After what happened to all those monkeys I still can’t believe he got permission to move to human trials. You’d have to be stupid or insane to volunteer for this.
Musk has perfected the self selection of morons, I’m sure they’ll have plenty of test subjects to toy with
I don’t know… I feel brains are in short supply around Musk.
He has lots of people obsessed with him who do believe anything he says.
Anyone getting this shit will die just like every single fucking monkey test subject. If they don’t die, their suffering will be unbearable

Go on Elon, show us how it’s done and take the first one
This is some Josef Mengele shit. He better be held accountable after this inevitable shit show.
Wow, thank you for linking that article, I hadn’t read it yet. That’s absolutely horrible, and it doesn’t surprise me that Elon has orchestrated something so cruel in the name of progress.
In the name of money*

UC Davis veterinary records cited by the Physicians Committee—which WIRED also obtained through a subsequent California public records request—chronicle a battery of complications that developed following procedures involving electrodes being surgically implanted into monkeys’ brains. The complications include bloody diarrhea, partial paralysis, and cerebral edema, a condition colloquially known as “brain swelling.”
Additional veterinary reports show the condition of a female monkey called “Animal 15” during the months leading up to her death in March 2019. Days after her implant surgery, she began to press her head against the floor for no apparent reason; a symptom of pain or infection, the records say. Staff observed that though she was uncomfortable, picking and pulling at her implant until it bled, she would often lie at the foot of her cage and spend time holding hands with her roommate.
Yeah. I think I’ll pass.
That last line man. Wow.
Poor girl was in serious distress.
I think whomever it was at the FDA that approved this shit for human trials needs to be investigated. It reeks of corruption.
Rather appropriately, allowing Elon Musk’s crew to operate on your brain is proof that you do indeed need brain surgery.
This really might be the one that gets him. It’s one thing when self driving doesn’t quite work right or when that tunnel project gets abandoned. If they install these things and people get seriously hurt (I know cars can hurt people) it’s going to be a shit storm.
defintily musk is not gonna be prepared for this one

What is actually known about Musk’s drug use? I heard he was on Ambien and he obviously smokes weed now and again, what else is our little genius hopped up on?
Edit: I have zero evidence for this but I can’t see how Adderall or something similar is not involved. He’s Aspie so its a little tricky to seperate that out but I dont know how anyone that “productive”/active isnt on something Xtra

Virgin Bill Gates: “The covid vaccine doesn’t contain any microchips…I-I promise!”
Chad Elon Musk: “I will literally microchip your brain”
He doesn’t care. His followers will defend him and tell you that he is god send and he is the smartest guy of mankind.
I feel like this isn’t a fanboy situation. If he actually goes through will this and people get fucked up the hammer will fall hard and fast.
I’m never getting one. If it ever gets to the point where I have to get a brain implant as a condition for a employment, and all the jobs are like that then I guess I’ll just be homeless.
My brain runs arch btw
As if it wouldn’t be super illegal to hack it and remove the tracking software. AKA Windows 11 BE (Brain Edition).
Imagine the subscription service to your brain, that if you don’t pay, you get turret syndrome or something lol… Actually, it’s not funny, but sadly, that’ll be a thing for sure…
Mark of the beast aside, alterations to the mind like this are insulting God in Christianity and Islam.
I’m not getting this or any other chips.
The real problem will be when employees simply can’t be competitive without it and not having it will relegate them to jobs for severely disabled people.
Are glasses an affront to your god? What about braces? Cochlear implants? How about ventilators? Synthetic insulin? Should I keep going or did you get the point?
Fuck Elon Musk and the inevitable shit show that’s going to happen during the human trials, but it’s got nothing to do with any god.
No. Just no. The problem isn’t anything having to do with religion. I absolutely do not subscribe to the notion that we shouldn’t improve technology just because “it makes humans too godlike” or some shit.
Governments and corporations already abuse the fuck out of smartphone “privacy” as it is. No way in hell I’m giving these authoritarian bastards a direct link to my brain.
There are few companies products I want in my body less than from anything that Musk is involved in.
Uhhh after you Elon
He already had it implanted. That’s why he is so fucked up.
The fact he hasn’t had one installed himself shows he has no confidence in his product. Please don’t go on twitter and tell him he shouldn’t sell products he refuses to use.
So Elon is the first one to get one, right? What do you mean, he doesn’t want one?
Yeah bruh fuck everything about this.
What do you mean? You see no potential for anything good coming from this at all? I certainly see some things to fuck about this (including the asshole payroll ING the project) but not “Everything”
I discount quite heavily any knowledge that may come of this because musk is a goddamn egomaniacal child. I take all of his shit with a heaping dose of skepticism. Put a serious thinker in charge and I’d have a different opinion.
Yeah he will fuck it up and use it for evil, but the science is sound and this should help the race for commercialization and improved safety for reanimation implants only available at super selective research levels currently. Don’t be a luddite about any potential for good. Most things are shades of grey guy.
I see a select few medical devices benefiting from this, which they would have eventually gotten to anyways without musk and his extremely poor research methods.
I’m never getting anything like this. Doubly so if it’s developed by big tech. The possible benefits don’t even get close to outweighing the negatives
Curious, do you mind sharing how many extremities you have that are paralyzed? I would weigh your input accordingly
I guarantee musk isn’t going to be healing paraplegics with this. That research is being done by medical professionals who haven’t killed all their test subjects.
This is being done to make as much money as possible at the expense of as many lives need to be sacrificed to get there.

But I use Wayland.
NICE
but still: etc/gdm3/custom.conf WaylandEnable=false
Har har har! Whew. That one’s a lil rough :P
I’m sure there’s tons of Muskrat fans who’d love one but unfortunately they don’t have brains.
Let’s test it on the Elongate Muskrat first
Can’t wait for them to start beaming ads directly into our brains
Yeah that happens in the 2009 movie Hardwired. That’s not a future I want to be part of tbh.
I already get Lighspeed briefs ads in my dreams.
