Elon held the chip between his forefinger and thumb.
“You are sure that these can now be inserted via automated surgery?” he asked the Neuralink technician.
The technician nodded.
“And no need to remove part of the skull anymore?”
“Correct.”
“Excellent. Ramp up production immediately.”
“Are you worried about the FDA—”
“You leave the FDA to me. You get this ready for the over a thousand patients who will be looking for it in 2026.”
“Of course, sir. Happy New Year, Mr. Musk.”
As the technician left, Elon smirked.

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"
