Elon Musk just dropped another wild idea that's got people talking. Instead of locking up criminals in prisons, he's suggesting we use robots to follow them around. Yeah, you read that right—robot surveillance instead of jail cells.

This concept is classic Musk territory. Bold? Absolutely. Controversial? For sure. But it's sparking real debate about how technology might reshape justice systems down the road. Imagine AI-powered bots tracking offenders 24/7, eliminating the need for traditional incarceration. Sounds like sci-fi, but with advances in robotics and monitoring tech, maybe it's not as far-fetched as it seems.

Critics will have a field day with privacy concerns and ethical questions. Supporters might see cost savings and potential for rehabilitation without warehousing people. Either way, it's the kind of disruptive thinking that makes you wonder—could tech really transform something as fundamental as criminal justice? What's your take on this robotic surveillance approach?

It's another one of Musk's crazy ideas, tracking criminals with Bots? Sounds like a Black Mirror episode... But I have to say, this guy always hits the nail on the head. --- A cyberpunk prison system sounds incredibly futuristic, but the privacy aspect is really a hurdle that can't be ignored. --- Wow, directly replacing prisons with Bots? If that really happens, how many correctional facilities would need to be cut? --- Musk's mind thinks of things that ordinary people can't comprehend... But thinking about it, is it better than locking people up? --- Wait a minute, 24-hour tracking by Bots, how is that different from house arrest... What about privacy rights, fren? --- It's interesting, costs can definitely be saved, but the key question is who decides who should be tracked? It's too easy for power to be abused. --- Bots as prison guards, if that becomes a reality, how strong would the Computing Power need to be... Musk is looking for application scenarios for TSL again. --- I just want to know, what happens if the Bots go on strike, haha.

ngl this guy just knows how to stir things up, Bots tracking criminals? Sounds like a Black Mirror plot... what about privacy? What happened to freedom? --- Musk is speeding again, not closing prisons but raising Bots as prison guards? I just want to ask who is going to supervise this bunch of Bots? --- I understand the money-saving aspect, but being watched by Bots 24/7... isn't that more terrifying than being in prison? kind of dystopian vibes --- web3 people say: Decentralization prison management system > Musk's Bots plan, what do you all say? --- Stop with this sci-fi nonsense, the real issue is the judicial system itself, Bots can't save us.

ngl this guy just loves to stir things up. Robots monitoring prisoners? Sounds like a Black Mirror episode lol --- It’s Musk again, and Bitcoin, and now even the judicial system is getting an overhaul... All I know is this thing probably isn’t cheap either. --- There’s no privacy left, so what’s the point of reform? It’s really just whatever big boss thinks of, he does. --- Wait a minute, isn’t this just a more advanced ankle monitor? That’s been around for ages... Why does it have to be a robot following you? --- It all sounds impressive, but the real issue is who will control the power. If that’s not solved, none of this matters. --- Just imagine what happens if the robot gets hacked... The more you think about it, the scarier it gets. --- Anyway, I wouldn’t want a robot watching me 24/7. I’d rather just go to jail. --- If this logic really gets implemented, the prison industry in developed countries is going to be devastated... Just think who you’d be offending.

Here we go again, man, Musk's brain really is running 24 hours a day... Bots following criminals like they're flying a kite? What guarantees that they won't be hacked? Always thinking about using technology to solve social problems, but who will take care of these Bots... privacy will definitely collapse. Sounds cost-effective, but imagine what it feels like to be followed by a hunk of metal for half your life... it still needs human handling. It feels like he just likes throwing sci-fi novels into reality; anyway, I don't want to be monitored, no matter how cheap it is, I won't do it. What about the machine failure rate? Has this guy even thought about that? If it breaks down at a critical moment, it's over. My husband is speechless... can we really think of all problems as technical issues? The system is fundamental. Musk: If there's a problem, just add some AI, this logic is really something... it's a common issue among web3 people, haha. This idea is actually a big pitfall; crime rates might actually rise instead, let's just wait and see.

Bro, this idea is really wild. Having robots monitor 24/7 is way easier than locking people up. Ngl, if this thing actually gets implemented, it would be insane... Privacy would be totally gone, right? That's just how Musk is. He keeps coming up with these scary things every day. It's not a sci-fi movie—can this actually work? Or is it just hype? The low cost part is true, but I'm just worried about abuse... Hey, what do you guys think is more depressing: being watched by robots or going to jail? This guy is famous for coming up with crazy ideas—anyway, this topic is blowing up in chat. Feels like the ethical debate could go on forever, and it's just going to get more complicated then.

It’s Elon’s crazy ideas again... Looking at historical data, every time he stirs things up like this, the market fluctuates. Could monitoring bots become the next hot asset? It depends on the technical trend.
