There’s a market for this if the tech is good enough and the side effects and reversibility are reasonable. I don’t think it’s particularly likely that Musk is the person to make it happen, but Doc Ock my shit up when it’s ready.

If the technology functions properly, patients with severe degenerative diseases like ALS could someday use the implant to communicate or access social media by moving cursors and typing with their minds.

“Imagine if Stephen Hawking could communicate faster than a speed typist or auctioneer,” Musk wrote. “That is the goal.”

This are the most depressing, appalling and stupid remarks that could come from someone developing this technology.
