- “Elon Musk’s brain-chip company Neuralink is facing a legal challenge from an animal rights group that has accused the company of subjecting monkeys to ‘extreme suffering’ during years of gruesome experiments.”
- “Police in South Pasadena said in a statement Tuesday that, contrary to Musk's assertions about the incident, they believe a member of Musk's security team hit a man with his car and accused him of following him.”
- The co-creator of Dogecoin says it’s a “right-wing, hyper-capitalistic technology” in this thread detailing why he’s changed his mind about cryptocurrency and who it actually serves today.
- 🗳️ WHO IS THE WORST PERSON IN TECH? 🏆 2022 saw tech leaders move further to the right, crack down on workers, scam people out of their money, and find new many ways to make the world a worse place — but who was the worst? Make your voice heard and get your choice to the top!
- After five days of voting and tens of thousands of ballots cast, 32 candidates were narrowed down to two PayPal billionaires. Now, in a very tight race that came down to the wire, the votes are in and a winner has been chosen. 2022’s Worst Person in Tech is… 🔮 PETER THIEL 🩸
- A huge win for companies whose whole business model is premised on decimating workers’ rights. A massive loss for Uber drivers, Instacart shoppers, food couriers, and other gig workers. Now we have to stop #Prop22 from being replicated in other jurisdictions.
- 🚨 SEMI-FINALS ARE HERE 🗳️ After starting with 32 names, we’ve narrowed it down to the final four contenders for Worst Person in Tech of 2022. How to choose from people who’ve caused so much harm? Cast your votes and get the executive you despise to the finish line!
- 🚨 ROUND TWO STARTS NOW 🗳️ After more than 30,000 votes in round one, the top 16 candidates for Worst Person in Tech now face off to see who will make it to the quarter finals. Cast your votes and get the person you despise most to the finish line!
- 🚨 IT’S TIME FOR ROUND THREE 🗳️ 32 terrible tech industry figures have now been narrowed down the top 8 in a competition for the honor of being 2022’s Worst Person in Tech. Make your voice heard, and get your chosen ghoul to the finish line!
- Replying to @techwontsaveus“Pretty much every single monkey that had had implants put in their head suffered from pretty debilitating health effects,” says Jeremy Beckham, the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine’s research advocacy director. “They were, frankly, maiming and killing the animals.”
- 🚨 THE FINAL TWO 🚨 Tens of thousands of voters narrowed 32 candidates down to just two. Today, the PayPal rivals and right-wing billionaires harming the world face off. It’s Peter Thiel vs Elon Musk. Cast your vote to choose who takes the title of Worst Person in Tech.
- Replying to @techwontsaveusThe stories include monkeys that were missing fingers and toes (possibly from self-mutilation), developed a bloody skin infection after having holes drilled in its skull, and that began vomiting and gasping after having electrodes implanted into its brain.
