I view the author list of industry papers more as a sales-and-marketing thing than as a real list of contributors, but shouldn’t that be “Neuralink and E. Musk” anyway? The equivalent of the P. I. putting his name first like that is unorthodox.
It depends on the field. My understanding is that in physics, it’s accepted to put the PI first. Seems weird to me, but I’m coming from biology, which is a PI-last field
