If it's safe why isn't he volunteering?

While I haven't read up in detail on it, from what I've osmosed from headlines and blurbs, I believe the Neuralink program is aimed at healing specific issues such as blindness? He probably wouldn't qualify even if he wanted to.

(Of course, he doesn't want to, because he knows perfectly well he's selling a dangerous lie, but we can't really get after him based on "why isn't he volunteering" I think.)
