Elon Musk calls medical school 'pointless,' says robots will beat any surgeon in 3 years — telling students to walk away

Medical experts, however, strongly disagree with Musk's claims.

Moneywise

@MikeElgan

Yeah, where's autopilot for cars? Still five years away?

@MikeElgan But, and hear me out, what if the robot surgeons were also in space?

He should talk about how them full self-driving cars are coming along.

@MikeElgan

I say let anyone who wants surgery performed on them by Tesla get it.

Thin the herd.

@MikeElgan

He really is a dangerous idiot

@samiamsam @MikeElgan ---for sure, such a lack of thought - you can see here why he supports demented don.

@MikeElgan @mhoye Sincerely confusing why the media pays attention to, let alone hypes, anything billionaires say, seemingly entirely just because they’re billionaires. Particularly when the person has demonstrably always been wrong.

Being rich doesn’t make them smart.
Being rich doesn’t make them right.
Enough, already, with reporting on whatever thought falls out of their head.

@MikeElgan I want any prospective doctor or surgeon who thinks about Musk’s proposition for 1 second to walk away now. I don’t want them operating on me!
@MikeElgan Personally, I don't even like the practice of robot assisted surgery now. I've worked as a surgical assistant, and I know all that is required to prepare for a safe surgical procedure, and using a device that relies on electricity to perform the bulk of a potentially life saving procedure is a really bad idea.

@MikeElgan money will be useless in 3 years. Quick, billionaires, give all your money for free.

Oh, wait!

@MikeElgan I never want to be treated by anyone else but a HUMAN BEING.

@MikeElgan
Just can't fathom why any journalist would give space to that kind of bull shit.

(Well, I can, it basically comes down to bribery and corruption)

@MikeElgan good thing surgeons are the only kind of doctor
