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
Reuters links to an incredibly long piece with some possibly informative stick figure drawings.

The risk of non-consensual is already ubiquitous and perpetuous - adding telepathy to the list won't make a big difference. Get over it.
You lost it long ago!
E.g. you don't have any privacy anymore (and you know it). Even if they could not read your mind, they can construct whatever they want about what you supposedly think... nobody's going to believe you denying it... 'cause they may be next.
It also doesn't matter if you believe me or not... they are after you anyway.
