Elon's going to try putting your memories behind a paywall.

Why let you have your memories at all? Each day you remember the doctored history of a happy employee. You're excited for another day of peak productivity with a short break for your favorite meal (the only food you're aware of): Soylent green. Hey where's Steve today... who's Steve... better get back to work.
