Elon lied about the monkeys โ€” 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?

Not only are monkeys as intelligent as small kids. All monkey species are at least a thousand times as rare as humans.

These experiments sound like they've been done by people who don't know what they're doing?

Unfortunately, these experiments are being performed by people who know EXACTLY what they're doing. We're not in the 1940s any more. Fucking hell. If I had the personal power, I'd gladly rain holy hellfire upon these wholly inexcusable, inexorable, inexcrimentinable human fecal chunks.

Yeah those people suck.... Um, listen... I kinda just need to know what inexcrimentinable is supposed to mean
