The 'whole techno-futurism stuff' that Musk focuses on is more of a reflection of the narrow set of problems which are defined well enough to be solved by investing adequate capital; because they're mostly dependent on technological development. Poverty and corruption are less 'solvable' problems, and capital investments in those areas often don't make any clear progress. Musk is actually solving poverty about as well as any capitalist- he's developing novel industries and creating jobs. That said, I'd be seriously impressed if there's any clear solution that a billionaire could impose on 'corruption'.
