Are you trying to suggest that the guy who thought driving Teslas in tunnels underground was the most efficient method of transportation shouldn't be trusted with inserting chips into people's brains?

He didn't actually think it was the most efficient. It's way worse. He knew he could get a proposed high speed rail line killed so it wouldn't cut into his car sales. He did not care one bit what happened after it died. Everything else was his PR team.
Oh for sure. He was absolutely sabotaging the proposed train network and it unfortunately worked...
The train from LA to Vegas is under construction. The problem in Vegas is that the casinos don’t want you leaving their property unless you’re headed to another property they also own. Musk’s tunnel just goes to the convention center and is obviously not a serious solution.
And also all our monkey cousins died. :(
When is Elon releasing the Neuralink chip with Full Self Driving Autopilot?
When he lands on Mars or gets a vacuum train running.
For doing chores, going to work, school, listening to your SO complain about something. The applications are limitless!

No lie ... if they could make a chip that like ... Shuts off cognition while I'm at the gym so I don't have to experience it ... I'd consider it.
I really hate working out.
have you seen the show Severance? This is exactly the premise of that show.
This is older news. The company is competing with PETA in most animals killed.

If you saw the build quality of Teslas, and his handling of Twitter, and him calling a diver a paedo, and you still thought "I should let that man perform medical experiments on me", then you probably fucking deserve it tbh.
Just go for it. What's the worst that can happen? You get double brain damage?
Eh. He’s an asshole of the highest order but I imagine some people are willing to take the risk, given the impact it could have on their lives.
I’m talking people who just exist at the moment and something like this might be beneficial to them.
To be 100% clear, because yall some bitches at times. I find Elon an abhorrent person. Twitter is wank, Tesla is dead in the water and the boring company is just that.
Why is his face so punch-able?
I think it's 'cause we know more about him. I think if we knew he was a whimsical dude and legitimately trying to help people instead of enriching himself, we'd see these pics and give him a bit more of a pass.
Because he looks like a smug bastard

I've been doubting all the claims about the guy that had the chip installed too
What a pic.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
But anyone who’s ready to raise their hands for brain surgery might want to hear what one of the Neuralink co-founders recently said during an interview with the Wall Street Journal.
The Wall Street Journal podcast The Future of Everything recently sat down with Dr. Benjamin Rapoport, a neurosurgeon who co-founded Neuralink with Musk and a team of scientists back in 2016.
Rapoport left Neuralink to start his own company called Precision Neuroscience and one specific part of the interview really stood out to us.
Brain-computer interfaces have made tremendous strides in the past decade, allowing people to literally control machines with their thoughts.
Companies like Musk’s Neuralink tend to get all the headlines, but there are a number of firms, including Synchron, Paradromics, and Precision Neuroscience.
Neuralink has received plenty of criticism over the years, with MIT Technology Review calling it “neuroscience theater” back in 2020, and horrifying allegations of monkey torture were revealed in 2022.
