The joke is that something Elon's companies make actually works reliably.

I was gonna say Tesla but he actually bought that company, and it doesn't do as well anymore
The joke is also that the burning car was a Tesla, and if Elon could, he'd push a patch to copy/paste his face onto any memories of firefighters found in a Neuralink customer's brain
Actual augments like this will never work if they phone home to do their job. There could be massive benefits to people with a huge variety of conditions and interests, but if it's corpo ware and isn't hyper protected by medical review, and long term support, it's junk
Just play Deus Ex to see the potential ramifications. That and I know things go to the lowest bidder and I know what developers are like….
One of many futuristic "dystopias" that actually ended up being far too optimistic compared to reality.
"This plague...the rioting is intensifying to the point where we may not be able to contain it."
"Why contain it? Let it spill over the schools and churches, let the bodies pile up in the streets. In the end they'll beg us to save them."
Reality: "In the end they'll refuse to be vaccinated anyway."
Saw an interview with Warren Spector where he said if he was making Deus Ex today, it would be completely different, since the game they made back then would look like a documentary.
Cyberpunk dystopias are depressing because we have all of the bad stuff (corporations running everything) and none of the cool stuff (cybernetic augments).
I'd be on board with Neuralink.... if Musk wasn't behind it.
Think I"ll wait for an open source brain chip
I'm not sure I'd even trust a fully local open source one.
The issues about trusting hardware and software development tools all lead to problems here.
It is a really interesting, very scary technology that requires a solid institutional foundation to provide trust. Musk degrades trust, he doesn't build it.
His maga fanboys would ram a rusty nail into their skull if he tells them it's the hot new shit.
Okay so for anyone who’s played outer worlds I could see this sort of plot being central to outer worlds 2
