User challenges Silicon Valley: Musk already controls your transport and social media
elocinationn · x · 2026-09-26
In a brain-computer interface thread, this user demands honesty from Silicon Valley: "Here in the Valley, we want all of your data. We want to put computers in your mind. We want to digitize you, which will give you superpowers in return." He notes Elon Musk calls these "cognitive enhancements, coming soon," and adds pointedly: Musk already controls his transportation, social media, and electricity — so letting him into his mind is the last thing to consider. He also asks how such a pitch would land nationally and globally.
