Regarding the brain damage, it looks like he tested it by himself.
Unfortunately the damage has been on the animals. https://www.wired.com/story/elon-musk-pcrm-neuralink-monkey-deaths/
Funny that the very long vox article doesn’t mention the wired investigation
can literally only end in disaster, just like the monkeys that were tortured to death for Musk’s neuralink bullshit (he wants to rush to human testing btw)
I’m all for it. Let any idiot that wants to allow that asshole to put a chip in their head get it. They can all speedrun themselves out of society.
I read it somewhere that these monkeys are bred for testing purpose just like chickens and cows are bred for human consumption but not sure how true it is.
Just as it still makes it not right for cows and chickens it makes it not right for monkeys. Or would you be OK if I was breeding humans for slavery purposes?
What’s your point?
Woah! You didn’t get the point. Life must be really hard for ya. What did you understand after reading my comment ?
It still fails the ethics part, lab animals are purpose bred however it should be scrutinised by a board of ethics
The biggest reason to never put anything like this in your brain is the idea that they could put ads in your brain.
Could?? No, not could. Will.
I mean, the high likelihood of developing an infection in your brain seems maybe a bit more concerning, but to each their own I guess.
My initial reaction to this was that would be preferable to ads lmao
Ads are kind of like brain infections if you think about it
Of course, I just meant more in the hypothetical ‘this technology is safe for human use and is being widely adopted’ stage.
Even if it was medically safe that’s still your least concern when it comes to IoT devices and network security.
Are there people still naive enough to believe this conman?
Elon wants to do this, Elon wants to do that…
Shut up Elon.
Anyone that would let that idiot near their brains already killed themselves putting light inside the body.
Desperate poor being offered a few dollars
If you are allowing a company that Elon Musk of all people is involved in to operate on your head, maybe the damage has already been done.
I’m all for transhumanism, and I sincerely hope that the people who are hopeful for Neuralink to be therapeutic for their condition find some relief. But nobody should trust anything Elon Musk touches with their brain.
Imagine delivering your vulnerable brain willingly to a troll like Musk
Seems like a better use of my brain at least.
Even your brain is worth more than that. Give it a hug.
I notice Elon has never signed up to go up in one of his rockets. I wonder how quickly he’ll sign up to get one of his brain implants?
Hopefully his own

Let Elon go first. He can’t possibly damage his brain more.
Every time that this topic comes up, I realize that a lot of Musk lovers will take themselves out of the gene pool here.
This sounds like the beginning of RoboCop 2. Specifically the part when OCP is trying to make a new RoboCop and the test RoboCops flip out. That’s kinda how I see this playing out.
Cyberpsychos immanent…who needs to wait for 2077…
Technically that kind of thing existed as far back as today in their universe.
