I think there's a difference between saying "Here is a demo of some tech on a pig that, some day, could treat depression in humans" and "We have treated depression and cured it, as you can see from this demo. Also, this is not a pig, it is a human."
Elon loves the former. Trevor appears to love the latter.
I'm not sure what you're getting at here: I've already said that I don't have much respect for either person.
It seems like you're trying to say that because Elon does it and has been successful, it's okay for Trevor to do it in his own pursuit of success. Which is a big nope nope nope. It just means both of them are doing shady things.
