Elon Musk's recent actions are now threatening to raise some ethical considerations about life. According to the billionaire, people would be able to easily transfer their "brain capacities into humanoid robots" in the future.
Possibility of Humans Downloading Their Brain and Personality Into a Humanoid Robot
Mathias Döpfner, the CEO of Business Insider, has asked Elon Musk whether it would be feasible for people to just transfer brain function straight into Optimus.
The Tesla CEO then responded that he believes it is achievable. According to Musk, "humanoid robots are happening" and explained that Optimus is a worker-droid. Its general purpose is to take over repetitive, boring and dangerous tasks or those stuff that people don't want to do.
Döpfner went on to query if this may entail endless life since people could then download their identities straight into a bot.

Elon Musk immediately responded with a resounding "yes," claiming that people would be able to download specific characteristics that they believe distinguish them. He went on to say that if the individual is no longer in the body, it will be a different story.
Elon Musk went on to say that this path is truly viable when it comes to retaining human memories or even personalities. When questioned if the brain might be transferrable, the CEO said he wasn't sure if a "sharp border" existed.

Musk went on to claim that "computers and phones augment our ability to communicate," implying that human beings are now capable of doing things that were formerly thought to be magical thanks to these gadgets.
