Voyager 1 will be one light-day from Earth on Nov. 13, 2026. A signal from the probe—traveling at light speed (≈300,000 km/s)—will take about 24 hours to reach us as it continues its trek through interstellar space. 🛰️

It's cool and very normal that because elon is an obvious scam artist, we have no concrete actual information at all about what Neurolink specifically is or does other than that it kills thousands of test animals.
That's it, *all we know* is that it is a device for torturing and killing animals.
