The Elon Musk retribution tour continues as Donald Trump allows Elon Musk to fire 20 Food and Drug Administration employees, many of which were evaluating his NeuroLink applications for brain devices to be used in paralyzed and other vision impaired people in order to provide them sight. They'd already been investigated for animal testing abuse. The inspector general for the FDA on January 29th, who was investigating the NeuroLink company owned by Elon Musk was literally escorted out of her office

after she refused the illegal firing order. And now we have the reporting that we are less safe as a nation because the people who are responsible for reviewing and evaluating scientific breakthroughs to allow them to be approved have all been shown the door. I'm Michael Popak. You're on Midas Touch Network and Legal AF. Elon Musk has a lot of companies. He's got the boring company that makes subway tunnels and other tunnels. He's got the rockets. He's got the satellites. He's got the boring company that makes subway tunnels and other tunnels. He's got the rockets. He's got the satellites. He's got the electric cars and trucks. He's got a company

called Neuralink. Neuralink is in the brain controlled, interfaced world of devices. He was working on a device that would allow paralyzed people to use their thought in order to use electronic devices, also to restore sight in people who are partially or totally blind. I get the value of that. I don't get that Elon Musk and Donald Trump get to take a wrecking ball to the Food and Drug Administration and the regulators so that an unregulated, I assume now going to be approved, medical device gets used in human beings. There's a reason that in the, in 2022,

Neuralink was investigated for animal abuse during testing. I don't want human abuse either. And when you take these 20 people who just got fired from the Food and Drug Administration, effectively by Elon Musk, when you take them out of the equation, it's just gonna slow the pipeline of innovation down. It's not gonna speed it up.

They were busy. What are we just gonna approve everything that was in the pipeline, regardless of whether it kills people or not. The FDA brings to market those things that are ruled to be safe. Every drug company wants its drug to be injected into a human being, but based on testing and based on data, it shouldn't be. And that's where the Food and Drug Administration protects you and I. See, we're going to learn a lot about what these regulators were supposed to do and what they've been doing in every administration, except for administration protects you and I. See, we're gonna learn a lot about what these regulators

were supposed to do and what they've been doing in every administration except for the Trump administration to keep us safe, keep our bodies safe, keep our health safe, keep our water supply, our air supply safe, our workplaces safe. We're gonna recognize it because it's like a perverse version of it's a wonderful life. They're all gonna to be gone.

And then we're going to see the world, the Trumpian, Hobbesian, Muskian world, that's going to replace what we have today or what we had today or what we had before January 20th. I am offended that Elon Musk gets to have a competitive advantage to let an unproven technology to do a brain implant, to have it automatically approved by the executive branch, by the guy that he bought, Donald Trump, because he wants to get rid of regulators. And it was all BS. They told these employees who were probationary, probationary because they don't have seniority, they were

there in less than a year, 20 of them were working on things related to Neuralink. They said they suddenly had performance issues. They just got rave reviews and reports weeks before. So what happened? After the Trump administration came in, they suddenly became bad employees, rotten eggs? No, we know what's happening. We just need to talk truth eggs. No, we know what's happening.

We just need to talk truth to each other. We know what's happening. Elon Musk hates regulators. He's got an allergy to regulators. Whether they're European regulators of his technology there and his cars and his trucks and his rockets and his satellite, he doesn't want regulators.

That's why he goes after the EU to try to destabilize them. He goes after our allies to try to destabilize them. He sides with the right, the rightest of right wing in those countries, almost to the right, the wing of Nazis in Germany, right? The far, when you say far right party in Germany, that's neo-Nazi. And there's no other way to put it.

Even the Germans will tell you that. I'm not, I'm not anti-German. I'm just, I mean, I got my own issues, but that's what we're talking about. So when you see JD Vance give a speech in Munich and then meet with the all right, right, right of Germany, that's Nazi, that's neo-Nazi. Do you ever think you'd see an American guy

one beat away from the presidency be embraced by neo-Nazis, or be celebrated on Russian television, that's why you see Elon Musk doing it. And he, and I said when he got elected that Trump would have Elon Musk dismantle all of the regulators that he hated. Your nighttime bedroom temperature has a huge impact on your sleep quality.

The Securities and Exchange Commission, who was going after cryptocurrency and going after

his company like Tesla, gone. The only reason he cares about the FDA is because he's got a product and a company called Neuralink, and they get fired. What kind of world do we live in where people are being fired for doing their job to protect America? where people are being fired for doing their job to protect America. Donald Trump says, if you're, if you're saving America, you can, you don't commit any commit any crimes. He tweeted that recently. I don't even know what that means.

That means he thinks he can get away with anything as long as he's trying to save America. Yeah. These people were saving America from having their bodies and health exploited by people like Elon Musk. Let me put it this way. from having their bodies and health exploited by people like Elon Musk. Let me put it this way. If you were on your deathbed,

and there was a button on the wall that determined whether you lived or died, who would you want in the room with you? Elon Musk making that decision, or some qualified bureaucrat, as Donald Trump calls it, from the FDA. I'd rather have the FDA in my room, making life and death decisions in that scenario than Elon Musk, the angel of death, right?

And so it means, you know, I try to present this in a way that you understand, as I'm sure you do, the importance of calling out these stories. You know, I had somebody who's in my world, in the world of Legal AF and the YouTube channel, say to me, it's very disheartening. He gets up in the morning so depressed. I don't, I don't, because I have a giant watch on my wrist

and I know how time works. Not that he doesn't, I'm just saying. And I know this will be over soon. This too shall pass and we will come out stronger as an American people. Of course, we got to hold the bastards accountable. We got to run them out on a rail come the midterm election. You got to take all this angst and energy and anxiety and depression and channel it into voting voter voting registration and like and I'll do it and I'll do it with you. Got to call out these things. Social Security Administration heads for 30 years right profiles encouraged saying no we're not turning over our sensitive

information about the American people to Elon Musk who voted for that? Get your dirty myths off my body, off my personal information. That's not America. That's not even, I'm not a conservative, but that's not conservative or libertarian values either for those that sided with Donald Trump over Joe Biden and in the Democrats and Kamala Harris and the Democrats. Think again, think again, right?

So I'm gonna continue to follow the Neuralink scandal. It's now in val, every day we have a new scandal. Everybody notice that? The Trump administration, the Department of Justice is so ethically conflicted and so that it's become an existential crisis, like will they survive off the Eric Adams, Mayor Adams scandal? FDA, well, look at the rest of this,

the Treasury Department, you know, does that survive? The scandal related to throwing the keys to everybody's personal medical and financial information to Elon Musk. There's a reason I never bought stock in Tesla. There's a reason I didn't drive Tesla. There's a reason I would never support or put any money intentionally in the pocket of Elon Musk. And I don't want now that reward to be that he gets to go rummaging around in my personal affairs or yours. Hold

them accountable right here on the Midas Touch Network. Join forces with us, right? It's that kind of moment. We went over 4 million subscribers on the Midas Touch Network.
