When I saw this in another thread, I quickly passed it over as just Musk doing his "TO MARS! FOR THE GOOD OF HUMANITY!" future-bullshit.

The neuralink scam is great because even if they managed to actually fully interface the circuits with the brain, what good would a computer be that would fit in the skull and would have minimal power/heat requirements? At best you'd be risking your health with a surgery and implant to have... a lovely smartphone built in?

I'm not even anti transhumanist, it's just that elon is cribbing a device from a Sci fi series because it sounds cool. It's a giant dead end. The research into giving blind people sight or deaf people hearing is far more valuable than whatever elon is trying

I read something about how this investment would be far better spent on advancing cochlear implants, something that already works well just needs more miniaturization and easier ways to interface it to the person.

I am in part because of Silicon Valley dickbags like Musk, who smugly think that getting lucky at being in the right place at the right time with social media, and starting off with more money than sense, makes them uniquely qualified to Save Humanity with their stupid bullshit. I don't trust any of them or their magic solutions.

But that's probably a subject for another thread entirely. Getting back to Elmo, it's pretty obvious that he's too lazy and dumb to work on something that might actually have potential. He wants the appearance of being a visionary without actually doing any of the important work.

also I always want to know what Musk and his muskrats would even do on Mars that they cant do one earth or other near by space (orbit or moon)? like there's several news articles about rear end in a top hat tesla drivers driving into national parks, driving off trail / damaging poo poo and then getting struck and needing rescue all because they wanting to watch porn or binge watch netflix

Nope. And you can fit a lot more bodies on a rocket ship if you don't need to include oxygen/water/food for them as well. The martian graveyard strategy is a very elegant solution for "populating" mars, I think we can all agree.

Without looking up the original I can’t be sure but I think you’re right. Also I don’t think you have to be a Musk level genius to figure out the symbolism behind it which makes it even funnier.

Like everything Elon talks about he can string out Neuralink coming to market for the next 25 years without apparently losing any credibility. He'll just blame regulatory restrictions, the radical left, or something and people by and large will swallow it. He's said Teslas will come and pick you up and drive you home "this year" since like 2017 or something.

Maybe. He's supposedly lost Reddit, one of his major audiences, so it could be that he's lost a lot of (undeserved) credibility in the wake of Twitter.

Amazon's been touting the launch of a "newly redesigned Air Prime Drone same day delivery service" every year since 2015 or maybe longer. But they just put out a press release every year, they don't flood social media with daily updates about their vapourware.

As for Musk posting unironically, while some think he's trying to be Space Messiah, what it again tells me is that he'd sooner burn up $100 billion in the atmosphere than actually try to help anyone currently living on Planet Earth.

And that pulp mag illustration has so many problems, it must be embarrasing to the engineers employed at SpaceX that Musk posted it, since the artist doesn't seem to understand how rockets work, or gravity, or animals, or...anything.

Caught up with thread. Anyone else remember a couple days ago, seeing a tweet from some rear end kisser all concerned for Musky and telling him to be careful and have good security or whatever, because dear lord you're a target, King Leon? Paraphrasing, but I swear I saw it. Not inclined to dig back through the thread or Twitter looking for it, though. Brownie points to whoever finds it.

But anyway, just proves Mush has never had an original idea is his life. He expressed no public concern over his safety until somebody else said it first.

If you got a couple hundred tweets telling him ohmygod you're in danger boy, you could probably drive him to retreat into a private compound with a 20 year supply of code, tissues boxes and piss bottles.

Edit: Well, for a couple days. Until someone put another idea in his head and he went stomping out like some bleached, malformed CEOzilla to conquer the world with a pillow that dreams for you.
