"We've got now three humans with Neuralinks implanted and they're all working well," Musk said

I thought the first one had more or less stopped working.

That's not true at all, that guy even wants a second one implanted for even more functionality, and he's extremely happy with it.

a bunch of threads retracted but it still works, plus it seems they fixed that for future ones

edit: guys look i know elon musk bad but these are really the facts http://youtube.com/watch?v=Xlv4biIY6JI

I'm pretty sure the opposite is what's true. The neural links degrade over time and the implant loses the ability to function.

More like the plot to Tim Burton's Batman Forever.
