ELON MUSK’S OPINION ABOUT THE ‘METAVERSE’:

 



Much to the surprise of many, the world’s richest person and the owner of SpaceX and Tesla, Elon Musk doesn’t seem to be a fan of the revolutionary ‘Metaverse’ concept at all. Despite acknowledging the fact that he was ‘too old’ to understand this latest technology, he brushed aside all the anticipations of the ‘Metaverse fans’ by branding it as completely non-compelling to say the least! Musk further added that the Augmented Virtual Reality experience provided by the ‘Metaverse’ is merely a speculation and nothing else to be frank…

 

Elon Musk explained that the headsets used for the Metaverse universe seem very uncomfortable to wear and hence it won’t be preferred by many individuals and especially old-aged people. He also doubted the reception that metaverse will receive from people, as all of us won’t like to wear a virtual glass on our face all through the day with so much liking!

 

Musk thinks that nobody will be really willing to wear a VR headset day long in a pursuit towards an imaginary landscape that never really existed! He even mocked how a person can be teleported simply into another world just by putting a television on his nose!!! As per his opinion, people won’t abandon their physical life entirely, just for the sake of being in a virtual world.

 

In our childhood, our parents would have advised us to sit and watch the TV screen from a long distance to avoid damaging our eyes. But Metaverse idea demands us to wear VR or AR goggles day in and day out. So, Musk says that he was very surprised to know it all from the health perspective. He even noted that wearing such strapped objects for longer duration won’t be desirable for sure…

 

This recent Elon Musk’s statement has made it clear that the billionaire doesn’t seem much concerned towards the concept of virtual world and leading an ‘Avatar’ kind of lifestyle! Musk in his own words admitted that “I don’t know if I necessarily buy into this metaverse stuff, although people talk to me a lot about it”, in his recent interview to a satirical YouTube channel called ‘Babylon Bee’. He believes that he cannot observe a compelling use-case so far for the VR-driven Metaverse yet and the ideology itself fails to offer better consumer experience. He at last concluded his statement by stating that he won’t be disappearing into this hyper-virtual world soon definitely...
