Musk can't even make a proper ev why would anyone want a product of his in their brain.

[–] SatanicNotMessianic@lemmy.ml 57 points 9 months ago (3 children)

When the patient dies Musk’s team will write a report saying it was the patient’s fault.

Look, he's all about free speech and free thought. But if people are going around using the wrong free speech and thinking the wrong free thoughts, they leave him no choice but to... Correct the problem. /s

Don't worry, Musk is a man of highest ethics. He would never rush such a product and risk people getting brain damage. Or extort them for subscription costs later. Just don't ever Google "NeuraLink monkey deaths," 'k?

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago

Or, you know, “[literally any medicine] [literally any kind of lab animal] deaths”

Not a pretty picture.

They were thinking wrong.

Patient didn‘t tell them about their Bill Gates microchip duh.

[–] Lmaydev@programming.dev 22 points 9 months ago

Musk has literally no idea how any of the stuff these companies produce works.

A year from now: “First Nueralink implant recipient dead after it exploded in his brain, sending shrapnel directly through his frontal lobe”

[–] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 15 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Exploding brain implant is a cool way to die and a great punk band name.

"We're Brain Implant Explosion and we're here to make you afraid of the inevitable rise of the machine and stuff! One! Two! Three! Four!"

Elon, is that you?

Agreed but also not like musk is really doing anything at any of these companies. He brings funding yea but then just takes credit for their work and gives publicity, although lately bad publicity

[–] Bitrot@lemmy.sdf.org 14 points 9 months ago (1 children)

He also tells them they aren't moving fast enough and threatens to close the company if they don't move faster. That's how you get a quality medical device.

[–] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yea I definitely wouldn’t wanna be an engineer for his companies

[–] superduperenigma@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Sure beats being a test subject for his companies, though.

[–] Doorbook@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

If it would help making soldiers perform better it will get funding and approval..

Musk can’t even make a proper ev

Wow

[–] 1371113@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

If you’re gonna complain about the other models being good you should know he had nothing to do with any of them, other than buying the company and demanding workers sleep on the factory floor to meet fulfilment. Every company he is the face of was someone else’s ideas and effort, all the way back to the 90s. He supplies capital and in return people who don’t understand the subject matter assume he knows what he’s talking about because he gets quoted a lot.

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Oh you’re right. No CEO does any of their products. I see what you mean now.

He knows how to run a company that produces EVs, but he does not, in fact, produce EVs

[–] 1371113@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

He knows how to pump the stock. He has no idea how to run a company either. His skill to date is being clued up at a conceptual level on tech at a young age and being in the right place at the right time, having some charisma and knowing how to appear smaet. In terms of skill set he’s way closer to trump than an actual engineer or CEO.
