Thank you!!!Elon Musk’s Neuralink brain chip implanted in 1st human - National | Globalnews.ca
Neuralink implants are surgically implanted by robots because parts of the device are so small 'that they can't be inserted by the human hand,' the company states.
I hear you, but another thing that worries me is his involvement all over the place without proper safeguards put in place.Nope nope nope - it’s horrific. Especially because he made it, I can’t trust it’s on any good trajectory. He’s using disabled people as a pretext, an excuse. He wants power and control.

I realize there are other pioneers in the field, but Musks experiments with animals have not all been successful ( monkey implants) and 1500 animals have died or suffered greatly. Neuralink was only started in 2016...and now 2023 he's experimenting with human brains and the public does not know who this first human is, what the person needs this invasive surgery for and the expected outcome. Do we even know if it's only his company overseeing this procedure? Would anyone know if it goes drastically wrong?To be clear, he is not the only one working on this and others are actually ahead of him. This is only getting attention because it is him. Personally, I suspect Musk has a day of reckoning coming. Not specifically over this, but his whole approach to business. The only question is whether it will be regulators, competitors, or shareholders who come after him first. There's already grumbling on the Tesla front and he lost a court case challenging his compensation package there.
Elon Musk’s $56bn Tesla pay package is too much, judge rules
Judge ruled his pay – six times larger than the combined pay of the 200 highest-paid executives in 2021 – was set inappropriately
His trials have to be published and submitted to the FDA if he wants approval so there is scrutiny. This is a medical device. He even needed their approval to go to this step (which is mentioned in the article). And they can shut him down if there is a problem, though I know he will grumble loudly on X if that happens.
True, but will we know if he dies from this procedure...or will he just move on to the next one like his animal experiments?
We will know if he dies because the FDA will likely put a hold on the trials until they know why. But if he survives and life goes on, then we won't hear much until the results are published.
I think his newest "project" would be better served if he found a volunteer that didn't want to remain anonymous.
Why? Most clinical trials involved dozens or hundreds of people and we only see the aggregate data at the end.
I suppose because this is somewhat controversial with many unanswered questions that will create conspiracy theories that will affect the publics perceptions....including mine.
And the FDA isn't perfect...they have approved many things that have been found harmful and recalled. And people with their own money also seem to have more influence on others without money.
From what I understand it is an implanted disc at the base of the brain with wires that extend into different areas of the brain, depending what you are treating eg. Speech, memory, paralysis, strokes, plus more applications which may hopefully reverse conditions or aid in improving conditions .The apparatus in the brain is all connected to a computer.
I know … the universe, humanity, and the infrastructure of the planet - are like a personal playground to him. It’s obscene.
