@GottaLaff This worries me. But he said he was gonna do it on himself first so I say let him go for it.
@kristophr What worries you? His horrible testing? If so, yeah, let him go for it on himself.
@GottaLaff oh testing, use case, his own ego standing in the way of his being humble enough to know better whether or not to try on people. He's always standing on the shoulders of people who actually know things so I fear he will kill a lot of people doing this. But what do I know?
@kristophr You know more than he does.
@GottaLaff and that's scary 😂
@kristophr @GottaLaff Elon Musk’s potential interest in artificial wombs scares me, too.
