    Okay, but I’m not putting anything in my body if it belongs to Elon Musk.

    I’m planning to get one as soon as I find out Elon has one. Probably like version 3 or something.

    The ape tests are not new… I was listening to neuro scientist around ten years ago in Berlin doing the same stuff. Less resolution, though. Gedankenforscher.

    There’s so such thing as “hack proof” someone determined enough to crack it, will.
    Because of that, I say “no thanks”.

    One thing I know is no chip is going into my head. Period.

      Yes it will, everyone will get one. If everyone else is walking around with an IQ of 500 and you’re out there trying to engage with people with an IQ of 160 or less you won’t be relatable. You’ll have to shift with society or you will literally die. You won’t have the intelligence to fund your existence or you will have to rely on others with the chip to support you.

      @N O Sure pal, we’ll see how that goes lol

    This is the real gateway to the metaverse in the future. Don’t be fooled by those silly glasses you see META using. That’s just part of the development. The neuralink is what will take up into the metaverse!

    Elon is evil. He plans to merge humans with Ay-Eye using his Neuralink brain ch*p in conjunction with the Starlink satellites. Stop supporting Elon and tesla. They are the beginning of ant*chr*st.

    This has been a reality. They like to play like they are developing new technology 🤣. Technology is way more advanced than what the government has revealed and it’s sad the direction this world is going.

    Neuralink will never work. Another fail Tech, sorry Elon but, you’re not God to predict the future I’m not either.

    I would volunteer. It could probably help millions of people with the same brain disease as me. I would love to have it in my head. I would literally spend half the time trying to hack it myself.

    Chip or no chip?
    -No governments involvement in control of population to make it mandatory
    -chip doesn’t have explosive trigger
    -monitor and track privacy
    -no mine control
    -hacked and turn into a zombie
    -Big competition with medicine industries
    -vehicles and device no longer need remote or steering wheels, and everything’s working on the way you control through your mind..
    Chip or no chip?

    Brain chip: If it can stop Spike biting people, make him realise he’s in love with Buffy, and say, “No you don’t…but thanks for saying it,” before seeing how it all ends … then I’m okay with this. All other uses … no. Although saying that, that monkey dude is getting pretty good at Pong.🤔

    The problems begin when people start to play God. The new generation cars sound good, but upgrading the human’s brain, I would rather skip this part of the world experiment. I am happy with what I got🤯. It would be good to invest & treat sick, instead of trying to adjust healthy brains. What is wrong with what we have??

      it will change how the human live its life when perfected tho

    I definitely wouldn’t trust elon musk (or really anyone) with putting a chip in my brain, but it will still be fun to see how far it goes.

    ELON TWITTLER should start on himself first.

    Why would you publish this, the DAY before Neuralink yearly announcements

  62. Lee Marc

    November 30, 2022 at 8:59 pm

    I’ve got a theory……Elon buys Twitter – which is basically the collective consciousness of the world – to ultimately interface humans via Neuro-Link to the internet.

    Elon gonna be used as puppet bij the illumunati, because of have to believe the commends, he is the only one people trust with such creepy things..

    This definitely was a factor in the twitter acquisition.
