Bottom line is if the device is successful as they want it to be

That's exactly the problem. The animal trials didn't show any positive results. Those apes died for nothing. The product doesn't fucking work.

The product obviously works, do you all think the FDA would let them put a device into a human that only killed the animals and showed no positive results? This device is already in it's first human subject, the FDA isn't as lax as you seem to think.

Maybe you're right and the first human subject will die though, I guess we will have to wait and see. Hopefully you're wrong or that sucks for them.

Yes. The FDA can be bought just like all other government agencies. We are living in a late stage capitalist hellscape and Elon is one of the richest people on the planet. You need to realize that we don't live in a just world. Bad things often do happen to good people, and bad people often get away Scot free. Mark my words: the first test subject will die, and Elon will refuse to admit that there is anything wrong with his product and blame the victim.

Hey moron, just wanted to to drop in and link you this update. He's definitely not dead, and seems to be doing really well with his new brain control powers. https://x.com/neuralink/status/1770563939413496146?s=20

Lol, okay well yes the first subject definitely will die someday. Only time will tell what causes their death. Although brain implants of a similar but significantly more invasive type already exist in humans, I actually think this will be a safer product once flushed out compared to what's already available. I really think you all are over blowing the corruption level of the FDA, no I don't think they approved a device for testing that they thought would likely kill the first human patients.

Also, you know who hates musk as much as you guys? Joe Biden, who also appointed the current head of the FDA. They aren't that corrupt and especially not for any of elons companies.

I'll check back in a few years if I remember to say I'm right if the persons not dead, yes I am that petty. Feel free to do the same to me if they die, although bragging about that is a bit more grim.
