This is the "evil" person whom liberals are trying to assassinate and attack every day.

This is science creating a miracle - We would read about this in the bible when Jesus restored the vision of blind men.

Thank you, Elon, for everything you do for humanity, from restoring freedom of speech to rescuing astronauts lost in space.

Thank you for your involvement!
 
Musk is desperately in reputation damage control at the moment. Which is why I expect he came out with this at this time. Get back to us when there is actually a blind person who can now see using Musk's tech. I would love to be proven wrong, but I suspect the timing of this announcement is all about politics rather than science.

There is a difference. Jesus didn't announce his miracles in advance. He just did them and let the world see the results. And he didn't enrich himself by having desperate people throw money at him.

Ohferchristsake.
Wipe off your chin.

Elon didn't have to rescue astronauts lost in space.

He also didn't have to step away from his role in making great cars to help eliminate fraud and waste in the government.

Thanks Elon. A modern day miracle man!

Donald Trump created a job in government for his friend, the richest man in the world. A man who's companies do billions of dollars worth of business with government departments and agencies, a job that involves scrutiny of government department and agency budgets.
And Trump made it so this man can do this job in secret, brought his DOGE under the umbrella of the Presidential Records Act. Any guesses why Trump would do that?
The richest man in the world has bought the US government.

Musk hasn't done that. Not a single person in government has been referred to the DOJ for prosecution as a result of DOGE activity. A lot of people have temporarily lost their jobs, but no criminal activity has been uncovered anywhere.
 
James Marion Sims. Adolf Hitler. Advanced science but were evil.
The Schrodinger's cat guy? Pedophile that groomed a 14 year old.
The modern radio inventor was in Mussolini's Fascist Grand Council and was a diehard fascist.
Henry Ford was an anti-semite greatly admired by people like Hitler and Heinrich Himmler.

He’s also the guy who called the head of the team that successfully rescued Thai children stuck in a cave a “pervert” after being told his idea to send in a robot would never work. The guy’s a shitbag, even if his unprecedented wealth means he occasionally funds something useful.

Musk didn't create this technology, many different research teams have been developing it for decades (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_prosthesis#Ongoing_projects). The Bionic Eye Project has already restored vision for people: https://www.fightingblindness.ca/resources/the-bionic-eye/

Orion Visual Cortical Prosthesis System is another one that has shown promising results: https://www.cortigent.com/orion

Musk has unfortunately often made promises that don't come to fruition. He promised to donate 6 billion dollars to end world hunger, and ended up donating Tesla stock to his own foundation instead (which had only donated 1% to 5% of its assets to different charities and organizations, very far from 6 billion dollars, and most had nothing to do with ending world hunger). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musk_Foundation

Musk also promised a high speed rail that would take you between NYC and LA in 45 minutes (Hyperloop), but he has since abandoned that promise too (https://www.theverge.com/2022/11/3/23438755/elon-musk-hyperloop-tunnel-spacex-remove-parking-lot).

He actually did since NASA has scheduled a mission to do just that for February of this year with SpaceX.
 
Hitler built the Autobahn, started animal welfare programs, brought back prosperity to the German people, greatly improved on rocket technology, and was on the brink of an atomic bomb. SO yeah, great people can accomplish great things, so Musk is in good company.

If vandalizing a Tesla is an act of terrorism, does that mean insurance companies don’t have to pay the owners and dealers for repair or replacement?

A good act does not wash out the bad, nor the bad, the good.

If this works this is undoubtedly a great thing, but if someone believes that many other of his acts are bad, then this should not really affect their perception of those acts.

If you think Elon is doing this out of the kindness of his heart and not future profit potential, I've got some oceanfront property in central AL I'd be interested to sell you.

You are having a very hard time unloading that AL ocean front property.

Yes and this will work just like his self driving cars. Musk is famous for making big promises and never delivering. He even recently admitted that is much hyped Mars mission is likely to be one way. Who wants to be the first human to die on mars?

Elon Musk admits he was wrong — after 9 years of saying the opposite, he fails to deliver on his promises about autonomous driving

Musk and an unfulfilled promise.

Back in 2016, Musk assured that his new vehicles would have enough hardware to achieve full autonomous driving, but time has spoken and has been displacing the older hardware versions leaving them completely obsolete, and it has not been one but four Tesla updates that have promised heaven but have given crumbs to its customers:

  • Hardware 2.0 (2016): First version with the promise of full autonomy.
  • Hardware 2.5 (2017): Some minor improvements, but not yet ready for unsupervised driving.
  • Hardware 3.0 (2019-2023): Tesla assured that this was enough for “Full Self-Driving”, but now Musk says that it is not.
  • Hardware 4.0 (2023-present): The newest version, which could be the first to allow true autonomous driving.

And what is the problem?

The problem is not that the update is taking too long, but that thousands of people paid more than $12,000 hoping that when this technology was ready, it would be implemented in their vehicles, and now they feel completely cheated by Tesla and its CEO, Musk (and we understand that perfectly)

Yeah, sure.

Captain Ketamine says lots of things and funds lots of ideas.

When you’re the richest man on the planet with hundreds of billions of dollars, you can do these things.

Let me know when and if this actually comes to fruition.

I'll believe it when we see it.
