I mean, I’d like to be surprised that a technology driven by a techbro with the “move fast and break things” mentality has broken because of moving too quickly into human trials, but…
I guess we should just count ourselves lucky that the poor human test subject patient wasn’t permanently harmed by Musk’s raging arrogance.

I’m shocked that the human trail was authorized at all, considering the fate of the monkeys that were subject to the same. I’m not confident that this man or any future subjects will be truly safe. We won’t know even if something goes wrong.

Yeah, I’m surprised as well. I assume it’s a reflection of how weakened regulators have become that no one was able to say “no” to Musk.
