Yea, that could be the case, although I assume having Elon Musk sign could have generated 2x the publicity. Most news outlets seem to jump on everything he does.
Not sure what the tradeoff between attention and controversy is for such a statement.

That’s where my thoughts went, maybe he and/​or CAIS thought that the statement would have a higher impact if reporting focuses on other signatories. That Musk thinks AI is an x-risk seems fairly public knowledge anyways, so there’s no big gain here.
I reckon there’s a pretty good chance he didn’t sign because he wasn’t asked, because he’s a controversial figure.
