Though $Netflix(NFLX.US$'s dystopian anthology series has been off-the-air since 2019, "Black Mirror" began trending on Twitter on Sunday after users began comparing Musk's Neuralink brain implant chip to a similar device seen in a 2011 episode of the show.

"In the future you'll be able to save and replay memories," Musk said in the presentation. "This is increasingly sounding like a 'Black Mirror,' episode ... Ultimately you could download them into a new body or a robot body."
According to Neuralink, the company's brain-computer interface technology is designed to solve a number of physical limitations, including blindness, paralysis, and hearing loss. Musk previously said the product could allow users to operate a smartphone with their mind faster than using their thumbs.
