In 1994, Elon Musk and others, using the nickname "De Sade," engaged in discussions on Usenet, an early internet platform, about reducing input latency in the game Lodestar. They explored bypassing slow BIOS interrupts by directly accessing the joystick port, which could save nineteen milliseconds. This early focus on minimizing latency is reflected in Musk's later innovations, from Neuralink's brain interfaces to Tesla's responsive controls, highlighting a consistent pursuit of efficiency across his ventures.
