I love what TSLA is doing with green energy, EV's, battery tech, etc. I love what SpaceX is doing to help us get back to space exploration. Putting electronics into people's brains to 'enhance' them is taking things too damn far though. If we ever get to the point in our society where people are 'upgrading' their brains with electronics I'll want off this world.
