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?

@ajsadauskas @technology Musk is trash.

@ajsadauskas @technology Holmes is female with less support. Musk is rich male with lots of "bros".

@ajsadauskas @technology The same with #AI and #Fusion reactors, everybody know they are lying but banksters like them. They are all men fraudsters.

I wonder what you guys thought animal testing is about, if this is somehow surprising to you. This is just another day at the office for the people running these experiments. The issue is not "Elon doing animal testing" but animal testing in itself.

However - if you think we shouldn't do it then you should also be aware of the tradeoffs. Without this cruelty there's no modern medicine either. Also, if you complain about this but eat meat then you're a hypocrite.

Well they didn't handle the monkeys up to the standard they where supposed to. That is an issue. Also saying not one monkey died due to the implant is also false.
