Page didn't point to traditional charitable foundations or heirs when asked about his thoughts on legacy and philanthropy. Instead, he floated the idea of leaving his wealth to Elon Musk, the tech visionary behind Tesla and SpaceX.\nPage's reasoning? Musk's bold mission to colonize Mars and \"back up humanity.\" In the interview, Rose referenced past comments Page had made about this idea, asking for clarification. \nDon't Miss:\n\nCan you guess how many retire with a $5,000,000 nest egg? The percentage may shock you.\nThe global games market is projected to generate $272B by the end of the year — for $0.55/share, this VC-backed startup with a 7M+ userbase gives investors easy access to this asset market.\n\nAccording to the transcript on the Charlie Rose site, Rose said: \"You once said – actually, I think I've got this about right – that you might consider, rather than giving your money to a cause, simply giving it to Elon Musk because you had confidence he would change the future.\"\nLarry Page replied: \"He actually wanted to go to Mars – he wants to go to Mars to back up humanity.\" He elaborated, \"It's a company and it's philanthropical. So I think, you know, we aim to do kind of similar things.\"\nPage then shifted focus to Google's culture of innovation, adding, \"We have a lot of employees at Google who've become pretty wealthy ... A lot of people in there are pretty wealthy. You're working because you want to change the world and you want to make it better. So why isn't the company they work for worthy not just of your time, but your money as well?\"\nFor Page, Musk's ambitious goals aligned with his belief that companies, when run effectively, could drive revolutionary change. He elaborated, saying, \"Lots of companies don't succeed over time. They usually miss the future ... I try to focus on that: What is the future really going to be? And how do we create it?\"\nSee Also: ‘Scrolling to UBI': Deloitte's #1 fastest-growing software company allows users to earn money on their phones – invest today with $1,000 for just $0.26/share\nPage and Musk once shared a close friendship. Musk frequently stayed at Page's house during visits to Silicon Valley and their shared passion for pushing technological boundaries made them natural allies. Their camaraderie landed them on Fortune's 2016 list of \"Business Leaders You Didn't Know Were BFFs.\" \nMusk even attempted to sell Tesla to Google for $11 billion, according to Ashlee Vance’s biography, “Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX and the Quest for a Fantastic Future.” The two friends actually both agreed to the deal via handshake, but called it off once Tesla \"no longer needed a savior.\"\nHowever, their relationship reportedly soured around 2013. Musk's growing concerns about the dangers of artificial intelligence clashed with Page's more optimistic outlook. At Musk's birthday party that year, the two had a heated debate about AI. Page allegedly called Musk a \"speciesist\" for prioritizing human interests over other forms of intelligence.\nTrending: This rooftop wind turbine is taking on a market projected to reach over $900 billion by 2032 — With already over 40,000 users signing up to purchase, here's a chance to be an early investor today!\nThe tension grew after Musk cofounded OpenAI, a nonprofit ensuring AI safety, which was seen as a direct challenge to Google, which had acquired DeepMind, a leading AI company. Musk even tried to dissuade DeepMind's CEO from selling to Google, further straining their relationship.\nBut despite their falling out, Musk has recently desired to mend fences. In a 2023 podcast with Lex Fridman, Musk said, \"I would like to be friends again with Larry. I haven't seen him in ages. We were friends for a very long time.\" However, he acknowledged that Page might not feel the same, noting, \"He doesn't want to talk to me anymore.\"\nLarry Page's 2014 remarks about leaving his fortune to Elon Musk reflect his belief that revolutionary change outweighs incremental progress. While the future of their friendship remains uncertain, both Page and Musk continue to be key players in shaping the future of technology – and maybe even humanity.\nRead Next:\n\nStudies show 50% of consumers think Financial Advisors cost much more than they do — to debunk this, this company provides matching for free and a complimentary first call with the matched advisor.\nDeloitte's fastest-growing software company partners with Amazon, Walmart & Target – You can still get 4,000 of its pre-IPO shares for with $1,000 for just $0.26/share\n\nUp Next: Transform your trading with Benzinga Edge's one-of-a-kind market trade ideas and tools.
