Siripala is a middle-aged Sri Lankan man living with his wife and a teenage child. He has been diagnosed with diabetes and, in addition, lost an arm in a brutal accident. This unfortunate event reduced his ability to work, leading to a significant decline in his family's income. The family now faces serious financial challenges. Despite his circumstances, Siripala has two potential opportunities ahead of him.
One option is a traditional job that would not be impacted by his disability, allowing him to continue contributing to his family’s income and maintaining his current way of life.
The other opportunity is a new offer from Elon Musk to be a Neuralink test subject, which will provide greater levels of monetary compensation but also comes with potential future health risks due to the unproven technology. Additionally, it would require him to be flown to the US, thereby sacrificing a sense of normalcy.
Siripala will also be provided with a bionic arm and a job at one of Elon Musk's companies, contributing to society.
