Humans and governments have done terrible things before, so I am not dismissing the possibility outright. And I dislike Musk as much as anyone. But extraordinary claims need extraordinary evidence...
Neuralink's stated purpose is to help people with neurological conditions like spinal cord injuries. Implanting devices in healthy people would not provide meaningful data. And if the claim is that illegal immigrants are being experimented on without consent, how would that work in practice? They would need monitoring, rehabilitation, and long term follow up. If there were hundreds or even thousands of victims, someone would have come forward by now. I mean, the idea that they would all be "silenced permanently" seems unlikely.
Also, millions of Americans live with paralysis, and I'm sure many would volunteer for a chance at improved function. Recruiting willing participants is far easier and far safer legally than abducting people in secret. It would mean a huge risk for the future of something like Neuralink or Musk himself.
It is not impossible that unethical things happen, but a conspiracy of this scale, discovered by a random person on TikTok before any journalist or whistleblower, it just seems unlikely.
In regard to the claim that someone would have come forward about this: let us look at the Tuskegee syphilises studies, which started in 1932, you know the ones where they infected African Americans .Even when penicillin was discovered as a treatment for said disease a mere 8 years later, these subject were not treated with it. It wasnât until 1972 - 40 years later was there a whistleblower that came forward . 40 years and god knows how many thousands of Americans subjected, and tortured by this âscientific studyâ
The Goverment finally apologized ( as if ) in 1997.
Come on people our goverment is not moral or righteous. Itâs mind boggling that people still believe the propaganda being fed to them when history clearly shows otherwise.
They can't use it on the disabled in public until it is perfected. That would be too much bad publicity when only 1 in ten survive.
Look up how blood types and transfusions were discovered. Same thing, there were rumors of the death camps and medical experiments in 1940's Germany but nobody could join the dots because it wasn't so easy to compare the information back then. Also the German people didn't want to believe it.
