It would probably be wiser to implant a bullet in your brain then let that man do neurosurgery on you.
I really hope this technology advances enough to help people in their daily lives. By neuralink or other people idc as long as it’s good.
He should be an example and do it himself.
He should do the same with “flying to Mars” first.
Both at the same time
Yeah that’s not going to happen.
He absolutely will. Granted it’ll be after all the little kinks like meningitis, aluminum poisoning, spontaneous ignition, malicious hacking, eternal nightmare states, blindness, cancer, and cluster headaches are ironed out. 90% death rate, babyyy
How crazy would it be tho if we found out he really was an early adopter, had one put it in a decade ago, and that’s why he’s so bat shit now?
Did kanye west get one too?
We can dream
Not if that brain chip malfunctions.
How would that be worse than the infant idiot we deal with now?
Just like colonization of Mars. He can go first, with or without others
Another weird thing that Conservatives want to do.
While complaining that “the left” are trying to inject tracking chips into our bodies.
Many of their conspiracy theories are distractions from the very real and very scary conspiracies they’re actually engaged in
I do love this. They worry about Bill gates doing this, a guy who is primarily focused on putting toilets in Africa… When an electric car guy (they used to hate electric cars) wants to literally microchip peoples brains but also gives mega money and a platform to the GOP, he’s great, no conspiracy theories to be found here.
Elon Musk wants to do a great many things he can go cram up his butt and twist hard.
The thing he seems to have forgotten is that unlike the automotive industry where the regulation is designed to allow companies to fuck up then fix things as long as they have the systems in place to fix the fuck up and to know when they fucked up, the medical device industry is very much designed so that the default stance is “this is dangerous and will kill people” unless you can prove otherwise
I thought the default stance was to leave people in life crippling debt for having the audacity to use the hospital.
Only in the States.

You’ll get all of Elon’s brain farts beamed straight to your brain.
I bet this evil fuck has all kinds of patents around this idea so when someone who isn’t a psychopath James Bond villain wants to help people with disabilities by developing a similar device…they won’t be able to.
Day 1 after implantation: this is great! I now have photographic memory of everything! Best decision ever.
Day 20: I’ve memorized so much so fast, I’m going to have to go for the next higher up subscription level to unlock more storage.
Day 200: I’m running out of space again. Going for the plus subscription.
Day 600: ran out of storage space again. I can’t afford the next higher subscription. I’m going to have to start deleting unnecessary memories. My brain has lost its natural ability to make and retain memories by itself. I can’t even function on a daily basis without free storage space.
Day 700: I have run out of memories that I’m willing to part away with. I still can’t afford the higher subscription. Luckily there is a cheaper tier. All I have to do is give NeuraLink full access and rights over my memories for marketing and AI training purposes.
Day 900: They have increased the cost of subscription. I can’t afford it. I’m going to lose half of my storage space. I have two days to choose which of my memories to keep. The rest will be no longer accessible to me, but will still be used by Neuralink for their own purposes as they own those memories now.
Day 1200: the chip will no longer be supported next month. I can’t afford the new model. It will be disabled in 30 days.
Day 1235: I have just found this diary. It explains a lot. I only wished it told me what my name is.
So the plot of Johnny Mnemonic?
Well done, do you write for work/hobby?
Nah, I’m just a bored guy on the internet
Well kudos bored guy on the internet. It was a riveting read.
You forgot the part where you agreed to let them harvest your organs if you fail to pay your subscription fees.
Also, suddenly you’re unable to say negative things about Elon Musk for some reason.
He hopes to woo advertisers back by beaming ads directly into your most treasured memories
I want to implant Elon with 00 buck
Cool, he can want whatever he wants, but I’m certainly not going to be one of them.
Bold of you to assume you’ll still have a choice.
Not a chance.
I have a couple former coworker friends who slob this dude’s knob all the time. One of em is staunch anti-govt (but loves his orange dictator obviously) and refuses flu shots from work every year because according to his this year is the year they start micro-chipping people.
Both of em would be the first in line for musk’s chip
With their consens?
Ok now the “number of the beast” types are starting to sound a lot more logical somehow…
