Dude can't build cars that don't fall apart when they get wet, and can't build a truck that doesn't fall apart for uh, existing, and we're supposed to let him stick stuff in our brains?

No, thanks, but no.

He should be an example and do it himself.

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.

Well I’d like to implant my foot in his ass so….

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

If he doesn’t go first no nation should allow it. Dude is a fraud.

Elon can go first.

Let's give him a chip and watch for the next 5+ years how it goes, then decide how to go on.

Another weird thing that Conservatives want to do.

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.

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.

Of...course he does? Maybe with an evil laugh?

Musk is essentially as close to a supervillain as IRL gets.

I really don't understand why anyone is giving that goofball a platform.

They're injecting microchips! Said no antivaxx about this ever.

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.

And millions of people want Elon Musk to get one himself.

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

The thing he seems to have forgotten is that unlike the automotive industry where the regulation is designed to allow companies to fuck up then fix things as long as they have the systems in place to fix the fuck up and to know when they fucked up, the medical device industry is very much designed so that the default stance is "this is dangerous and will kill people" unless you can prove otherwise

It would probably be wiser to implant a bullet in your brain then let that man do neurosurgery on you.

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?

New YA dystopian fiction plot entering reality.

I have seen the engineering failure that is the cybertruck, no thanks.

Elon musk: is inventing brain chips

People: oh okay.

Elon musk: wants people to use them

People:

Cool, he can want whatever he wants, but I'm certainly not going to be one of them.

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 :)

Fuuuuuuckk no.

"include streaming music directly to the brain"

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