And for what? Under pretenses of "helping the disabled" it is private for-profit enterprise intended to make the marketing and surveillance state even more intrusive and pervasive. The "helped" disabled will be fucked the moment they can't pay up, or as is the case with so many cybernetics that already exist, they will be bricked as soon as the private corporations that produce them stop supporting them and leave the person worse off than they started. Or dead.
The comments are enough to damn the cult all on their own. Fuck these :reddit-logo: creeps.
Guy who'd rather pay osha fines than have a safe workplace would disregard ethical guidelines?? Say it ain't so.
PZ Myers is one of the few leftovers of the early aughts atheist crowd that isn't a complete dork
It's pretty obvious at this point that the only sort of implant that makes any sense is a simple connector with all the actual computation and driving done by a device worn externally. Anything else is a series of disasters waiting to happen.
It isn't like in the scifierinos, so it won't likely be done like that without a lot of pointless agony and suffering and death first.
I mean, my bet is on "it won't be done at all", personally, but with all the pointless agony and suffering and death anyway.
If they were really interested in helping the disabled, they would buy the patents from that one ocular implant company that went bankrupt and continue making/servicing that tech. It would also be 100% on-brand for Musk to put money into something like those super high tech wheelchairs that can go up stairs and hit high speeds, or those high tech prosthetic arms which are almost there but not quite good enough for daily use. Neuralink was always an investor grift.

:my-hero: is such a narcissist manchild that there's a chance he'll post that drawing himself on Twitter for top kek and lulz to trigger the SJWs. :so-true:
I mean, when you have smug tech bros, teenagers and the government reinforcing your behavior, why stop?
If adult levels of emotional intelligence and/or basic empathy aren't factors in that position, yeah, why stop indeed?
When Musk asks for human volunteers so many of these losers are going to do it just out of their devotion to their God-king. And the few that don't die from the inital trepanation will suffer massive brain damage from getting twigs and moss shoved into their skull.
I already didn't trust musk, but after working on Teslas the last few days, I'm even more distrustful.
How could anybody willingly put his brand of shit into their brains? Jesus Christ
Most comments are great, the weido Musk defenders are being downvoted. Shame on the mods for deleting the post though.
The mods can't have any "science" that isn't bazinga for the self-titled TechnoKing.
This post got away from me. Unhinged keyboard LARPing cringe. But, I’ve seen some worse examples here. (Low bar, I know.)

—edgelord content ahead; you’ve been warned.
I know that there are myriad reasons to want to kill this motherfucker… but this one is the hill I will die on. Like every other failure of a company, this has been needless suffering for some "420 69 weed blunt meme dude who is saving the world"1!! Every. Single. Project. Has been a failure to one degree or another. His entire adult life has been a string of undelivered promises. Motherfucker completely had 0 plans to help save those kids trapped underwater… and then tried to fucking derail actual efforts to help those people. He lied, had no ‘submarine’, no plans… then got all whiny when someone decided to take action — and tried to stop the rescue effort… because he got called out on his ridiculous lie… He. Needs. To. Go.
Here’s my initial thoughts-
I’ve decided that trying for a bullseye from a distance is too precarious. He’s always near too many people who don’t deserve to get splattered with his blood and skull fragments. I’d prefer to shove a double barrel sawed off 12 gauge in his face and give him both barrels. Point blank, right in the face. And if that proves too difficult, I’ll fucking suicide bomb him. Hug him and let ‘er rip. That’s the Valkyrie Approach, but not shying away from self harm.
The world WILL be better without him.
I hope he got over his head with neuralink and becomes a first adopter, and ends up trapped in 1000 billion years of simulated pure pain.
