In an interview, Noland Arbaugh says the company wanted to avoid further surgery.

I’m not surprised given the person in charge, but I still feel bad for the guy. Being almost completely paralyzed, it makes total sense to jump at the chance to get some normalcy back.

I didn’t expect 85% of the wires to already detach at this point. In a just society, the whole company would be shut down and the CEO put into a bottomless pit.

    I get it, but being disabled to that extent makes you reliant on other people to access resources and information to help you make informed decisions.

    The accident happened while he was a teenager and I can’t imagine it’s easy to do independent research or evade pressure from peers when you can’t just disengage from a Tesla bro who wants to use your condition for clout.

    I hope he figures out and denounces the whole thing, but at this point sunk cost sets in.
