Hey @elonmusk what is the possibility of me controlling this with my link?

If you are in the Austin, San Antonio, Dallas, area head to The Boring Bodega on Sunday and meet @DeadManRolln
Even though I am dealing with one of the world's worst diseases, I am able to keep a positive mindset because God has blessed me with everything I would ever need. And I always remember that one day I will fly

ALS is a fucking menace. ALS is a fucking monster. ALS is a piece of shit. I hate it, I would never wish this upon anyone. But I would have it a hundred times more if it meant that nobody else I love could never get it.
My doctors were telling me my legs were just about gone, but I decide when, and that’ll never happen. At the annual ALS walk, which was my first time, I walked the whole thing and never stopped. It was exhausting, but I had to send ALS a big “FUCK YOU” message somehow.
The best part? I wasn’t alone. I saw how much love and support I have. So many people came just to cheer me on. People from the other side of the country flew in for me. When I tell you that yesterday was one of the most meaningful days of my life, I can’t understate it.
Thank you to everyone who supports me, no matter where you are. I’ll do us all the favor and beat this dance I have with the devil; I’m a tough son of a bitch with a massive army.

I totally agree!
@DeadManRolln put it perfectly. Neuralink's BCI and eye-tracking are not even in the same league.
I live this every day. I'm Neuralink patient 3, the first with ALS and the first nonverbal. As a full quadriplegic on a ventilator, this is how I communicate. Speed, accuracy, outdoor use, phones and computers without relying on your eyes. Totally different.
This piece covers Zach's take after trying both, his surgery at @BarrowNeuro, and why caregivers keep calling out the pain points of eye-tracking. Worth reading if you care about what @neuralink is already doing for people with ALS and quadriplegia.

Great podcast tonight with the fellas and an amazing lineup. Neuralink patient and former veteran who teaches people how to use FSD!
Thank you to our special guests @DeadManRolln and @techtutorusa2. Great job fellas @ElectrifiedH4 @CyberAmped @RetiredYoungNW @bauminater
Very excited to be a part in this event! Big shout out to @JoshWest247 and @AustinTeslaClub for setting it up for me and rather quickly, might I add. The consistent support has left me speechless every single day. Thank you for everything. I am so stoked for the 15th.
Imagine controlling a computer with just your thoughts.
Join Tesla Owners Austin for an exclusive fireside chat with Zach McManus @DeadManRolln , Neuralink Patient 22, as he shares his journey living with ALS and how @neuralink is changing what’s possible.
