Editor's note: ...for
Neuralink, the frequently cited registry of more than 10,000 sign-ups represents only a waiting list, not demonstrated success or widespread clinical use. Fewer than a dozen individuals, primarily chosen from highly sympathetic cases involving severe disability, have received experimental implants, a strategy that
frames the technology as inherently benevolent while obscuring its likely expansion beyond therapeutic applications. The device remains invasive and a high risk, with limited independent verification of results and outcomes largely reported by the company itself, contributing to a significant gap between
public perception and scientific reality. As public acceptance grows (natural resistance must be shattered) for the normalization of surgically implanted brain-computer interfaces and the transfer of intimate neural data to powerful technology interests, fundamental questions surrounding ethics, privacy, long-term safety, and the broader implications for human autonomy remain unanswered, warranting serious skepticism and organized opposition at this early stage. We suggest
Elon Musk (see
Fooled You: DOGE Lives And It Is Still Remaking The Government) experiences the
Neuralink himself with a full implantation to let us know how it works out.

Elon Musk signals mass production and automated surgery push at Neuralink in 2026
Musk says Neuralink will scale brain implants in 2026 as his companies line up major bets across space, AI, and transport.

Elon Musk said his brain implant company Neuralink will begin "high-volume production" of its brain-computer interface devices and transition to an entirely automated surgical procedure in 2026, according to a post he shared on social media platform X on Wednesday.
