In less than a day of training, both participants broke the record of all previous implants for a game which tests your ability to select items In a grid

Hate the man if you want but this isn't the same tech that anyone can get and use that's 50y old.
Aye, GSF above has a fundamental ignorance (and I mean that in the neutral, descriptive way) of what the technology is doing. Not going to comment on Musk's ability to run a company that performs these studies well of course but it's in clinical trials and there are plenty of punitive regulations in that system to control what people do. Also not saying Musk won't try to circumvent those like a impatient bozo though. ๐
And FYI, plenty of asshole scientists, CEOs, and inventors around discovering and making things that make the world what it is today. Musk's just the one you're hearing about right now.
