I'd agree, but my dad had a very nice brain implant that he kept charged via wireless charging. He basically had a computer where a pacemaker would go, and we could adjust parameters with a specific charger that not only charged his implant but spoke with the computer. He ended up having three favorite settings (one for one type of dyskinesia, one for a different type of dyskinesia, and one for good days) although we'd joke that his [favorite sport] skill upgrade download was coming in the mail any day.

Your description is not something I am worried about or what they want. It is an implant to do a very specific task and nothing else.

This isnt what Musk and other tech billionaires want.
