A brain implant could be a solution for people with brain damage or born deficits that help them regain lost abilities.

Musk is a lot of things, he is a liar scammer, an outright asshole, an incompetent idiot… but he’s never been responsible.

For one, probably a company without public shareholders. For two, a company that runs under very strict government rules
