Musk: Neuralink has a chance to restore full body functionality after spinal cord injury

Elon Musk stated that Neuralink has a chance to restore walking and arm usage for spinal cord injury patients. The post contrasts this with the traditional medical approach of "adaptation" (ramps, wheelchairs), assuming the injury is permanent. Musk's cautious use of "chance" suggests a tangible technical breakthrough. While the odds were previously zero, the brain signal and body response mechanism remain intact, requiring only a reconnection.
