        Look, he’s all about free speech and free thought. But if people are going around using the wrong free speech and thinking the wrong free thoughts, they leave him no choice but to… Correct the problem. /s

          Don’t worry, Musk is a man of highest ethics. He would never rush such a product and risk people getting brain damage. Or extort them for subscription costs later. Just don’t ever Google “NeuraLink monkey deaths,” 'k?

            Or, you know, “[literally any medicine] [literally any kind of lab animal] deaths”

            Not a pretty picture.

      Agreed but also not like musk is really doing anything at any of these companies. He brings funding yea but then just takes credit for their work and gives publicity, although lately bad publicity

        He also tells them they aren’t moving fast enough and threatens to close the company if they don’t move faster. That’s how you get a quality medical device.

        If you’re gonna complain about the other models being good you should know he had nothing to do with any of them, other than buying the company and demanding workers sleep on the factory floor to meet fulfilment. Every company he is the face of was someone else’s ideas and effort, all the way back to the 90s. He supplies capital and in return people who don’t understand the subject matter assume he knows what he’s talking about because he gets quoted a lot.
