I could also say that the neuroscientists I follow don't seem particularly impressed with the research coming out of Neuralink (unlike the rocket people who are all impressed with SpaceX), and also the man himself seems to be using his wealth and sales skills to try to radically shift the Overton Window in several countries including both where I live now and where I grew up, so less benefit than the headline suggests for a higher cost than letting a man-child be a man-child.
