Why should we? What's in it for us?
A job interview! (I wish I was joking).
Nothing, but then you could patent it and license it to anyone but elon :) are you motivated yet?
You can have a free "flamethrower" cigarette lighter. The company is bankrupt, and musk has a warehouse if the things he didn't sell.
I mean damn bro helping humans potentially walk again is a pretty big "for us" thing if you think about it in terms of humankind and not just yourself. Like imagine if someone were trying to cure cancer with the help of the public and you're all like "well what the fuck is in it for ME though?"
Imagine we all pooled our resources to fund medical research through taxes only for private companies to exploit the technology and jack up the prices…
A brain implant for rich people isn’t necessarily “for us”.
Oh but I'm not saying this out of selfishness, the problem for me is not the cancer cure in itself, but who is doing the research..
and not to forget, it's not been specified how the public giving the ideas, would benefit from it. Musk is not exactly known as the phylanthropic kind.
