    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.

      After COVID we have to retire “avoid like the plague”. Too many people were happy to go to plague gatherings.

        I also avoid the types of people who would intentionally do something that idiotic.

        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.

      What is really scary to me is that many people dont see billionaires as they are, especially since they want to be rich themselves and likely look up to them like some twisted rolemodels.

      Ultimately, we are at the mercy of the masses and those masses are somewhat controlled by few people. If somehow people want to start using those implants, those who dont want to will be pressured to get one too.
