To be clear, I'm a transhumanist, and I'm very much OK with things like merging with machines. But I really hope Musk himself is not framing things this way: that humans will have to merge with machines because they'll be useless otherwise. I can't separate the inflammatory headline and text from what Musk himself said, though... I guess it's not too out of character given Musk's apparent treatment of his own employees, though. Merging with machines and other similar things should happen because it benefits humans, not because it's necessary to make someone money or because someone decided that humans are "useless".

It would be a competitive advantage which would make some people more valuable than others. As far as profit and motives, I think it may be similar to tractors: Someone will make money on the equipment and service, farmers will be more productive which will kill farming jobs, and more food will be produced. I don't see an altruistic path.
