The people signing up for this suffer from serious illness and probably doing it out of desperation, not some adoration for musk.
Personally there is no level of desperation that could get me to let a Nazi put a chip in my brain, but fair enough.
if I were almost completely paralysed and someone promised me being able to interface with a computer, I think I'd at least consider the offer.
Reminds me of a blind person that received an experimental eye implant to help them see, and the implant suddenly shut down while they're walking outside because the startup went out of business.
