Do we have any concrete evidence that he’s even telling the truth? Something other than a tweet on a platform he owns? He seems to lie often.

Smells a lot like "Funding secured" or any of the other insane promises he's made.

There's the hyper loop, the cyber truck missing deadlines and quality concerns and range lies, all of the Tesla delays, etc

That said they did FDA approval for human trials last May https://www.reuters.com/science/elon-musks-neuralink-gets-us-fda-approval-human-clinical-study-brain-implants-2023-05-25/

Don't forget that time when he held up a piece of glass, pointed to a house behind him with a glass roof, showed a presentation of power output metrics and dualrability tests, and said they made solar roofs and just needed to figure out how to manufacture at scale

They had not, in fact, made a working prototype - they were still trying to figure it out. He stood up there with a piece of pretty glass (that was not in fact any type of solar panel) and entirely fabricated test results, and he lied over and over.

He must've gotten some artist's design model, produced several roofs worth, and made all of it up.
