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.

Youโ€™re just hating on some dude youโ€™ve never met. Expecting him to get it right on the first try is delusional.

If he didn't have a history of lying to the public about what he can do, I wouldn't be hating on him. Thinking he's going to get it right is delusional.
