Entrepreneur Elon Musk shared his vision in a podcast, foreseeing the ability for individuals to transfer their consciousness into non-biological bodies within two decades. Musk tied this concept to his projects Neuralink and Tesla Optimus robotics, aiming to achieve "digital immortality."

Musk's idea involves backing up neural data and fully moving personalities into artificial bodies, contingent on the safety and potential for memory retention or skill improvement. While Musk is optimistic about this merging of humans and machines, experts raise concerns about the scientific and ethical challenges, such as translating human consciousness into digital format and addressing issues related to personal rights and identity preservation.
