"'[Mike's] ready to give life up, people. Not an understatement.'"
"'Our family is really going through something terrible. My husband is eventually gonna die within a year or two, and there's nothing that anybody can do to help him,'"
"'I don't know where all of this came from, or why there would be anybody saying anything or creating problems where there aren't, or making malicious accusations. I mean, the Neuralink system is very helpful. They've been kind.'"
Mike Melgarejo is a 44-year-old San Diego survey technician diagnosed with ALS in 2022 who received a Neuralink brain implant in February. The implant allowed him briefly to work full-time remotely by completing basic tasks with his mind. His social media accounts went dark and a GoFundMe launched in June by family friend Ryan Biggs claimed he was 'not in a good place,' sparking online rumors that his disappearance was linked to Neuralink. His wife, Dalila, says conspiracy claims are false, that the family kept his health decline private, that rumors hurt them financially, and that his condition will likely be fatal within one to two years.
