      we should echo this ironically as we cram one into his brain in a distinctly non-surgical manner

      People with locked in syndrome have occasionally been given early BCIs on this justification, but generally they're already consenting (IIRC the first real recipient of one had to have it taken back out at the end due to ethics requirements, despite wanting to keep it.)

    If a Simpson’s writer gave this line to Mr. Burns, it would be too psychopathic.

    I wonder what Elon really means by terminal. How elastic is the term? The monkeys were old? Or some of the monkeys were old? Or some of the monkeys might have been old? Or all the monkeys were adult monkeys so "terminal" means "not juvenile".

    I hope Elon takes his rocket to the Planet of the Apes and gets ridiculed by Dr. Zaius while locked in a cage.

    They just had a bunch of terminally ill research monkeys hanging about. That's definitely a thing that happens. It's definitely not like live primate studies are so hard to both arrange and get past an ethics board that most people just give up and go straight to human trials,
