Elon: "the monkey has been able to control a computer with its brain" after a question about testing on animals and the ethics involved

  ...and if this all really works, the ethics of uplifting animals. If monkeys and cows, etc, can become intelligent via digital augmentation, it will seem pretty grotesque to eat meat. I’m not a vegetarian, but that thought has me reconsidering. Even if we’re a century or two away from that, it will be nice to not be remembered as monstrously eating other potentially-intelligent beings.
