Provide a human with neural implants this year and not censor Twitter: with these announcements, Elon Musk held his rank as a world star of tech in front of 3,600 fans, Friday June 16, in Paris.

The purpose of these brain chips is to make brains and computers communicate directly, to help people who are paralyzed or suffering from neurological diseases.
Not a word about a Tesla factory in France

Positions that this libertarian has already repeated many times. “If we’re hit by an AI-triggered apocalypse, I think I’d still like to be alive then”he smiled.
However, he did not mention the Tesla factory of which the Elysee Palace dreams for France, despite a meeting with Emmanuel Macron at midday. However, he had promised in May, at the “Chose France” show, that the electric car manufacturer would “significant investments” in the country. “Let’s work together”, nevertheless tweeted in English the head of state after their meeting, at the very moment when the American leader started at his conference.
