    It’s funny how upset people are that disabled people are getting new tech to help them simply because bad Twitter man owns the company.

      Musk has a history of cutting important safety and regulatory jobs to reduce costs. He runs extremely lean businesses.

      Maybe it will be different with a biomedical business but I think people are right to be skeptical.

      I think mainly people are upset about the animal abuse occurring because of the research at the company.

        You mean the animal abuse that occurs during research and development of practically every Type III medical device? I don’t hear a lot of people demonizing pacemakers though.

        I’ve never eaten meat in my life or worn fur, I’ve had the conversstions a lot snd know how people react to animal cruelty, sadly it’s normally indifference.

        If it was just the animal cruelty then it would be more then just nuralink people are mad at. The only reason it was a news story and none of the other things peta rage about are news stories is because people hate Elon, I hate Elon and I think they should all he news stories but I also try to live in reality.

        If we’re going to torture animals for food and medical experiments then giving control back to people with one of the most debilitating and distressing medical conditions is probably the best examples of justification to be made.

      I mean he’s not a bad twitter man, he’s literally spreading white supremacy and transphobia to millions on his rigged platform, I absolutely want him to fail the same way I’d want Henry Ford to fail in his time, I’d want a horrible fate to fall on them both regardless of what engineers at their companies end up accomplishing.
