Elon Musk Says People Will Eventually Consume Music Through Brain Chip
Headphones may soon be a thing of the past if Elon Musk has his way. The tech bro and Kanye loyalist believes his latest product, a brain chip implant, will be able to stream music directly into our brains. Neuralink, a startup recently co-founded by Musk, has been developing “computer-brain interfaces” with the intention of “helping humans keep pace with advanced artificial intelligence.” As TechCrunch further explains, the idea is to “implant gossamer-thin wires” — supposedly thinner than human hair — into a person’s brain. These would be connected to an external computer machine, but the aim is to one day make the connection between these two completely wireless. Musk first announced Neuralink last year, including details on “successful” experiments on mice and apes. He plans to reveal ...

Twitter says it has “no evidence” user passwords were accessed as part of yesterday’s massive attack targeting the company’s internal tools, but it is still working to restore access to locked accounts.

Twitter accounts for a number of high-profile individuals including former president Barack Obama, former vice president Joe Biden, Kanye West, Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Michael Bloomberg, Warren Buffett, and others were hacked on Wednesday as part of an apparent cryptocurrency scam.

The zombie Twitter accounts advised their respective followers to send bitcoins to a secure address, promising that the money would be returned double the amount. This...
Elon Musk Shares 3D Rendering of New Tesla Factory with “Rave Space on the Roof”
Following the news that his electric car and battery behemoth dethroned Toyota as the world’s largest automaker by market value, Tesla boss Elon Musk is planning to open the company’s brand new Giga Factory in Berlin, Germany. Musk posted a 3D render of the factory on Twitter this morning, July 15th, which shows a gargantuan, solar panel-lined roof atop a sprawling facility situated in a picturesque field in Berlin. Musk, who has also dabbled in electronic music production via an original song called “Don’t Doubt Ur Vibe,” also flung the dance music community headfirst into a fever pitch by writing that the rooftop may also moonlight as a “rave space.” Replying to a Twitter user asking for more information about the cave rendering, Musk w...
Kanye West No Longer Has Elon Musk’s “Full Support” On His Presidential Bid
Source: Kevin Mazur / Getty Well, looks like Kanye West might be in danger of losing a possible major donor for his 2020 Presidential campaign before it even got underway. According to Page Six, billionaire Elon Musk has decided to backtrack on his “full support” of Yeezy’s presidential aspirations after he was called out on Twitter by John Crowley who wrote “Cmon Elon – you’re way too intelligent for this BS.” In a now-deleted tweet, Musk responded, “We may have more differences of opinion than I anticipated.” Though he didn’t get into specifics on what he and Yeezus disagreed on, we can only imagine what those issues could be as Musk has pledged his support to the Trump presidency and that ish is all sorts of asinine. Could Kanye’s recent “rejection” of Donald Trump and his administ...
Kanye Says He is Running for President Under “The Birthday Party”, Already Has a VP
On Fourth of July, Kanye West announced his candidacy for president. Though the election is less than fourth months away and he has yet to formally file any paperwork, in a new interview with Forbes, Kanye swore his intentions are true and not a publicity stunt.

He has already settled on a running mate: Michelle Tidbal, a preacher from Wyoming.

Kanye West Says He’s Running For President in 2020
Kanye West has long expressed an interest in running for president, though he previously said he would wait until Donald Trump was out of office. Now, though, the billionaire polymath has seemingly announced his intention to seek the presidency in 2020. “We must now realize the promise of America by trusting God, unifying our vision and building our future,” Kanye wrote in a tweeted post on Independence Day. “I am running for president of the United States! #2020Vision” Given that the election is less than four months away, and with the filing deadline for a number of states having already passed, Kanye’s path to the White House won’t be easy. Additionally, he recently agreed to become the creative director of the Gap, with plans to launch his initial product line in early 2021. How he int...
Kanye West and Elon Musk Bro Down With Grimes as Their Witness
Yeezy season is once again approaching, and with that comes Mr. West monopolizing our timelines. Just days after announcing his musical return with the Yeezus-channeling Travis Scott duet “Wash Us in the Blood” and his upcoming record God’s Country, Kanye West has taken Twitter by storm today with a billionaire-laced photo of him standing side-by-side with Elon Musk. The caption appropriately reads “When you go to your boys house and you’re both wearing orange” and caps off with a fitting emoji of an orange. The shot of the laced-up “Spaceship” rapper and the also-laced-up SpaceX founder has since earned well-over 400,000 likes, and fans are pointing out that, if you squint hard enough, you can see Grimes’ reflection in the background as she takes the photo. And as ever, no Kanye post...
