Elon lied about the monkeys โ€” 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?

As .much as I want to agree with this..I go back to the opiates crisis we had... they followed Purdue quite religiously over kick backs for prescribing opiates while knowing the lie Purdue and it's family were selling.... I really can't imagine this will be much different... only a few doctors will stand against it this time, while many more will enjoy the kick back until public out cry becomes too much... which will take years and multiple deaths..

This is arguable. What is clear is Perdue lied about the addictive nature of their products and funded "research" that furthered their sales. What is much less clear is how they would be responsible for how the entire body of medicine developed an approach to pain management that involved symptom relief through the prescription of opiates
