Guys before freaking out too much and stopping to the title: these experimental brain computer interfaces exist since the 60s, in various forms, and they're actually pretty useful for disabled people. I actually have researched and wrote about it last year for a college project, and it's safe to say Musk only developed further what was being tested in the last 10 years. It's a leap in medical technology, whether someone will use it to cause harm it's a different thing.

Right now they're only testing the implants for a good cause. 

I'm just saying anything Elon Musk touches will crash and burn. His marriage, his cars, twitter, and that poor test subject's brain

Yes, I get it 😂 but still it's not his own creation

I do not mind the fact that it's being used to help disabled individuals. In fact, that's an amazing accomplishment.

However, if it's successful...the grubby little hands that latch onto it in the future is what I'm worried about. That's just me. I just hope it stays being used for a good cause.
