Elon Musk Takes a Subtle Dig at Cyberpunk 2077 With Neuralink Announcement

The fusion of the human brain with artificial intelligence has been majorly portrayed in science fiction movies and games up till now. However, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk looks forward to turn this into reality with his neurotechnology startup, Neuralink. The project aims to implant wireless brain-computer interfaces in the human body, which could help in curing neurological conditions like Alzheimer’s and dementia.

Elon Musk claims that Neuralink, in the longer run, will take on ventures that are “species-level important”. Naturally, he wants a dedicated workforce to yield the best results.

Elon Musk took to Twitter to ask his followers to consider working at Neuralink at Bay Area or Austin. As for now, the company requires people who’ve worked on advanced wearables, phones, and robots.

Elon Musk makes jokes on almost everything, and Cyberpunk 2077 is no exception. While promoting his company, the CEO took a sly dig at CD Projekt RED’s latest title for its inability to portray a world where artificial intelligence and humanity go hand in hand.

He is helping Neuralink recreate a “hopefully good version of” Cyberpunk 2077, which apparently is weird for him.

Elon Musk is a fan of Cyberpunk 2077

It is worth noting that Elon Musk is actually a fan of Cyberpunk 2077. Time and again, he has commented about the game, which includes both constructive criticism and appreciation. For Elon Musk, the biggest highlights in Cyberpunk 2077 are its stunning visuals and decent playability.

Interestingly, one of his recent tweets about the Tesla Model S Plaid significantly helped CD Projekt RED. Alongside other features, Elon Musk claimed that the car could run Cyberpunk 2077 and praised the game’s aesthetics.

Even though this might have been a reference to Cyberpunk 2077’s disappointing performance on previous-gen consoles, the Polish developer’s shares witnessed a 19% surge owing to it.

This is similar to Elon Musk’s tweets on the ongoing GameStop stock surge. The billionaire jokingly renamed the company as Gamestonks, following which the entire fiasco gained more popularity, and the stock’s price escalated even more.
