This is a publicity stunt to get more funding.

It would be if the FDA hadn't approved this. This is the most puzzling part.

I don't see Neuralink taking the legal risk, regardless of what the FDA says. The approval is part of the publicity stunt IMO.

I don't think they'd care about the legal risk from people who'd sign up. However it'd be pretty bad publicity having them all die

Hey now, that's not fair. Some of them might just end up paralyzed or brain dead.
