The Theranos machine also did stuff. Not as close to actual working as FSD. More like NeuroLink but without the dead lab animals. Or you could compare it to Enron. They actually did have a market in fiber capacity. It kind of did what it said did.
I didn't think it did stuff. Everything I've read about it indicates that they fabricated results randomly, or that results were generated by a third party. Nothing to indicate that any results were ever legitimate whatsoever.
Maybe I misunderstood?
NeuroLink isn't on the market. So I can't call that a comparison either.
I mean, don't invest in crazy stuff, obviously, but... Probably Elonism isn't the end all unified theory of economics either.
