitalism, and the rule of law to the world, because that's where prosperity begins. We've seen on a global basis, that where people are prosperous, they also tend to have less children.
Of course, the dirty secret is that it's not the number of people on the planet that really concerns these modern-day eugenicists, it's the proliferation of those people, mainly colored folk, that they really want to limit.
I agree with Larry Page. I would rather have my money used for colonizing Mars, instead of wasting money on SubSaharan African children. They can solve their children starvation problem by ceasing their reproduction.
