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?

    It was formed by merging his company X with Confinity. All he did was profit off it but many people seem to think he created it.

      To be clear, he did try to make them use his own work instead and it was awful so they pushed him out to protect the company.

      LMFAO, I had no idea this wasn’t even the first time he called his dumb company X. He really is obsessed with that letter.
