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?

    I’d love to subscribe to this mentality, I cheered on COVID for eliminating so many of the dumb fuckers damaging this nation.

    But it runs counter to the role of government. Everyone in charge of Neuralink deserves jail time already, and it will only get worse if they let them experiment on people.
