    After what happened to all those monkeys I still can’t believe he got permission to move to human trials. You’d have to be stupid or insane to volunteer for this.

      Musk has perfected the self selection of morons, I’m sure they’ll have plenty of test subjects to toy with

      Wow, thank you for linking that article, I hadn’t read it yet. That’s absolutely horrible, and it doesn’t surprise me that Elon has orchestrated something so cruel in the name of progress.

    This really might be the one that gets him. It’s one thing when self driving doesn’t quite work right or when that tunnel project gets abandoned. If they install these things and people get seriously hurt (I know cars can hurt people) it’s going to be a shit storm.

          What is actually known about Musk’s drug use? I heard he was on Ambien and he obviously smokes weed now and again, what else is our little genius hopped up on?

          Edit: I have zero evidence for this but I can’t see how Adderall or something similar is not involved. He’s Aspie so its a little tricky to seperate that out but I dont know how anyone that “productive”/active isnt on something Xtra

          Edit: by heard I meant Musk said it, whilst smoking on JRE

            Truth doesn’t matter to Musk, so we should care about the truth when talking about him. He lies, promotes white suprmacist rheotric and conspiracies. The whole Twitter buy thing seems so odd. What a dipshit.

    Rather appropriately, allowing Elon Musk’s crew to operate on your brain is proof that you do indeed need brain surgery.

    I’m never getting one. If it ever gets to the point where I have to get a brain implant as a condition for a employment, and all the jobs are like that then I guess I’ll just be homeless.

    The fact he hasn’t had one installed himself shows he has no confidence in his product. Please don’t go on twitter and tell him he shouldn’t sell products he refuses to use.

    There’s so much we don’t know about the brain, I can’t see implants being anywhere close to a success until the brain is significantly better understood

    I hope this is the beginning of The Fall of the House of Usher Musk.
