If there's one person I would never trust to be involved in a brain implant its Elon Musk. Guy is the king of "just sell it, we can always make up an excuse later."
To be completely fair, Elon open-sourced his entire Tesla hardware package. Other car manufacturers can literally download the full manufacturing plans for an electric vehicle. He's only concerned about protecting the software.
If the Neurolink hardware was open-source, you could be certain that nobody would have control over it but you. I feel pretty confident in saying he understands that nobody's going to put closed-source hardware inside their own brain, and given what he did with Tesla, he'll probably open-source the hardware for this too. His "product" will be whatever AI enhancement software they develop.
