    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.

    What in the hell are people with brain implants going to do when they stop supporting their hardware or keep additional features behind a paywall. People would be forced to pay whatever the company wanted.

    This is ripe for human rights abuse on a level we have never seen before. Imagine being locked out of your own body. Without important safety guards and laws to protect people it would surely cause untold suffering.

      Well, one can design and make and test implants that’ll still work 50 years after there’s no more Elon.

      But! Today’s “progress” is about increasing functionality and performance, not reliability. And such implants will be made only when there’s taboo on unreliable stuff in such critical areas in 3 different dimensions - company getting murdered legally is the first, its management getting murdered physically is the second, nobody in their right mind buying such is the third.

    I have a couple former coworker friends who slob this dude’s knob all the time. One of em is staunch anti-govt (but loves his orange dictator obviously) and refuses flu shots from work every year because according to his this year is the year they start micro-chipping people.

    Both of em would be the first in line for musk’s chip

    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.

    “include streaming music directly to the brain”

    Music is misspelled. It’s ads, not music.

    And anyone stupid enough to get one deserves the brain damage that comes with it. Hell, maybe they’ll then buy Twitter and run it into the ground. Oh wait, some other moron did that.

    Edit> Found the Musk sycophants :)

    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
