You get 1 billion but he is your boss till you or him die.
You cannot kill him or hire people to in any way.
Also he can make you work to solve immortality and you have to help.

1 billion can do a lot of good for the world.

If you say no because "elon bad" you're prioritizing your life over the tens (or even hundreds) of thousands of people that you could help.

Doesnt sound bad at all.

But since the definition of work has not been defined... I get to define it.

Work consists of doing whatever I want, wherever I want, to whoever desires it... all at Musk's expense.

And I can demand his presence whenever I want so that I can do whatever I want to him without his objection.

Nope, Elon doesn't get to change the rules he laid out just because he's not screwed by them. Just look at his purchase of Twitter. He tried to change the rules, but failed.

Now Elon... I've defined my work as you skydiving naked into a pool of sharks. Chop-chop, Elon! You demanded I work, so get on that plane!

Why is the onus on me to do the right thing and sign away my life for the right to give away this money, when it should be on this mystery figure handing out billions for the sake of contrived Faustian bargains who could instead donate it directly to charity?

No, what pleases him is hiring me with no specifics about what "work" consists of for me.

So anything I declare as my work pleases him, else he'd have excluded that from the definition of my work.

And if he doesn't like the arrangement (after I've gotten my billion), he can fire me.

I take the money, give some of it to my family and friends, donate a bunch of it to various charities and scientific research funds, then use the last of it to buy a big billboard near his headquarters that says "fuck you Elon" and flip him two middle fingers as I fall off the top of the billboard to my death.

People need to remember that being hired involves a work contract.

And if the contract is vague, it allows not just the employer to do things... but the employee as well. With the only real remedial option being the termination of the contract.

Normally, an employee doesn't want their work contract terminated, because they need the money. But if you're getting a billion dollars upfront, you won't need any more money. So you can fuck around with a vague contract and the only thing the employer can do is...

...fire you.

also he can change his mind about what pleases him that is the nature of what pleases a person

This mysterious figure is already in possession of the 1 billion and isn't using it for good. They would rather use it to essentially enslave a random CE user, which is indicative of their moral compass.

Redefine work maybe but if you can redefine what pleases means at that point you're just changing the premise. You can redefine Allen Elon musk as a chair and redefine working for as sitting in it and declare you want the money cuz you sat down.
