I’ve ranted before about this, but we are nowhere near the point where neural implants can be what Elong claims. He’ll be long dead by the time we get colonies on Mars or chips in the brains of people without debilitating conditions. He’d be lucky to see reliable self driving become the norm.
I would hope, but there might not even be enough resources to go around. We could live in a post scarcity society now, but the only reason we don’t is that capitalists and imperialists abhor the notion. They’re obsessed with having power over others, not security and comfort. They want life to be a treadmill for everyone, so they make sure starvation is a perpetual problem. When there actually isn’t enough for everyone, we will already be deep into mass famine.
