Elon Musk, in his reply, presented a “simulation hypothesis”. According to him, everyone who’s living inside this world could be part of a simulation reality. That is, we might be living inside a world, similar to a video game, created by an advanced civilization. And that nothing that we experience or do is real.
Giving the example of the old game Pong, he said that forty years ago, that was how the video games were perceived.
