Death cult. No joke here, no hyperbole. Death cult.
EDIT: To me, starting with people with paralysis and taking advantage of their desperation to do underegulated shit that already caused untold suffering and death to primate subjects is still death cult shit in the way it's tricking people into false hope and sloppy pseudoscientific "experiments" for the sake of the fever dreams of the cult leader.
Neuralink said in a blog post that it was looking for people who had paralysis in all four limbs because of a spinal-cord injury or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
Hey business insider you really buried the lede there. The opening makes it seem like they’re just talking about bazinga brained morons
I think if I'd lost the use of 90% of my body I'd be extra protective of the 10% that still works and not eager to let
sloppily jam some dangerous shit in thereThey're still bazinga brains
Honestly, I think being trapped in your body might be a motivating factor to try anything.
Hey now, one of those blinded ape freaks could get hit by a truck and qualify soon
Could you imagine if it worked? And it was the human instrumentality project made up of bazinga-brained redditors? What a wondrous and grotesque being would be born. I cannot imagine a more fitting ending for this accursed species
Don't worry, the 40 year olds getting this chip will be near the end of their life spans so if they die it will be from natural causes.
We can't blow up the first three. That's not an option here
We will blow up the first 3 million like that scene in KingsmenThen company goes under or deems your implant non-profitable and stops supporting it and now your brain implant software doesn't work. That's already a thing with other medical devices.
Whenever I read about this shit I always have to think about Adam from Doctor Who.

Is "Shivon Zilis" a normal name somewhere? I can't tell if my brain is rotting
you made me look her up and wtf did i just read
Elon Musk and Neuralink manager Shivon Zilis decided to have children together after the tech mogul spoke to her about his population doomsday fears

Planetwide catastrophe imminent, therefore must individually breed with lumpy apartheid prince
Is this a eugenics thing? Like I'm sure some of his supporters actually believe his genes are important for humanity and need to be passed on. I wouldn't be surprised if more than a few of his fans would think a crisis killing millions of people would be great because we could repopulate with billionaire DNA, who obviously have the -b e s t- genes.
That was the implied part of the take of that one extremely
youtube infographic series (Kurzgesagt I think) that used to do pop science interest videos but decided to bootlick for Bill Gates and started doing "billionaires ruling over us are cool and good actually" takes and the capstone of that propaganda was the climate collapse video that announced that it would be "a victory for humans" if even 1% of the world population survived because that would magically mean the world is somehow inhabitable again (instead of continuing whatever death spiral killed 99% of people) and that the elect 1% would reach the stars and otherwise attain science victory win conditions like in the 4x treats. 
Anyone else notice that the thumbnail looks exactly like
?I have to struggle to not feel liberal emotions about the worst reddit brained people on earth linking up to have their brains literally melted for a change.
It’s so wild to me how an endeavor like this (if it even actually becomes a thing) is in the hands of the private industry instead of, idk, fucking brain surgeons
reasonably sure that brain surgeons wouldn't touch this with a ten ft pole
