Elon Wants To Drill A Hole In Your Skull And Stick A Computer In It Next Year

No days off for Elon. 

In between protecting the sanctity of free speech and getting his employees pregnant, Elon still has time to cure blindness and paralysis.

Yesterday, Elon hosted a "show and tell" for Neuralink, his company that is "developing ultra high bandwidth brain-machine interfaces to connect humans and computers." Translation? They're putting chips in monkey's brains which allow them to do cool shit with their mind… like playing pong or typing (well, technically the monkey was just following the cursor around).

And in the not so distant future (the next six months, according to Elon) they plan to start testing on humans with the goal of helping the blind see.

Here's a good recap. The full event video is probably better for a "watch this when you're high" blog…

Large, Intern Ian and I talked about it on Thursday's Short Squeeze. Apparently both of them would get a Neuralink jammed in their brain… but wouldn't invest in the company. Ian said he wouldn't be the first to get skull fucked by Elon and Large wanted it for obvious reasons. 

I, on the other hand think Elon can fuck right off. Why? Because apparently Elon killed 15 of 23 monkeys that Neuralink was tested on in the past 18 or so months.
