I want to see footage of him sitting with a congressional hearing while footage of monkeys scrommiting to death plays on live TV.
I wish he would get sentenced to using his own products.
- I'd say it should be a requirement for human integration tech that the CEO has to be willing to get the first one launched. But then there will also be people like the Titan sub guy who care nothing for their life either.
  
  There's no good way to deal with rich malignant narcissists that involves letting them stay rich, maybe
  
  Did you every see the Kids in the Hall movie Brain Candy? The big evil CEO runs a pharmaceutical company and he makes all of his employees eat copious amounts of the pill his company developed.
He should try it on himself
I’m okay with the government suing this smug piece of human slime, that is in the puss, within a boil, on the ass of humanity, into nothingness.
If they can use this as the catalyst that finally destroys him, then in my mind, it MIGHT have been worth it.
- No, no. He's got a point.
  
  Yeah, Elon
As fucked up as this is, thanks to these methods we have progressed in many fields. For this instance in particular, fuck Musk, this isn't necessary.
- There is a very meaningful difference between humane, highly regulated animal testing and what Musk is doing. Compounding this is the feeling that Musk's high profile is what's letting him get away with this in the first place. He wants to slap his name and face on everything for the credit when it's good, be gets to be the lightning rod when it's not.
- My main problem is that neuralink harms monkeys without pushing the science forward because musk bullied the best neuroscientists out.
- No yeah that's exactly the problem. Because it's musk, we can be confident it is just bullshit and won't result in any meaningful innovation. It's just torturing monkeys for shits and gigs.
