Beyond shock the monkey
(www.theguardian.com)
I wonder if 
's chud following will complain about this as much as they like to complain about vaccines. 
Of course, I already know the answer.

If Elon really wants to look innovative smart and cool by advancing cybernetics why the fuck did he start with the part of the body that is crucial and will instantly kill you if something goes wrong? Why not just make like, cool futuristic robot arms that have electronics in them or something
the part of the body that is crucial and will instantly kill you
I think you answered your own question. He wants to play god and messing with the brain is more fun for him. And if he kills somebody and their family sues him for $100m - what does he care? He can spend literally millions on legal fees to drag the case out for years and years to try to break them. He gets to play god again.
If he wins - he's on cloud nine. If it looks like he might lose - he can offer them a deal - the money with an NDA. Then he can have private detectives and tech bros follow them around for years and if they break the NDA - he'll fuck with them by suing them.
I just made myself throw up in my mouth.
Listen if I can't be turned into Jax from Mortal Kombat, then I'm just not gonna care.
I will settle for no less than mantis blades
Why stop at Jax?
I wanna be Cyrax or if possible, the Cyborg Sub-Zero
Possibly part of his techbro fetishisation of immortality. Get the NPCs to crash test the implants and speed development, then something something, post-singularity godmind ruler of the internet (who the meatspace slaves all think is Really Cool because of their nerve staples).
I feel like finding out this has already occurred would explain a lot of blue check tweets.
This fucking idiot is going to get people killed. Paralyzed people, even, vulnerable people.
Interpretation
Due to its title and the content of the music video, the song is frequently assumed to be either an animal rights song or a reference to the famous experiments by Stanley Milgram described in his book Obedience to Authority (1974). It is neither, but the Gabriel song "We Do What We're Told (Milgram's 37)" from his fifth studio album So (1986) does deal directly with Milgram.
Gabriel has described "Shock the Monkey" as "a love song" that examines how jealousy can release one's basic instincts; the monkey is not a literal monkey, but a metaphor for one's feelings of jealousy. Gabriel has mentioned that the song's lyrical motif was inspired by King Kong's lightning powers in the film King Kong vs. Godzilla (1962).
Previously you couldn’t feel your legs now they’re in constant pain that’s progress
You made me think of One by Metallica with a change that all he can feel is the pain of limbs that aren't even there.
