@elonmusk The world’s richest man risked jail, bankruptcy, and his life, spending $44B on Twitter for free speech, aiding Trump’s win over the Dems and creating the DOGE. He’s among the greatest humans of these centuries. Many far leftists want to kill him. Would you thank him?

@elonmusk My 17 year old son was paralyzed at T6 this past October - we are so ready for this. Praying for God’s wisdom, insight and favor on this effort.

🙏 87-year-old Shirley with Alzheimer’s cracked me up yesterday when we met. She said, “I am old but not THAT OLD!” 😂 She loved this video - called Optimus remarkable and became more excited, and lucid talking about the future! 😎She can’t remember where she grew up but she knows robots will be better than humans at everything. 😊

@elonmusk I am skeptical on this point. I believe that only God can do anything about life at all.

@elonmusk If he’s right, we’re staring at the end of wheelchairs and the start of sci-fi becoming science fact.

Translation: Paralyzed today, walking tomorrow. Neuralink isn’t a gadget. It’s a reboot button for the human body.

This is what media should also be talking about, just saying

@elonmusk I’d be happy with bladder control!

Elon Musk just stripped away every emotional narrative around paralysis and reduced it to a pure engineering equation. The human nervous system is not mystical. It is a biological wiring grid. When a wire breaks, you build a bypass. Traditional medicine treats a severed spinal cord as a permanent biological endpoint. Musk treats it as a broken routing switch. Musk: “It’s basically a communications bridge. You bridge the communications from the motor cortex past the point in the neck or spine where the nerves are damaged.” Not a miracle. Not a mystery. A bridge. Musk: “It is possible from a physics standpoint to restore full body functionality. There is nothing that prevents it happening from a physics standpoint.” The physics already check out. This is not a question of possibility. It is a question of execution speed. We are building AGI by mastering computational physics in silicon. Neuralink is applying that same mastery to carbon. The human body is not a sacred text. It is a machine. And machines can be patched. But this is bigger than medicine. Humanity’s ability to interface with superintelligence is currently bottlenecked by thumbs typing on a glass screen. Neuralink is the solution to that constraint dressed as a medical device. If you can bridge the brain past a broken spine, you can bridge the brain to a data center. Healing the paralyzed is step one. Merging with superintelligence is the endgame. Musk: “It’s a very hard technical problem, right, but there is nothing that prevents it happening from a physics standpoint.” Somewhere right now, a person is sitting in a wheelchair. An engineer is sitting in a lab. Neither knows the other exists. But one of them is quietly rewriting the definition of permanent. And it isn’t the one in the wheelchair.
