Elon Musk Teases Vegas Loop With “Tunnel Rave” Set to the Sounds of Avicii
As you may know, Elon Musk and his team of engineers at The Boring Company are building underground transportation tunnels in an effort to help speed up local and national travel. While this may lead to a faster way for dance music fans to get to shows across the country, it’s what the company recently shared on their Twitter page that should really excite them. Described as a “tunnel rave,” the new video posted by The Boring Company shows off the interior of the tunnel with pulsating, rainbow lights overhead. As heard in the clip, the “rave” is soundtracked by Avicii‘s iconic dance anthem “Levels.” This seems appropriate for the Tesla CEO after he released a dance track of his own back in February 2020. This news is also simil...
Watch Grimes Give Her Son X Æ A-XII a “Bath Rave for Babies”
At least someone gets to go to raves, albeit in a darkened room and a tub filled with flashing water toys. Grimes and Elon Musk gave their newborn baby one of the world’s most interesting names after welcoming little X Æ A-Xii into the world back in May 2020. After naming the child after some kind of magical potion out of a science fiction novel, it’s not surprising the pop star would have some avant-garde methods on how to raise her six-month-old son. If you look up “I’m not a regular mom, I’m a cool mom” in the dictionary, Grimes’ face would appear. Fans got a rare glimpse into the life of X Æ A-Xii earlier this week, when Grimes posted a few videos to her Instagram Stories of her son during bath time. Apparently when your mom is Grimes...

BMW launches new flagship iX electric SUV with 300 miles of range
BMW unveiled its next electric vehicle, the iX SUV, with 300 miles of range and gorgeous minimal interior. The iX is BMW’s technological flagship, meaning it incorporates multiple technologies that will be featured in the German automaker’s upcoming vehicles, mainly electric powertrain and driver interface. The BMW iX will be the first vehicle to feature the automaker’s fifth-generation scalable EV technology, which means it can be adjusted to accommodate vehicles of different sizes and utility. The BMW iX will go into production at the company’s Dingolfing factory, located in Southern Bavaria, Germany, in the second half of 2021 and is scheduled to arrive on US shores in early 2022.

Elon Musk Demonstrates Neuralink Brain Chip in Living Pig
Elon Musk has already revolutionized car and space travel. Now, the Tesla and Space X founder wants to change the way humans communicate. As previously reported, Musk’s latest start-up, Neuralink, is developing a computer-brain chip with the ability to communicate with external devices. The idea is to implant “gossamer-thin wires” — thinner than human hair — directly into a person’s brain. Upon its insertion, the chip could help people deal with brain and spinal cord injuries, detect an imminent threat of a heart attack or stroke, and even cure mental health issues and depression. Beyond the potential health benefits, the Neuralink could allow humans to communicate with one another instead of writing or speaking (something Musk refers to as “conceptual telepathy”). Music fans cou...
Tiësto to Elon Musk: “Shall We Put a Drive-In Party Together for Everyone Who Drives a Tesla?”
Earlier in the month of July, eccentric tech billionaire Elon Musk unveiled 3D renderings of his new Giga Factory in Berlin, Germany. Musk, who has also dipped his toes in electronic music production via a house track called “Don’t Doubt Ur Vibe,” wrote at the time that the rooftop may double as a “rave space,” adding, “Might be an indoor/outdoor rave space on the roof,” in a tweet. After another typically incendiary tweet from the Tesla boss today, June 30th, in which he wrote that he “sure could use a good rave,” legendary DJ and producer Tiësto jumped in with his own solution. “Shall we put a drive-in party together for everyone who drives a Tesla ?” he posed. Considering the horsepower and means behin...
Elon Musk Tried Convincing Kanye West to Run For President in 2024, but It Didn’t Work
Elon Musk tried to talk some sense into Kanye West regarding his presidential bid, but it sounds like his BFF didn’t listen. During a new interview with The New York Times, the Tesla and SpaceX founder explained how he attempted to convince West to delay running for president (despite giving his “full support” when Ye first threw his hat into the ring). “I’ve done my best to convince him that 2024 would be better than 2020,” Musk divulged, saying he wouldn’t want his friend to be accused of splitting the Black vote for presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden. During the interview, Musk also revealed he’s known the rapper for “at least 10 years” and checked up on him after his latest Twitter ramblings, which included accusing his wife Kim Kardashian of flying a doctor to Wyo...
Grimes Calls Out Elon Musk After He Tweets “Pronouns Suck”
Grimes publicly called out her own boyfriend, Elon Musk, for a discriminatory tweet against non-binary people. On Friday night, the Space X founder tweeted simply, “Pronouns suck.” It’s unclear what prompted Musk to make such a proclomation, but Grimes wasted no time in calling him out. Just seven minutes after Musk’s initial tweet, Grimes replied to him directly, writing, “I love you but please turn off ur phone or give me a dall. I cannot support hate. Please stop this. I know this isn’t your heart.” Grimes later deleted her reply, but Musk’s original tweet remains up. <img data-attachment-id="1055997" data-permalink="https://consequenceofsound.net/2020/07/grimes-elon-musk-pronouns/grimes-elon-musk-2/" data-orig-file="https://consequenceofsound.net/wp-con...

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 ...
130 Twitter Accounts were Affected by Unprecedented Hack
Sourced from Wired. Twitter fell victim to a major hack that saw 130 high-profile accounts – belonging to the likes of Elon Musk, Bill Gates, former US President Barack Obama, Jeff Bezos and Apple, amongst others – targetted, although it’s reported that no passwords were stolen.

Image sourced from The Hacker News The unprecedented attack is ‘one of the most widespread and confounding hacks the platform has ever seen’, according to The Verge. Twitter has since confirmed that they are working on the issue and have “locked accounts that were compromised and will ...
