While I'm all for the possibility of brain-machine interfacing so we can communicate better with our devices, there ain't no way whatsoever that I'm putting anything that Musk creates inside my brain.

You get it put in and suddenly you think Musk is a sexy genius, apartheid wasn't that bad, and that Tesla cars definitely aren't trying to kill you.

Just so ya know, the Musk emerald mine was in Zambia, which did not have apartheid.

I'm not sure what that has to do with anything? I didn't mention the emerald mine.
