@ElonMuskNews47 Build a reabilitation centre for blind people focusing on tech to help them live normal full, fun and fruitful lives. Plus a little holiday for me.

@elonmusk Grok is a game changer for Blind users like myself. Sure its not exactly what it was meant for, but I suppose much works that way. Thank you. Next challenge, Neurolink BlindSight.

@PhumlaniMMajozi Just laugh. Is it not better that people easily show their true selves, so its easier to know exactly who they are?

@BarneySimon Inbetween days - The Cure. I always listen to the Cure when I feel sick…

@Zayin_7_119 I wonder if other countries will start to offer similar refugee programs for South Africans of minority sectors. Given the exposure we have been given by the US, maybe?

[Christopher Venter @BlindManCan]

@elonmusk This guy is offering a huge hope for myself and many like me. To be able to see again would be so freaking amazing. Bravo Elon and neurolink. This blind dude will be more than happy to offer myself as an early experiment. Super impressed and super hopeful.

[Christopher Venter @BlindManCan]

@wmwchris thanks to your exposure, its not only the US that now knows of the true situation going down in South Africa. I wonder if other countries will also start to offer refugee programs for minorities from here.

@wmwchris On @JohnSteenhuisens US trip, this is his opportunity to do the right thing. Bury the corrupt ANC and he will rocket support for the da. He will also become an instant hero and speed up the change for everyone in SA. What do you think?

@GaytonMcK I hope you are right and able to bring the social cohesion you speak of to our beautiful country. Enough hate and enough fighting. I have travelled far and wide, South Africa is without doubt the best country on the planet and best part is, it can only get better

I really hope the new Tesla Pi mobile phone has a built in screen reader to make it properly accessible, so I can finally have another option to my iPhone. Kind of important to a blind dude like me. @elonmusk

Don’t Wait:
For things to get easier, simpler, better.
Life will always be complicated.
Learn to be happy right now,

Your wound is probably not your fault.
But your healing is your responsibility.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Sticking with a bad decision is not a triumph of commitment. It's a failure of courage.

The quicker you are to admit you were wrong, the sooner you can start making it right.

Persistence is not about staying on a path. It's about finding a better path to your goal.

[Christopher Venter @BlindManCan]

Bravo, very apt post

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

The axiomatic error undermining much of Western Civilization is “weak makes right”.

If someone accepts, explicitly or implicitly, that the oppressed are always the good guys, then the natural conclusion is that the strong are the bad guys.

[Christopher Venter @BlindManCan]

Such an interesting and hopeful time to live as a blind man. Everything tech that is becoming more accessible, Brain implants that may allow sight, self driving cars. All exciting people like me. You go @elonmusk
