Had to double check it was not April 1 when reading this article. Scary.

Here's a quote from the article.

Go beyond our biological capabilities? The average person is far below that. Let's start with the low hanging fruit at least, lol.

Is it all in-house R&D with Musk in full control of all technology ?. I be curious to know how much, if any development, control/ownership is subsidized by Federal Gov. DOD, DARPA ..etc.

Didn't anyone tell him this is how we get skynet?

Just grow a new brain in situ using CRISPR with a side of genius and shark DNA, yada yada, just for the fun of it.
Already happening.

What makes you ( Musk ) think that we as humans need or are meant to go "beyond our biological capabilities"...?
We ain't that far removed from when we were chasing woolly mammoths and in turn being chased by saber toothed tigers.

What makes you ( Musk ) think that humans can handle going on "beyond our biological capabilities"...?
While I ain't fond of limits...Limits can be good and useful.

Why...when we don't even use the technology we already have for the good of mankind...would you want to implant that same or some sort of higher tech in your brain...?
Who controls this chip...?
What does this chip actually do to you and your brain / health...?

No way in Hell would I do that to myself.

Well, I'm all in for a neural implant modification. Who doesn't want to be as smart as your self-serving globalist masters ? ...LOL

Apparently Humans Are NOT there yet ? Maybe after the earths population as a whole has a Neural Chip Modification Implant, and mankind has been artificially engineered to a 'higher Human Potential'. 'Then We Be Smart '. Then and only then - for example . As Humans, we be at least able to gather intelligence enough to arrange simple fresh drinking water, and sanitation. For the couple Billion Humans on Earth without .

I expect people with the implants to feel that they are better than unmodified humans, and to justify that to rule over the masses.
