There can't be any objective discussions about Elon any more =) John Carmack finds Elon to be smart and really knowledgeable (listen to the latest podcast from Lex Fridman). And you would think HN trusts the words from Carmack? But most think Carmack, who knows Elon personally is wrong, and their opinion based on some random internet articles, is right.

Exactly. He lands rockets so he cannot lie? Is that a new law of universe?

People just can't give someone any credit if they don't like the person or they have slightly different political views, I guess it's just the times we live in, zero tolerance.

Do you at least get paid for this?

> With neuralink he was openly telling people for few years that his implants will solve their health issues.

He has invested mostly his own money in that.

Are you claiming there is no medical use what so ever for the technology they are developing?

Based on what knowlage do you make that claim?

> Implants that killed most of the monkeys in the labs.

What data is that based on?

> It’s disgusting to lie to people with really serious health conditions, give them false hope and likely have them reject other treatments, because Elon said he’ll fix them.

What? I have heard most of Neurolinks presentation and not a single time did Elon ever suggest that people just delay other treatments. Neurolink has clearly mostly done animal trials and product demonstrations.

I at least have never heard Musk claim that Neurolink would have a product on the market within a short time period.

Please provide sources for these claims?

I used to think like this, then I looked at myself.
