Well that’s the main issue isn’t it? It’s not that the idea is bad, it’s all the cut corners on safety and quality. Same reason I won’t be getting into one of Elons cars or rockets.
Comment on Elon Musk’s Neuralink reports trouble with first human brain chip

That stuff is EXPENSIVE though … So he must of cheaped out with a cheaper metal and that’s why it corroded.

I hope he chose to cheap on monkeys because they’re viewed as expendable in the eyes of many, and hope he actually used the good stuff on people.
He’s the type of psycho to say no to expensive implants on the monkeys because they’re “just monkeys”

Yes, and those are the ones I make.
