Have there been any reviews by independent experts? This reads like a promo piece, in particular I'm not sure why the fluff bits about Musk "being a regular guy" are relevant. Most of the linked sources are either other Fortune puff pieces or Neuralink press releases.

Reviews by independent experts about the quality of this guy's life? I think he can be considered an authority on that subject.

Not if you're being paid to be there.

See: Yeonmi Park and the absurdity of her stories that are essentially a product of South Korea's day-time TV.

(North Korean refugees typically can't get work permits, some of the little work available is telling people how bad NK is. It is illegal to say anything good about NK in SK)

An exaggerated example of people lying about their lives for their new livelyhood. Relax.
