Elon Musk is the guy shooting rockets into space, wiring brains to computers, and building AI that could reshape the world, but ask him to build a smartphone. He says, that makes me wanna die. Yep. Those were his exact words. At a recent town hall, when someone asked if he'd ever make a Tesla phone, why the dramatic reaction?
Because to Musk smartphones are yesterday's tech. He's focused on Neuralink brain computer interfaces that could replace screens entirely. But here's the twist. Musk also said that if Apple or Google try to block his platforms like X from their app stores, he'll step in and build a phone. Whether he likes it or not, he doesn't want to.
He's got, as he put it, a lot of fish to fry. But he's not afraid to shake up an industry if it threatens his vision. So could the Tesla phone still happen? Maybe. But if it does, it'll be out of necessity, not ambition. And if Musk enters the phone game, it won't be just another smartphone. It'll be something no one saw coming.
