Has Elon Musk been developing a technology related to the NBA that would allow users to download a player's jump shot into their memory? The answer is no. Tech billionaire Elon Musk has not confirmed developing any such technology related to the NBA or any other sports league in the world.
Origin of the Rumor
The rumor is completely false and originated from a parody page on X. In the last few hours, a parody account with the username "Hoops Crave" posted a fabricated statement attributed to Elon Musk. The post read: "Elon Musk says that Neuralink will let users download an NBA player's jump shot into muscle memory by 2028."
Reactions from Fans
While some fans were initially convinced that this could be true, others quickly debunked the fake post. One fan joked, "Everybody rocking the Curry jumpshot in the big 28," while another wrote, "Thought I uploaded a corrupted file but it's just Lu Dort's jumpshot." A third fan quipped, "It's literally like the Matrix. Instead of 'I know kung fu', it's 'I know Steph Curry jump shot.'" Another fan noted, "I'm sure at this point any human with a neuralink would be banned from joining professional sports at that level. They would have to make a league of their own for humans with chips in their head with no talent but downloaded talent."
Official Response Missing
Despite the fake post already garnering 8.9 million views, neither Elon Musk nor the NBA has officially commented on it. This is not the first time Musk has been associated with such false NBA rumors. A few months ago, there were rumors about him offering $500 million for a stake in the Los Angeles Lakers, which also proved to be baseless.
