#2In the 90s they did something similar, wiring up some poor soul who did not have any other options with a bunch of wires to make him walk by wiring impulses from the brain to the legs eventually to abandon him with all the wires still plugged up into him when the funding was cancelled. Please don't be that guy. This is very far fetched and totally science fiction and much like most of Musk's other schemes, or maybe like Elizbeth Holmes schemes, does not really match up with reality of what's possible.

#3After just reading that recent article about working conditions at Tesla and the struggles there to produce at high enough quality levels, it is surprising that he is working on this as well.
One can't help but to take it seriously considering his other achievements, but I hope he doesn't stretch himself too thin.
- Tesla
- SpaceX
- Boring Co
- Neuralink
- Flamethrower innovator

> Flamethrower innovator
It was a small project or just sidekick. It's done
>Boring Co Seems like no struggles there. Tech is established
>Tesla They scaled it and are out of production hell
> SpaceX Things are going smooth there. They have nailed landings and launches. No immediate fires to address
Looks like Elon have some capacity to focus on other endeavors.

Didn't they already prove they can send images, feeling etc.. through the net from Chimp to Chimp. And more recently done this with humans? I 100% agree about not leaving these people in an unstable and uncomfortable state as that's inhumane, but I don't think we should be saying this isn't possible or reality.

Yes Chimp 2 verbally described what Chimp 1 saw in great detail so it was completely proven and could not have been a fluke as much of science these days tends to be so they can justify more funding.

The only fires that SpaceX needs to address are the actual ones, like at the launchpad explosion a couple months back.

#8Will there be a bug-bounty program for the wireless brain interface?

Neuralink has a CEO, board, other employees. It functions with or without him.

You are reading to much into random news articles. Detailed breakdown of the Tesla (done for other car companies) actually show that the were incredible innovative and have the highest quality of software, electronics, batteries, electrical engine and so on. All aspect that are way more important then that the panel caps or the plastic covers on your car are perfect.
I don't think he is involved with Neuralink at the same level as Tesla and SpaceX. Those are his primary projects, everything else is a small part.
