Elon lied about the monkeys — and he shouldn't be trusted to put his Neuralink chips in human brains.

"They are claiming they are going to put a safe device on the market, and that's why you should invest," Ryan Merkley at the Physicians Committee, told Wired. "And we see his lie as a way to whitewash what happened in these exploratory studies."

Really heartbreaking reading what happened to the monkeys.

People quite rightly think of Elizabeth Holmes as a fraud for making false medical claims about what the Theranos machines could do. So why aren't Elon's claims at Neuralink being held to the same level of scrutiny?

Elon fanboys should be lining up to try this, right?

Yeah, the dumbest and worst people will be dying to get this. I don't see a problem

Which is why I'm totally okay with it being allowed. If you're stupid enough to get one then maybe we don't need you around anymore.

Holy shit, please have them sign up in record numbers! This could turn out to be a service to humanity.
