Even if you wanted some proprietary tech installed in your body, it seems like such a terrible idea. What happens when the thing is obsolete? What happens if there is a bug? What happens when Elons team didn't consider some edge case or basic engineering principles? What is to prevent them from doing something unethical once it is installed?

Stay out of my brain, thank you very much.

No think,
only consume.

I would be interested in seeing brain implant with fully open-source firmware that could be flashed securely (as in no wireless updates). I probably wouldn't use it but I would be more comfortable with supporting it for those with physical disabilities.

But but ... it'll play music in your head! Don't you see the benefit of such marvellous innovation provided exclusively by Elon Musk?
