The only usefulness this has is to help someone who can't do that.

I can’t tell if you know that the patient is quadriplegic?

I can't tell if you know Musk wants everyone to buy his dangerous deadly crap.

Maybe, but that is not particularly relevant to the article, and

We've all been playing Mario Kart with our minds already, using our mind to manipulate those fleshy sticks attached to our shoulders. It's fuckin amazing.

is quite an ableist thing to say when the subject at hand is a literal quadriplegic person playing Mario Kart.

Lmao blocking someone for criticism? Kinda cringe if you ask me.

Probably thinks that I’m a Elon Musk fan, when the exact opposite is true. Why denounce a Musk-owned company for improving the life of a quadriplegic person when there are a million more valid criticisms to be made?
