I Am Fascinated By Technology

So what do people think about Elon Musk's idea of digitizing the human brain?

https://www.engadget.com/2017/03/27/elon-musk-neuralink-ai-cranial-computing/

Would you want your brain digitized? What if it could be digitized and then at some point have it put back into a body? Or a cyborg? or live on in a computer simulation?

Can't help thinking this is a totally flawed concept. Given the way the brain works with repeatedly forming and changing interconnections between neurons, at best only a snapshot in time could be digitised in this way.
