So then why would you trust the company? Wouldn't he direct them to do the same?

I would trust a random person who has been hired by Elon Musk more than I would trust Elon Musk.

I would trust a random person who has not been hired by Elon Musk, more than I would trust the first random person.

So the fact that I would find a Nueralink spokesperson more trustworthy than Musk himself doesn’t say that I have high trust in that spokesperson.

Fairly boring argument. My guess is it's true.

I too evaluate and critique arguments not on their reasoning, but on their excitement factor.

You did not make an argument that had any reasoning. You just said who you didn't trust.
