Musk Believes Neuralink Not Metaverse 'Could Put Man Fully Into Virtual Reality'

Entrepreneur, business magnate and billionaire Elon Musk believes Neuralink's sophisticated implantable brain-machine interfaces and not Mark Zuckerberg's VR-driven metaverse could soon put humans "fully into virtual reality." Neuralink co-founder Musk took a dig at Zuckerberg and other proponents of virtual reality and metaverse in an interview with the conservative and Christian satire site Babylon Tree on Tuesday. During the interview, the billionaire revealed his lack of support for the metaverse and Web3, two trends believed to radically change the tech world. For the Time Magazine's 2021 Person of the Year, his neurotechnology company, Neuralink, is more capable of providing a better environment for people to fully immerse in virtual reality. "In the long term, a sophisticated Neuralink could put you fully into virtual reality," Musk noted.
