In an interview with the Journal, Neuralink's first patient, 29-year-old Noland Arbaugh, opened up about the roller-coaster experience. "I was on such a high and then to be brought down that low. It was very, very hard," Arbaugh said. "I cried." He initially asked if Neuralink would perform another surgery to fix or replace the implant, but the company declined, telling him it wanted to wait for more information.

Neuralink isn’t just treating humans like guinea pigs, they’re treating them like disposable guinea pigs.

The patient fully embraced the Elon propaganda and spouted his praises on the dozens of media interviews he agreed to.

No sympathy for someone who invited a leopard into their house to catch the mice

If such a person doesn't deserve sympathy, who does?

Starving children in Gaza, who will never see their families again because they’re dead

So unless someone is bombed and starving they deserve no sympathy? What kinda brain dead take is that?

As brain dead as putting those words in my mouth

You said verbatim, that a quadriplegic guy hoping to regain some control deserves no sympathy and then immediately went to war orphans in Gaza. I'm not putting anything in your mouth you didn't shit out of it before

That’s not what I said. That’s just what you wanted to hear so your tantrum could be justified.

Perhaps if you spent Less time making up lies and more time learning how to read, you wouldn’t be in this predicament.

Yeah, everyone who signs up for experimental medical trials is a stooge.
