    I had to stop reading. I don’t like progress if this is the cost. I’ll just continue to type out my critical comments with my fingers…

    I get why they do monkey trials, but the part where it said that the one dieing monkey was holding it’s cellmate’s hands really gets to me. There needs to be a better way.

    Monstrous. I know he’s a narcissistic sociopath but how do the lab techs, researchers, and veterinarians that worked on this sleep at night?

    Every word uttered by a conservative is either deception or manipulation. Every word. Why would anyone ever believe anything Elon says?

    The psychopath probably enjoyed watching the monkeys suffer. I’m surprised he didn’t make a “funny” tweet about it.

      An article published detailed what it was like working with Elon Musk at Tesla. Apparently, he rarely, if ever, has any idea what’s going on in his own companies.

      Basically, the dude just says things. He has no idea how most of his products or software work or anything. He just says things.

        He doesn’t have to know how the monkeys suffer to watch the monkeys suffer and it’s just the sort of “entertainment” I would expect someone like him would enjoy. I have no evidence that he is, it just wouldn’t surprise me in the least to find it out. He’s a sick, sick man.
