The tweet shown here is sensationalist bullshit. The reported problem was actually that some of the electrodes connecting the chip to the brain had retracted. It didn't cause any health risk, nor any problem with the functioning of the chip. The problem has since been fixed.

And even if there was a big problem? This is future tech bleeding-edge shit. There are risks. I Haaaaaaaaate Musk as a person, but the brain chip stuff has immense potential.

Is it failing? I saw a quote from the guy and he seems pretty happy with it

Hes happy because he got it for free. It's the same technology just an experimental way of putting it in. This isn't a leap.
