I hope he doesn't.
People like Elon can carry the flag of what many of us have been warning about when we point out that our systems often have single points of failures: often one man with, for example, the ability to literally end the world, and no actual safeguards to prevent it. Or, one man with billions of dollars of assets at his disposal, money which could be making people's lives better but is instead being used by that man to do things like buy his favorite website and ruin it. Or, the fact that that website is one of three or four which represent the backbone of our species' communicative ability, and that man can control which of our species' communications are seen.
Whether it's a good or bad person at the helm, this is not how our systems should be designed or function. The more horrible the person, the more obvious this is.

The problem here is the lack of properly open (and FOSS based!) popular communication channels. A committee or safety team can be even worse than one man.
