Elon Musk Neuralink Weight Loss Brain Chip for weight loss, severe depression, morbid obesity, and sleep disorders has worried safety experts. They are concerned because putting these brain devices in involves surgery and risks.
He thought these brain computer interface (BCI) could help with things like feeling really sad, extreme weight gain, and trouble sleeping. But some people say using these gadgets for weight loss could be risky and not as good as other ways to lose weight.
These brain chips, like Neuralink, have helped people who can not move but using them to control weight makes people worry about what’s right and safe. The government said surgery for these brain chips can lead to problems like infections and the body rejecting the chip.
But there is another way to lose weight that seems safer. It’s a kind of medicine called “glucagon-like peptide 1 agonists” or GLP-1s. They were made for diabetes but they also make people less hungry by slowing down how fast food moves through your body.
GLP-1 Drugs for Weight Loss or Elon Musk Neuralink Weight Loss Brain Chip:- Expert Opinion
The government approved a GLP-1 drug called Zepbound from a company called Eli Lilly to help with obesity. Lots of big studies have shown that these drugs are safe and work well. They’re given as shots and work best when people eat less and move more.
GLP-1 drugs seem to be a better way to control hunger without the risks of surgery that brain gadgets have. But some people worry that controlling hunger, either with implants or drugs, might cause problems or be misused. Doctors say they can check if someone might have trouble with eating before giving them these drugs to keep them safe.

A study from a while ago called the Minnesota Starvation Experiment shows how cutting back on food can affect how people feel. This reminds us that being careful about ways to lose weight is really important.
So, using safe and good drugs like GLP-1s seems like a better idea for losing weight than using risky brain gadgets. Experts say we should try other ways to lose weight, like changing how we live or using medicine, before trying new brain surgeries, especially when we already have safer options.
