Elon Musk’s neurotech startup Neuralink implanted its device in a human for the first time on Sunday, and the patient is “recovering well,” the billionaire said in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Monday.

I hope the patient was musk, and I hope he shoved it up his own ass.

Musk is the one who deserves the implant, to the extent that anyone does. But they’re presumably trying to figure out if it’s interfacing with the brain properly, and how would you ever tell with his?

I’m not going to believe this until there’s independent confirmation. Musk lies and exaggerates all the time.

Yeah, we have no reason to ever take Musk at his word

If a university researcher wants to do something like that, it has to pass an ethics review. Is there something similar for private companies, or does it just need the patient’s consent?
There are probably thousands of weird nerds that would do and sign anything to get Daddy Musk to notice them, so surely that isn’t enough?

Was it implanted in an otherwise healthy person? Somehow don’t think this person is now “more healthy” with the implant.
