Really weird discussion of the selling houses bit. Not at all a clear explanation of why he's doing it. Just this self-pitying "well people insult me for being rich" explanation. wut?

It's really painful listening to these two talk. Ten minutes in and I just want to go do anything else. Sticking with it because trying to get a baseline read of Musk is important for my gambling but I cannot imagine listening to them for pleasure.

Musk pitching wildly optimistic things for what Neurolink will do. I'm just going to go out on a limb here and predict he doesn't cure paraplegia etc. But it should be good for some additional capital raising if he needs.

"Generalized thing for fixing any kind of brain injury" This is so much more ambitious than Theranos. Anything you can imagine being wrong in the brain, this will fix it! Step right up! Even cures Alzheimers!

Joe Rogan is the perfect patsy for this type of pitch, because his reaction to literally anything is "gee whiz!" You could tell him you have a car that runs on water whose emissions cure cancer and he'll just tell you how wonderful you are and when it's coming out on the market.

There's not even any point in making technical objections to any of this because it's not at that level. This a sci fi fan turned pitchman. "Sure, everything you've ever imagined for brain implant; it'll have that. Data I/O; limb communication; fixing memory; etc."

This could potentially be very big along the lines of Tesla: never deliver what's promised but always promise more than anyone else, then deliver roughly inline results, and so keep attracting more capital to keep churning through the process.

And just casually promising that you can save and load brain state. Yeah, sure, no problem. "The possibilities are endless." Reminds me of Futurama w/ Cubert about what the meaning of scientist is. "No, that's what being a magical elf is all about."

This stuff would be great for a freshman dorm conversation. But it's not fitting for what I would like to see out of major leaders. This is certainly the archetype for our future though. Elizabeth Holmes just didn't think big enough.

Joe Rogan always likes to worry about absolute nonsense. Now he's on about worrying that language will go away because everyone will communicate through nonverbal brain implants. Yeah, that wouldn't crack my top 1000 concerns.

Can't blame the guy for worrying that his core business of recording himself talking out loud will go away.
