    In an interview with the Journal, Neuralink’s first patient, 29-year-old Noland Arbaugh, opened up about the roller-coaster experience. “I was on such a high and then to be brought down that low. It was very, very hard,” Arbaugh said. “I cried.” He initially asked if Neuralink would perform another surgery to fix or replace the implant, but the company declined, telling him it wanted to wait for more information.

    Neuralink isn’t just treating humans like guinea pigs, they’re treating them like disposable guinea pigs.

      The patient fully embraced the Elon propaganda and spouted his praises on the dozens of media interviews he agreed to.

      No sympathy for someone who invited a leopard into their house to catch the mice
