I reckon this guy is a massive problem.
Yes.
This could be a problem.
Primarily because as you identified Musk himself is the problem.
Having a Maverick Narcissist lead brain implants with significant resources and a cult of followers is troublesome.
I am comforted by the fact that broadly speaking he is full of shit (sorry but I do not rate people based off their ability to make money by being a typical Sociopathic Narcissist - look up Sociopaths and CEO's).
Musk is intelligent, the world is full of intelligent people, the thing that got Musk where he is - is his persuasiveness. His ability to manipulate people is his hallmark and consistent with his personality traits.
Some people see Musk solve re usable Rockets and think that makes him a great man, but where is the pay off for humanity?
Others see the proliferation of non Bio fuel vehicles and think he is a savior of humanity - me, I humbly admit I cannot assess this since it is well out of my area of expertise, however when I listen to the guy, he sounds like the CEO in the movie 'Don't look up'.
The safe guard about neural implants is that for you and I, the average Joe, they will be less palatable than Covid vaccines x 1000
