You are investing to make if a reality. But many times many things fail to become reality or it becomes reality after some time. Neuralink is still in its early stage for you to call it a scam.

      Look, the dream of being able to control our computers and devices with our thoughts is not the same as Neuralink. Neuralink is promising that dream but it is a scam to steal your money. You don't have to give up that dream to realize when someone is scamming you.
      Hyperloop is also a scam. It's never going to happen.
      Elon promising to make a colony on Mars is also a scam. It's not going to happen in our lifetimes. We can barely establish colonies in the harshest regions on Earth. Mars is a thousand times harsher. Musk is a con-man not a genius.

    I think it would be better to go to the root source of what's causing the pain. Using something like this that takes the load off is just going to make the supporting muscles weaker and make your knees even weaker. More likely to have pain.

      point taken, however if you do PT you know there are limits to what muscles can do when people have a long history of osteoarthritis and other joints than the originally affected are already showing signs of OA too because of longterm compensation. If you said this was a useless tool then you would also have to argue that artificial joints are a scam and I would believe, at least in a certain number of cases, knee and hip replacements absolutely make sense and can give people a new quality of life.

If you watch this video carefully, you will find that to function properly, this product will have to be customized according to the customer's needs. That is because everyone on this planet has a different body, posture, and attitude. Because of this tailored-to-fit nature, these products are expensive and will remain expensive.
      Just look at those prosthetic legs, arms. A prosthetic leg of moderate quality will cost you around $5000 and upwards. And even at this price, they will last around 3 to 5 years. Then you have to replace them, either entirely, or at least some parts of it.
