According to sources close to the technological tycoon, Musk is silently looking for some of the brightest women in the world. But here is the turn: it is not for Tesla, Spacex, Neuralink or any other corporate project.
It is personal. It is philosophical. And it could be the most ambitious thing you have tried.
While the details are still scarce, what Little has leaked has lit a storm of speculation in social networks, technological forums and even academic circles. People ask the same questions: why women? Why now? And what really means Musk when he says he wants to “shape the future of humanity”?
A global call that occurred without prior notice
The story began with a cryptic publication in X (previously Twitter), where Musk simply wrote:
“The future belongs to those who create it. Looking for minds that help shape what follows. Especially brilliant women.”
The publication was vague, and no link or application form was included. However, in a matter of hours, the answers were flooded: of scientists, engineers, activists and curious spectators who wonder if it was a work publication, a recruitment campaign or something completely different.
Then the whispers came.
Multiple reports of experts claim that the Musk team has been arriving privately to select women in multiple fields: AI research, astrophysics, sustainable and even bioethical agriculture. These are not typical hiring for a business role: they are leaders of thoughts, innovative and, in some cases, open voices about society and future ethics.
But the salary is not mentioned, there is no company name, or a clear objective.
The only thing that all recipients have in common is this: they were told that Elon is “assembling a visionary cohort oriented to the future”, and they are asked to join.
More than a group of experts?
Speculation is increasing that Musk can be forming a kind of group of experts outside the network, or perhaps even more radical. Some suggest that it could be the basis of a new long-term civilization project, linked to its ambitions for the colonization of Mars or the future of the ai-human coexistence.
Others, however, have taken a different angle.
“What happens if this is not a professional effort?” An anonymous technology executive asked. “What happens if you are thinking about something deeply personal, like who can build the next generation of humanity, literally?”
That comment was probably understood as a metaphor. But he hit an online nerve. In a matter of hours, #Elonfuturemoters began trend in X, half sarcastic, half speculative.
Musk, meanwhile, has not denied or clarified the rumors.
Musk thought out of the box and out of the planet
This would not be the first time that Elon Musk approaches great questions with unorthodox strategies.
His belief in populating Mars is not science fiction: the Spacex ship ship project is actively preparing for the interplanetary flight. Their investments in Neuralink are not simply for commercial gains: it is about merging humans and machines to avoid future threats of AI. And his recent comments on birth rates and the collapse of the population show that he is thinking not only decades ahead, but centuries.
In 2022, Musk tweeted:
“If there are not enough people, humanity will collapse. Mark my words.”
He has also publicly spoken about the need for “intelligent, brave and morally solid” individuals to administer the next phase of civilization, especially as AI and spatial colonization are closer to reality.
Given that context, Musk’s new call for brilliant women does not seem so random after all. In fact, it can be part of a calculated step towards the construction of what has often described as“A multiparitarian future, driven by the purpose.”
But the lack of transparency is what is making people nervous, or is very curious.
Critics raise eyebrows and ethical questions
Not everyone applaud.
Some critics argue that Musk’s approach is disturbingly vague and questions why he is highlighting women for an unidentified mission. Is it empowerment or exploitation? Visionary or voyeurist?
“Women in Stem already face systemic bias,” wrote an academic in X. “This type of hacking of a powerful man with unclear intentions is worrying in the best case.”
Others concern that the initiative, whatever, can be designed to promote a specific ideological or genetic vision of the future, especially given the previous comments of Musk about population engineering and human optimization.
Even so, many women have expressed a real emotion for the opportunity.
“If Elon Musk wants to gather the best female minds in the world and listen, I am inside,” said a Biotechnology researcher in Australia who, according to reports, received one of the mysterious emails. “The only way the future improves is whether more women help design it.”
The general panorama: Who shapes tomorrow?
What makes this story so convincing is not just secret or speculation, it is the underlying question:Who can shape the future of humanity?
Elon Musk has always positioned himself as someone willing to assume responsibility for that question: to solve problems that others will not touch. But even for Musk, this is a new bold border.
The line between vision and arrogance is always thin. And when someone with their resources and global influence begins to assemble “brilliant women” for an unleashed purpose, the world takes note.
For now, we don’t know what the “hunting is really about. Is it a new base? A Mars initiative? A genetic research project? A documentary? A legacy?
But one thing is safe: when Elon Musk shuts up, the world speaks stronger.
