Elon Musk: "I can't make money if I can't torture and kill humans. It's the next logical step from all the other animals I have tortured and killed"
I find people shitting on neurallink a little silly. Animals die in animal trials, and if the device was the direct cause for them dying the device would not have been approved to move on to human trials. Or it was the device causing issues, the issues have since been resolved, because that's what animal trials are for if you weren't aware.
Bottom line is if the device is successful as they want it to be, it'll be fantastic for people with crippling disabilities. Shit on musk all you want for the shity things he directly does and says, but I find it stupid and childish how everyone trashes everything he has an ounce of attachment too.
Same thing with SpaceX, they are the most revolutionary company for space travel in the past 50 years and are doing amazing things to advance human space flight capabilities, but people just want to shit on them because of musk.
But that's just like my opinion man
Gwynne Shotwell needs far far more recognition regarding the success of SpaceX. Musk could do the song and dance and get the attention but without her they'd just be making really expensive tubes.
I don't know how much she was involved in ruthlessly squeezing every once of brilliance from the engineering team, and there's the whole Ukraine drone thing, but it wasn't musk that landed those rockets.
I'm well aware and that's why I have the opinion I stated above, the engineers at these companies are working on incredible things. These engineers are the modern day equivalent of magicians, it's magical and humanity should be cheering them on.
Oh yeah i understood ya, i was backing up what you were saying and kinda just wanted to give Shotwell a shout-out for anyone that doesn't know about her role there. :)
