Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk showed no support for the metaverse and Web 3.0 ecosystems as he dismissed the terms for being used as buzzwords and marketing tactics.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t see someone strapping a friggin\u2019 screen to their face all day,\u201d said Musk in an interview with The Babylon Bee when asked about his thoughts on the metaverse ecosystem. \u201cI don\u2019t know if I necessarily buy into this metaverse stuff, although people talk to me a lot\u00a0about it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Speaking around metaverse and virtual reality (VR), Musk said that he does not see a future where one would have to leave the physical world to live in a virtual on. Sharing a personal experience, he added that the VR headsets tend to trigger motion sickness while playing video games:<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the long term, a sophisticated Neuralink could put you fully into virtual reality. I think we\u2019re far from disappearing into the metaverse, this sounds just kind of buzzwordy.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Musk founded Neuralink, a neurotechnology company that primarily aims to deploy brain implants on humans for restoring and enhancing physical capabilities through computers. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m currently unable to see a compelling metaverse situation or Web 3 sounds like more marketing than reality. I don\u2019t get it, and maybe I will, but I don\u2019t get it yet.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Musk also highlighted that people will not prefer moving around with VR headsets without wanting to ever leave it. He also recollected being warned growing up about not sitting too close to the TV:<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s gonna ruin your eyesight, right? And now we\u2019ve got TV literally right here (on the face). I\u2019m like what? Is that good for you?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Adding to his role as the most influential Dogecoin (DOGE) supporter, Musk recently expressed support for crypto, calling it indestructible and fundamentally aimed at reducing the power of a centralized government.\u00a0As Cointelegraph reported, Musk said at Code Conference in California:<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is not possible to destroy crypto, but it is possible for governments to slow down its advancement.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
He also suggested that the United States government should \u201cdo nothing\u201d when asked about his views on crypto regulations. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
