Good morning Brew Daily Show. I'm Neil Freiman and I'm Toby Howl. Today you might want to put in your two weeks when you hear how much money Walmart store managers are making these days.

Musk also revealed that the first Nurelink product will be called

telepathy and would be geared toward people who have lost the ability to use their limbs.

He said, imagine if Stephen Hawking could communicate faster than a speed typist or auctioneer, that's the goal.
