     @arstechnica Yeah, that "we're trying to make them click more" was a little oddly worded. I had this image of them applying increasingly strong electric shocks, and NOT in a Milgram way.

     @arstechnica This is like the prologue of a cyberpunk dystopian novel.

     Medical ethicists are alarmed by Musk having anything to do with science at all.

     @arstechnica I see a lot of pessimism and Musk hate in the comments. It could be bad but it could be good as well? right?

     @arstechnica Caplan and Moreno are worth quoting but Musk is not. This article and headline brings discredit on your publication by centering and quoting a liar.

     Please do not quote liars. There is too much of that going on these days.

     @arstechnica @arstechnica As a company that mixes gaming & healthcare, we are very interested in technological advances like that represented by Neuralink. The applications are staggering. As, we are sure, the risks might be as well.
