So reading what was posted my concern is that medical startups that sell it properly aren't prepared for several decades of supporting it.

I'm quite supportive of disability assisting technology and the ability to use machines to connect the brain to the body or prostheses are things I'm generally in favor of (when the disabled are consulted and listened to).

Now, Elon's cyberpunk nightmare version of this where minds and computers are swapping thoughts directly? No, I'm not on board with that. Fortunately it doesn't seem to be anywhere near the horizon.
