Especially when they cannot be wrong and will force their underlines to lie, falsify data, etc.

This tech has a place in actual medical researchers hands. Not this soy boys sweaty piss fingers.

You want to show the world how cool your new tech is? Get the procedure done on yourself first before you're allowed to experiment on anyone else. I bet that would slow down his desire to push out unsafe ideas to fulfill his greed.

Oh my god I’d love for Elon to be in alpha testing.

Or we wind up with Titan 2.0. Given how many stupid situations of his own causing Musk has survived it wouldn't surprise me if he'd do it and then be shocked when his head explodes from a bad battery.

I'm willing to trust them a lot more when it's not literally brain implants.
