Brain implants are hardly something new. Neural stimulation has been going on for over fifty years snd since 1997 have been used to ease the symptoms of such diseases as epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, dystonia and depression. Recently in Switzerland a 40 year old man paralyzed from the waist down for the last 12 years was able to walk again with a neural bridge implant. These are medical devices and Elon’s Neuralink is exactly that. Certainly more sophisticated with added and specifically designed capabilities. If you’re not suffering from paralysis, epilepsy or some other malady why are you concerned. What, you think it’s some kind of mind control device? That’s idiotic.

Most billionaires are quirky and daring….what else do they have to do?
