Elon Musk has been in the news a lot recently after his purchase of Twitter. However, I was not expecting to come across an article such as this one. I wasn’t sure if it was taken from the satirical site, The Onion, or if it was real. I can think of at least two Black Mirror episodes that can accompany the reading of this article. Under what physical or mental state would you be willing to get a brain chip implanted? Read the article, watch the episodes. Let’s talk about it.
