    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.

      Let’s not forget an important distinction here. This man is not making any of these things, and he isn’t capable of making them. But, he is capable of directly and indirectly impacting the people who are capable of making them negatively enough that we get utter failures like the cybertruck.

      Don’t give him more credit than he deserves.

      Why are you saying “No, thanks, but no” when you could be saying “FUCK NO! GET OUTTA HERE WITH THE GARBAGE!”

      You can even add a jersy accient if you want to be extra fun in your telling elon to fuck off.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

      Even better way to enslave people than tying basic things like food, water and shelter to money and controlling how to get money. You will have to pay anything you are told or you will die and/or suffer. Try to rebel in any way and its kill or pain switch for you or refusal of service if its too early for that.

      Its scary how this doesnt sound as crazy as it should

    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.
