No Mention of Tesla Factory in France
Surprisingly, after a meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron, Musk did not discuss the possibility of installing a Tesla factory in France. This is in contrast to his previous promise in mid-May to make significant investments in the country. As a result, Tesla might consider Spain as its preferred location, following the brand’s first European factory in Berlin four years ago.
Neural Implants by Neuralink
During his conference, Musk also announced his ambitious plan to witness a human being with neural implants from his company Neuralink by 2023. Neuralink recently obtained authorization to conduct trials in the United States. Musk revealed, “Later this year, we will do our first human microchip implantation for someone who has a form of quadriplegia.”

Advancing Brain-Computer Communication
The purpose of these microchips is to establish direct communication between brains and computers, aiming to assist paralyzed individuals or those suffering from neurological diseases. Musk’s vision for this technology is to revolutionize the lives of those in need.
Twitter, AI, and the Future
Musk, known for his provocative statements, defended a Twitter free of censorship during his presentation. He also expressed concerns about the potential “apocalypse” that artificial intelligence could bring upon humanity. Musk’s trip to Rome to discuss crucial issues such as artificial intelligence risks and birth rate with Italy’s head of government, Giorgia Meloni, further highlights his dedication to shaping the future.
“Optimistic” Outlook on Twitter
Since taking over Twitter, Musk has made significant changes, including staff reductions and agreements with the US government to address controversial messages. He even restored former President Donald Trump’s account. Musk expressed optimism about the future of Twitter, emphasizing the platform’s success in eliminating fake accounts, fraud, and sexual content involving minors.

Musk’s Involvement in AI
Musk played a crucial role as one of the founders of OpenAI, the company behind the controversial ChatGPT chatbot. His involvement in AI has sparked both fascination and controversy.
A Controversial Figure
Elon Musk finds himself in a dispute with the European Union (EU) over the regulation of Twitter. The EU, including France, criticizes Musk for his refusal to combat disinformation. European Commissioner Thierry Breton warned Musk about complying with EU digital services law, threatening a fine equivalent to 6% of the company’s turnover. Musk’s recent withdrawal of Twitter from the EU code of good practice against disinformation further escalated tensions, leading to threats of a platform ban from French Minister Jean-Noël Barrot.
Inspiration for Entrepreneurs
Despite the controversies, Musk remains an innovative and inspirational figure. Start-up co-founder Tassadit Quivy expressed admiration for Musk, stating, “Elon Musk is the most innovative person in the world! For us, he is a source of inspiration, someone who knows no limits and believes in his dreams and projects.”
