“The primary dudes in line are nonetheless going to be apes,” one user tweeted.

“Simply say NOPE!” wrote another.

The backlash is not too shocking, given how the announcement is about tech that actually places a chip in your head, and Skynet nonetheless grips folks on the web with worry. Musk himself has hinted that he thinks nefarious AI might be a possibility.

However with these ambitions have come very seen failures, corresponding to SpaceX’s mega-rocket bursting into flames in April (stated by Musk to be an anticipated consequence) and The Boring Firm’s hyped Washington D.C. and Los Angeles tasks stalling out in 2021.

And on Wednesday, tech points on Musk’s Twitter Areas led to a disastrous begin for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ 2024 marketing campaign announcement, as a whole bunch of 1000’s of listeners overloaded the positioning.

“Elon already confirmed this week that he is the man with the technical consideration to element to belief with mind implants,” one Twitter user wrote sarcastically.

In the meantime, some individuals are asking Musk to test the brain implants on himself.

They should not have to attend lengthy. Musk stated in December that he’d achieve this as soon as human trials are able to go.

Whether or not the billionaire, CEO, and father of 10 truly places the chip in his head stays to be seen.
