Elon Musk's latest venture aims to bring a product to market within four years, but it could be additional decade before healthy people get "neural lace" brain implants:

Tesla Inc (TSLA.O) founder and Chief Executive Elon Musk said his latest company Neuralink Corp is working to link the human brain with a machine interface by creating micron-sized devices.

Neuralink is aiming to bring to the market a product that helps with certain severe brain injuries due to stroke, cancer lesion etc, in about four years, Musk said in an interview with website Wait But Why.

"If I were to communicate a concept to you, you would essentially engage in consensual telepathy," Musk said in the interview published on Thursday. http://waitbutwhy.com/2017/04/neuralink.html

    I didn't expect a

    its highway robbery conducted by a violent imposed monopoly;

    I was more expecting an non-consensual telepathic exchange from Eland Musky: What did we used to call that, again? The analogy holds; if consensual telepathy is possible, so is non-consensual. And sometimes "No!" means just "no". Get out of my head, Elongater! Rat Lungworm of Venture Capital! Oh, the Horror, the Horror!!!

    ... you don't talk to the Colonel. You listen to him. The man's enlarged my mind. He's a poet-warrior in the classic sense. ... I mean, I'm no, I can't – I'm a little man, I'm a little man, he's, he's a great man.
