During a virtual speech to the Samson International Smart Mobility Summit in Tel Aviv, Israel, billionaire Elon Musk compared the work of his for-profit brain-chip company Neuralink to Jesus Christ who healed people for free, reports Market Watch:
Restoring control of people who are tetraplegics and restoring sight I think are pretty big deals. They’re sort of what I might call Jesus-level technologies.
Musk promised Neuralink will give a patient its Blindsight implant for the first time by the end of this year. He also promised again that Tesla will have autonomous vehicles — without safety drivers behind the wheel — operating in a “widespread” capacity by the end of 2026, which he has promised many times before, but failed to deliver.
