A brain implant could be a solution for people with brain damage or born deficits that help them regain lost abilities.

I would never have one implanted as a luxury gadget though.

I might get an implant from a responsible company

Musk is a lot of things, he is a liar scammer, an outright asshole, an incompetent idiot... but he's never been responsible.

What's a "responsible company"? Any public company could become irresponsible overnight if and when the shareholders demand it.

For one, probably a company without public shareholders. For two, a company that runs under very strict government rules

I would, but not in the early development phase.

I don't trust some billionaire with a direct interface into my neural abilities. I know Musk had no problems using his satilites to sabotage Ukraine's army to appease Putin.

True, but if/once it gets mainstream and has matured enough, and proper regulations are in place, I bet it can be a nifty tool.
