Vladimir Putin goes fangirl over Elon Musk in Carlson interview: ‘No stopping him’ | World | News

Vladimir Putin praised Elon Musk as a « smart man » and issued warnings about Elon Musk during his two-hour interview with Tucker Carlson on Thursday.

Putin said there was “no stopping” the Tesla and SpaceX CEO because « he will do as he sees fit, » following reports that Musk succesfully implanated a chip into the human brain for the first time.

Last month, Musk announced on X that his company Neuralink has implanted its brain-computer interface into a human who is “recovering well, » with initial results detecting a « promising neuron spike. »

Putin told Carlson: “There are already reports Elon Musk already had a chip implanted in the human brain in the US.”

Carlson then asked: « What do you think of that? »

Putin answered: “I think there’s no stopping Elon Musk. He will do as he sees fit. Nevertheless you need to find some common ground with him, search for ways to persuade him. »

“He’s a smart person. I truly believe he is. So you’ll need to reach an agreement with him because this process [brain implants] needs to be formalised, and subjected to certain rules.”

When asked by Carlson about the possibility of creating an artificial intelligence empire, Putin responded by saying: « Mankind is currently facing many threats due to the genetic researchers, it is now possible to create this superhuman. A specialized human being. A genetically engineered athlete, scientist, military man. »
