Hey FDA? I ask again: why y'all out here letting the world's most divorced man put chips in people's brains? Especially after nonhuman animal testing killed **65% Of The Subjects.**

I ask again, again: What in the ACTUAL FUCK is going on with us as a species right now, because it all seems VERY BAD.

Elon Musk Says Neuralink Has Implanted Its Chip in a Human for the First Time

The billionaire says that the patient who underwent the startup's experimental surgery is "recovering well."

And so y'all don't misunderstand me:

My problem is that he COULD do this if he wants *Because The FDA Approved Human Trials.*

Which means he doesn't have to lie about having DONE it, just about whether it actually does anything meaningful at all & doesn't just, y'know, straight-up kill people.

The FDA approved human trials for this. Approved letting THIS MAN actually claim he's working on BCI, even if all he's REALLY doing is cracking open some poor volunteer's head and digging around in there like a kid with their own tub of ice cream except to no meaningful end.

And that was, again, AFTER we knew how many nonhuman animals he killed in the early phases of all this shit.

What the fuck

@Wolven but it's not approved as a therapy for any medical conditions so basically the only people getting this procedure are volunteers who are not making a decision under duress because of their health, right?

So are you saying it's wrong for Elon Musk to kill the kind of people who would let Elon Musk put a chip in their brain, or

@[email protected] oooooo, my friend, the phrase "the kind of people" is a phrase you don't want to be using like that in this context. Dear lord did you read your own words before hitting send?
