Is there anyway we could contact Musk? I believe there is a nonzero chance that he could have an idea about what to do that has not yet been considered on LW, if for no other reason than he is a very intelligent outsider who seems to reason about everything from first principles.
I don't think that LW is a good vehicle for this. Within MIRI's interview experts series they could ask Musk. People at the head of MIRI or FHI might also reach out directly to Musk.
EY has tweeted to Elon, they're aware of each other. Also Peter Thiel is a major MIRI donor and was a co-founder of PayPal with Elon (and an investor in many of his ventures). I'm pretty sure if EY wanted a backchannel (or a meeting with) Elon it would be easily obtained.
There is a Google+ profile and a @elonmusk Twitter account.
Nice, thanks. I'm willing to do it (I've actually never used G+ or Twitter before...). I would think though if there is a LW user who Musk might have actually heard of, say through the Superintelligence book, then that would be more likely to get a response. In other words, I think if Eliezer Yudkowsky wrote to Elon, that could be a good thing.
Do not spam high-status people. That's a recipe for an ugh field. I'm pretty confident that Elon Musk is capable of navigating this terrain, including finding a competent guide if needed. He's obviously read extensively on the topic, something that’s not possible to do without discovering MIRI and its proponents.
Musk has joined the advisory board of FLI and CSER, which are younger sibling orgs of FHI and MIRI. He's aware of the AI xrisk community.
