After what happened to all those monkeys I still can't believe he got permission to move to human trials. You'd have to be stupid or insane to volunteer for this.

Musk has perfected the self selection of morons, I'm sure they'll have plenty of test subjects to toy with
I don't know... I feel brains are in short supply around Musk.

Anyone getting this shit will die just like every single fucking monkey test subject. If they don’t die, their suffering will be unbearable

Go on Elon, show us how it’s done and take the first one
This is some Josef Mengele shit. He better be held accountable after this inevitable shit show.
Wow, thank you for linking that article, I hadn’t read it yet. That’s absolutely horrible, and it doesn’t surprise me that Elon has orchestrated something so cruel in the name of progress.
In the name of money*
This really might be the one that gets him. It’s one thing when self driving doesn’t quite work right or when that tunnel project gets abandoned. If they install these things and people get seriously hurt (I know cars can hurt people) it’s going to be a shit storm.
defintily musk is not gonna be prepared for this one
Virgin Bill Gates: "The covid vaccine doesn't contain any microchips....I-I promise!"
Chad Elon Musk: "I will literally microchip your brain"
He doesn't care. His followers will defend him and tell you that he is god send and he is the smartest guy of mankind.

Rather appropriately, allowing Elon Musk's crew to operate on your brain is proof that you do indeed need brain surgery.
I'm never getting one. If it ever gets to the point where I have to get a brain implant as a condition for a employment, and all the jobs are like that then I guess I'll just be homeless.
My brain runs arch btw
As if it wouldn't be super illegal to hack it and remove the tracking software. AKA Windows 11 BE (Brain Edition).
Imagine the subscription service to your brain, that if you don't pay, you get turret syndrome or something lol... Actually, it's not funny, but sadly, that'll be a thing for sure...

There are few companies products I want in my body less than from anything that Musk is involved in.
The fact he hasn't had one installed himself shows he has no confidence in his product. Please don't go on twitter and tell him he shouldn't sell products he refuses to use.
So Elon is the first one to get one, right? What do you mean, he doesn't want one?
Uhhh after you Elon
I'm sure there's tons of Muskrat fans who'd love one but unfortunately they don't have brains.
Let’s test it on the Elongate Muskrat first
Musk should be the first.

That is a fascinating read, I had no idea how far multiple companies have already gotten on neural impulse translations and practical implementation.
Thanks, this Com is just awful about paywalls

Let him be the first patient.
Sounds like a great idea, and I’m sure it will work just as well as Tesla FSD. Cost a lot of money and get people killed.

Just wait until TwittX is a mandatory app on the link, lol.
The US FDA is a captured organization. This operation won't even pass a research level ethics commitee.
I know there was a lot of ableist bigotry involved and it was problematic for even more reasons but...
Them mofos are paying for darwin awards.
My pop-corn is ready, any time now ^^
Uhhhhhhhhhh
There’s so much we don’t know about the brain, I can’t see implants being anywhere close to a success until the brain is significantly better understood
To be fair there are brain implants in use already but at a really simple stage (epileptic treatments, at least they did exist in like the eighties).
