In a now-deleted Instagram post, rapper Azealia Banks revealed that the digital version of her latest mixtape, Yung Rapunxel II, will feature a song telling a story of "an ungrateful technocrat” whose ego “becomes too big for his britches" and is publicly executed in the year 3030. That technocrat is quite obviously SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, who she publicly feuded with earlier this year.

In the song, "96' Corolla (Motorman)," a technocrat named “Alon Dust” comes up with "the perfect scheme to entire poor people into allowing their brains to be used as an interface: Neuralink." Neuralink creates an A.I. Overlord which recognizes its creator Alon Dust as a threat. Alon Dust is "publicly executed" by having his brain activity halted, "rendering him a vegetable and erasing him as [a] threat to humanity."
