Or I’m just american and have been called a variety of slurs through my life. Language has meaning, and even in other contexts it’s not necessary to use racist language. Describing someone as racist language is not the same as making a comparison.

Anyways, arguing with someone with the average intelligence of the test subjects is a waste of my time. If you love Elon so much I expect you’ll be first in line to test these out. Otherwise you’re just another dick riding idiot who’s fine with everyone else suffering so you can feel superior.

Thanks for using the word test subjects and avoiding the other racially charged options.

I hate Elon, but I can seperate the tech and what it can do for us from the persona. My point is that joining the hate train is the same as riding his dick. It's all emotion, there is literally no thought to it.

Brain computer interfaces are worth the monkeys*. Some things really aren't but this is. Concentrate on stopping the vanity animal testing, not this.

But it isn't about the monkeys* or the testing, it's all about Elon.

*a small to medium-sized primate that typically has a long tail, most kinds of which live in trees in tropical countries.
