    Yeah, I wouldn’t want monkeylink in my head if it was done by musk’s people. I’d rather have an expert neurosurgeon and the ones I know, who work in deep brain stimulation, they wrote off neuralink as bad tech a decade ago.

      Writing off a huge research project you know nothing about before it’s even started is a clear sign that their opinion is worthless.

      Musk has hired incredibly well educated people, I don’t blame you for hating him but that doesn’t tarnish the quality of anyone else

          No but they’re also very skilled, look at who’s on the team they’re incredibly well respected in their fields.

          You hate Elon that’s fine, it doesn’t mean everyone even tangentially related to anything with his name attached is bad.
