So says a billionaire. Whatever.

I hear the UAW is trying to organize in his Tesla factory. I almost hope they succeed and make his biz as decrepit as GM.

Musk is just another leech on our treasury and he is also an idiot...I personally have been collecting every non-computerized item i can get hold of...from pumps to lanterns to vehicles...think about this for a second....IF the cars and trucks made since the early seventies with the introduction of computers are SO GREAT....why are mechanics bays still full to the brim?...My 1971 International Harvester truck runs like a conventional well built vehicle should...points and condenser and tires that can be changed roadside with two screwdrivers (split locking ring rims)...so who is the wiser ?...a tax sucking scumbag “Musk” or the team of engineneers that designed a vehicle that is on the road legally 46 years later?....the arrogance of this punk is beyond my patience.

everyone here misses the fact that this is already happening, just not in the way you expected.

Our smart phones have already become part of our extended memory and knowledge base that supplements our brain. The technology to control computers using only our brain is already here and in use for paralytics as well as replacement limbs for amputees that are superior to real ones.

we are surrounded by robots but don’t realize it because they don’t look like the ones we expected from watching movies. I have a robot that washes my dishes, it’s called a dishwasher. I have another that washes my clothes and a different one that dries them, they are called my washer and dryer. I have a robot that wakes me up in the morning, it’s called a clock, and another that turns on and off my air conditioner, it’s called a thermostat, ect.

All of these things are robots, they are just specialty robots designed to do a particular thing, but it wont stay that way for much longer. Technology will continue to leap forward and eventually a robot like we imagined will sweep the world as fast as smart phones did.

I watched a Korean movie about a woman that produces an cyborg in the image of her unrequited love. What could go wrong ?

You first Elon.

Oh, and you have to use random batteries pulled off your company’s production line to power yourself...

humans need to merge with machines to become a sort of cyborg.

secular humanists have been saying that for years. It is part of man's evolution.

"Humans must merge with machines or become irrelevant in AI age"

You crawl into the wood chipper first, Elon.

Elon is at least 50% BS. He’s the P.T. Barnum of this decade.
