Why Is Neuralink More Interesting Than SpaceX?

Nworah Ayogu called Neuralink a more interesting company than SpaceX, because the brain is vaster than space. "A $3 trillion company?" is a scoff at that scale of thinking, capped with "What are we thinking?" People do not reach space, and people do not invent silicon chips, without the brain. The brain is the fundamental substrate that unlocked all of it. The brain is still a more efficient engine of compute than every chip NVIDIA has ever made.

Neuralink's president leads much of Neuralink and is a compelling leader. Passion is contagious, and excellence and talent density are contagious too. People who are truly N of 1 want to work with other N of 1 people. The team works on an important problem and was category defining. When Neuralink first did the work, no one else was doing it. Neuralink created the category and brought in everyone who cared about the space. As the work went forward, the lead only compounded.
