I don't trust " his research", nor do I trust the research of any legit organization he pays to proof his childish sci-fi concept.
It's not that a neuro-link type prosthetic implant couldn't be developed and useful eventually, it's that I don't trust Elon Musk not to shortcut the science for his ego project of the year.
His track record is not of a real genius scientist, it's of a clever rich brat who has bought out other's science or cheated to make his name.
