    The only dipshits stupid enough to get Musk implants will be the same dipshits who think vaccines have mind-control trackers.

    Why can this loser fart in an elevator and it warrants an article?

    And why are so many engaged to the point, including government, that they will listen to that? Like abandoning highspeed rail in favor of hyperloop?

    Like what the fuck is going on?

      They wanted to do that and he gave them the excuse.

      See, that’s how this works.

    He should be an example and do it himself.

    I bet this evil fuck has all kinds of patents around this idea so when someone who isn’t a psychopath James Bond villain wants to help people with disabilities by developing a similar device…they won’t be able to.

    Day 1 after implantation: this is great! I now have photographic memory of everything! Best decision ever.

    Day 20: I’ve memorized so much so fast, I’m going to have to go for the next higher up subscription level to unlock more storage.

    Day 200: I’m running out of space again. Going for the plus subscription.

    Day 600: ran out of storage space again. I can’t afford the next higher subscription. I’m going to have to start deleting unnecessary memories. My brain has lost its natural ability to make and retain memories by itself. I can’t even function on a daily basis without free storage space.

    Day 700: I have run out of memories that I’m willing to part away with. I still can’t afford the higher subscription. Luckily there is a cheaper tier. All I have to do is give NeuraLink full access and rights over my memories for marketing and AI training purposes.

    Day 900: They have increased the cost of subscription. I can’t afford it. I’m going to lose half of my storage space. I have two days to choose which of my memories to keep. The rest will be no longer accessible to me, but will still be used by Neuralink for their own purposes as they own those memories now.

    Day 1200: the chip will no longer be supported next month. I can’t afford the new model. It will be disabled in 30 days.

    Day 1235: I have just found this diary. It explains a lot. I only wished it told me what my name is.

    Musk wanting it is more than enough reason for me to want to avoid it like the plague.

    Not that I would want any sort of brain implant anyway, but Musk being involved make it even less desirable than it already was.

        To be fair, I don’t think he was really involved in the development of that thing other than the original idea maybe. But, to be fair, that original idea was probably even worse than the finished product.

    With his ethics there’s no way I’d let any company controlled by him attach itself to my brain.

    I have a hard time imagining that for any profit driven corporation, but most especially him.

    Godspeed to all the brain dead idiots who will sign up for this, and will become even more literally brain dead after getting the implant.

    Elon wants to make more money. One of the ways he can envision making more money is selling brain implants and the procedure to install them
