[ExI] Elon Musk wants to implant millions with Neuralink brain chips

[Brent Allsop]

All this is moving towards the ability to backup and restore, which is the
key.
That even solves a bullet to the head, which is the real problem now.
And that is why we need Mars, for an Earth backup.

But of course Musk won't be able to do anything for color vision repair,
till he discovers the true qualities of whatever the stuff is that makes up
our subjective color visual knowledge.
See: "Physicists don't yet understand color qualities
