Unfortunately I have been living under a rock recently.

Can someone please ELI5 it for me ?

    ELI5: one of musks evil villain plans is to connect our brains to the internet in some kind of meaningful way (probably advertisements in your daydreams). He tested this on monkeys. There seems to be some disputes as to how horrifically these tests went. Musk is accused of underexaggerating these horrors. This underexaggerating seems to have landed his device in the next circle of FDA approved trials: humans.

        It was approved specifically for people with paralysis, rather than all the other wild clickbait-intended claims Musk makes

        The hope is that all this extra scrutiny around their testing record so far will make it so that the human trials are by the book and well documented. At the very least, that evidence isn’t destroyed this time

      I think the word might be ‘understating’, since the ‘under’ and ‘exaggerate’ cancel out?
