What makes you think that?
He worked at one of the most user-hostile companies on the planet for a decade, and only left because he wasn't happy with its operating efficiency.
Someone with that mentality might make technological progress on their own, but I'm not confident that they value morals and human safety over technology. His dismissive comments about AGI safety are certainly a concern.
