Should not update our beliefs much. Musk is a smart guy, he has access to roughly the same information as we do, and his interpretation of that information is that the danger is enough to justify him in spending millions on it. But not, e.g., enough for him to drop everything else and dedicate his life to trying to solve it.

I think most of us should adjust our beliefs about the danger either up or down a little in response to that.
