When Elon Musk heard about 7-year-old Lily Thompson, a girl battling a rare neurological disorder that left her unable to walk, speak, or even breathe without assistance. She was facing astronomical costs and fading hope. Then, Lily’s family received an unexpected lifeline when Musk personally pledged to cover every penny of her care, including a pioneering surgery that could restore her chance at a normal childhood.
Lily’s condition, a degenerative brain disorder diagnosed at age 3, had defied conventional treatments, leaving her parents desperate as medical bills soared past $2 million. Enter Elon Musk, who, after reading about her plight in a local news story, directed his Musk Foundation to intervene. He not only paid off the family’s debts but funded an experimental procedure at a top California hospital, implanting a Neuralink chip to repair damaged neural connections. “No child should suffer when we have the tools to help,” Musk reportedly told doctors, insisting on fast-tracking the effort to give Lily a fighting chance.
So before you key a random person's Tesla, set fire to a Tesla dealership, or speak ill of Elon Musk let me ask you, what the hell did you do for Lily? Nothing, of course, because you people seldom do anything for anyone but yourselves.
