I didn’t even realize he had one to begin with.

I misread the title and thought it said “transplant”! I was reminded of an article I read on a plane 35 years ago which talked about a fictitious brain transplant.

Right off the bat, they pointed out that a brain transplant is a situation where you wanted to be the DONOR! The humor got better from there. I found myself laughing out loud on the plane.

I was worried at first, but everything went fine and I am well into recovery.

Elon Musk is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I’ve ever known in my life.

"EVs, those electric vehicles with the annoying reputation of having engines that spontaneously burst into uncontrollable flames"

Any bets on when one of those brain implants will blow?

EV failure and COVID-19 vax failure

Both are “Sudden”

Might not be a coincidence

“ He should stick to electric cars.”

You know he’s trying to explore ways to help the severely disabled and, IMHO, that’s not a bad thing. I wish him and the disabled volunteers well in this testing.

I know this is a totally crazy idea these days, but how some animal testing first....

😆 I was thinking of old Marty Feldman. By the way, how do they get people to volunteer to give up their brains, for transplant into someone else?

Thanks for the link. I wasn’t impressed at first until later in the video it was pointed out that the hand control was NOT ACTUALLY CONNECTED (which I had failed to observe until then). Then I was VERY impressed.

I really do wish Elon well with this endeavor but we all need to recognize that these are only the initial baby steps in this technology.

Neural link a astronaut in the space capsule via cable or short range telemetry to Optimus spacebot for near ship activities (repair and construction). Moon and Mars habitats also could use a version of tele operated human controlled human like robots for outside and subsurface operations.

No, but in the end, if it works, how many disabled will be able to afford it? How many people will actually benefit from it? Electric vehicles work, but who can afford them, or the batteries that go in them?

Yes, President Bumblen will walk up stairs. Will it reveal his thoughts about little girls? Yes, it will and it will give the results of their smell test. Will it reveal his influence peddling? Faster than a auctioneer can auctioneer: “300,000dollarsforthelandyouwanttobuyneartravisairbase. SoldChina!”

Will it read his thoughts with the proper Ap? Yes, you can get the download on ebay. PSsssss! Don’t reveal the Nuclear Code!

If Biden had a brain he’d be a conservative.

Same goes for ANY Liberal.

It’s one of my operative definitions of a Liberal.
