 Elon Musk believes it’s a good idea for you to have your brain cut open in order to put proprietary hardware and software in there. Software which can be altered and updated later.

Other people’s property. 
Inside your brain.

This is a dumbass retard test isnt it? 
 Yes.  
 Yes. Musk is quite the troll. 
 Call me Luddite, but I am staying a human. 
 Techno-Zombies.TM 
 What if you’re totally paralysed and you have a chance to actually to move your body? Would you really care if the hardware and software was propriety? Don’t think so :) 
 I was wondering who was going to try to justify their desire to play video games with a brain chip by invoking some hypothetical paralyzed person miraculously saved by Elon’s super proprietary brain chip.😆
You’re a mainstream marketers dream. 
 Not justifying it, just saying that if the tech actually does work, it could change a lot of lives, then if it’s all just a bunch of marketing bs I really have no idea 
 Speaking of "altering and updating", a lot of non chipped humans that seem to be plenty susceptible already. 
 Hmmm.
Good point. 
The chip is the physical manifestation of what is already happening. 
 That's my thinking.
 The main hurdle has already been cleared. 
 abuse of connectivity has been blatant imho 
 Sounds a lot like a pacemaker...

People with severe problems (blindness, paralysis - that sort of thing) will want it. 
 Yes. Of course. That is why Elon says millions of people will have them. severe paralysis 😏 
 Thats not what i am saying.
I say these impaired poeple will want that technology (dooropener).

And I tell you that literraly millions of people already accepted radio configurable pace makers, a device that litteraly controlls your heart and has absolutely no security besides "proprietary software" (aka "security by obfuscation").



 
 A bushabluhdna bkunafkubdubinub is what you’re saying. Or maybe fmigbkubergudersprig gubernaflinergoo. 
 You just dont get it.
They do it for 40+ years now, just the heart in the past, now the brain.

They found lots of people doing it.

We're moving from alpha testing to beta testing.

Yes, its insane. Nonetheless they will find happily paying custumers. 

Think of the poor disabled.  
 Brianchip propaganda bot 🤖 
 Idiot.

Its not my fault, when NPCs will see the "advantages" of that.

I showed you, that people are alrsedy willingly wiring their hearts to radio controllable units.
They will wire their brains, too.

Its like "oh, you where born in a time when brain chips still where mandatory?" in 100 years. 
 the reality is we have two cyborgs in the world right now, and someone in control of them aka Elon fucking musk. very sad days ahead if this continues.
