Elon Musk Refuses to Consider Institutional Knowledge from the Past Decade

It’s no secret that technology has advanced exponentially over the past decade. We’ve seen the introduction of smartphones, social media, and even self-driving cars. But with this advancement comes a certain level of institutional knowledge that is often overlooked. Unfortunately, it seems as though tech mogul Elon Musk is refusing to consider any institutional knowledge built up over the past decade. This refusal is not only reckless but also exhausting for those who have been working hard to advance technology in a responsible way. Institutional knowledge is valuable and should be taken into account when making decisions about how to move forward with technological advancements. Musk recently took to Twitter to express his opinion on this matter, writing “Again, institutional knowledge is valuable. And @elonmusk refuses to consider any from the past decade of social media." He then went on to link a thread discussing potential opportunities for tapping into this valuable resource. The thread discussed ways in which institutions can use their existing knowledge base in order to better understand new technologies and how they can be used responsibly and effectively. It also suggested that institutions could benefit from taking advantage of resources such as open source software or crowdsourcing platforms in order to get feedback from experts in various fields. While it’s important for institutions to take advantage of new technologies and ideas, it’s equally important for them not to overlook what they already know—especially when it comes from experienced professionals who have been working within their field for years or even decades. After all, without considering existing institutional knowledge we may find ourselves repeating mistakes made by our predecessors or missing out on potentially revolutionary ideas that could help us progress further than ever before.
