Elon lied about the monkeys — and he shouldn't be trusted to put his Neuralink chips in human brains. (aus.social)

Elon lied about the monkeys — 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?

Once he'll start losing investors' money his lies will catch up to him. Nobody's asking questions as long as line goes up.

@jonne @rood
What makes you think that?
tRump's lies have been exposed, and the media is still pushing him as a savior.
They're doing the same with Melon Husk.

SBF, Holmes, that woman that faked having 30m users on her platform, etc. And Trump never fooled most people, he's been known to be a con man since the 80s to anyone that's been paying attention.
