That's not what Elon does
But it's exactly what he does.
Here is one example of Elon saying, in 2017, cars will be driving themselves while you sleep in 2 years. It's 2021 and you can't. He does get some right, but many wrong. There is even an
entire website dedicated to tracking his "grandiose claims". I just had to find one example to prove your assertion wrong.
results of their trials don't offer any evidence of anything remotely resembling a cure
That's strawmanning. I never claimed the evidence they do have resembles a cure. Regarding evidence, you said "Samumed has
none". I showed you they did. You can be dissatisfied with the evidence, but it doesn't mean it's not evidence.
They couldn't launch and land rockets a decade ago either. Just because it hasn't been done, doesn't mean it won't/can't be.
Rockets were launched into space more than 70 years ago. Musk wasn't making impossible sounding claims. He was making claims that we knew he had the technology to do, it would just be a vast undertaking. That's a far cry from claiming you have a revolutionary technology that cures things that are thought to be incurable.
You missed my point so I'll say it again. Just because something hasn't been done, doesn't mean it can't be done. Specifically regarding rockets, of course everyone assumed it would be done eventually, but no one knew how to do it. You said Elon claimed "that we knew he had the technology to do, it would just be a vast undertaking".. Hmm,
exactly the same claim Samumed made
“We might be sitting on a molecule that already has the answer,” he said. “But taking that and making it into a drug is a decade-long struggle.”
Red herring. All the stuff in my bio has been proven to work. None of it has been proven to be a cure. I'm not sure what your point is other than to create obfuscation.
You keep hiding your poor arguments behind this vague distinction between when something "works", vs when something is a "cure". No one has ever claimed anything for hair loss (even what samumed has) is a cure.
We can probably agree that randomized, placebo controlled clinical trial results, hold more evidential weight than anecdotal reports. And since Samumed's randomized, placebo controlled, clinical trials/data
ARE NOT sufficient for you to "prove" something might work, I'll hold you to those same standards for the stuff in you bio.
It's okay, just send me the FDA approvals for hair loss for everything you listed? What? You don't have it? Can you link me the Phase 3 results for RU? What? They never did them? So it's mostly now just anecdotal evidence since they pulled the plug? It's not a red herring, or obfuscation. I'm just highlighting that you have believed other things to work for far less in the past than the standard you hold Samumed too.
So they could run trials for all of their cures at once and save humanity sooner.
I don't think you actually believe companies work like this. Common
@pegasus2, you're more intelligent than this. Google "how to prioritize" if you don't.
Besides, if they really have the cure to everything 12 billion dollars seems like a low valuation, doesn't it? So they already gave up more equity than they had to if you believe their claims.
Let's pretend you are Samumed. You need money to run (a lot of) trials. What do you do? Sell equity or IPO to raise. IPO comes with a
whole lot of extra market responsibilities, you sell equity instead. You need a lot of money though? Who has enough to help you fund over a decade of research and trials? Private investors. Okay, lets sell just enough equity to raise the money we need to operate over this timeline until we at least start generating revenue.
The current valuation (12 billion) factors in a range of things from market size to comparable companies, and
where they are in their lifecycle. They still have not launched anything. I know you don't actually believe 12 billion is their final valuation. They wouldn't exist if they don't give up a substantial amount of equity for capitol to operate. Private investors joined in on the risk and they will all get a small piece of a LARGE pie if it pays off.
We have seen the results of their trials.
Oh, so you admit that they do have evidence?
We have seen the results of their trials. Independent rheumatologists say the phase 3 for their osteoarthritis drug shows a complete lack of disease modification, and no further trials will change that.
Let's wait and see. You don't know, no one knows. Maybe the osteo patients all ended up with a NW0 hairline though , if only they checked it. SM patients could have all grown horns instead.
It's good to have an open mind, but not so open that your brains fall out. Use your judgement and you will see this is not worth investing your money or hope into.
The same way it's not good to be so pessimistic about the world that you spend a good portion of the last 5 years of your life convincing random people on a hair loss forum (where you even thought it might be wise to add a medical disclaimer in your signature), many who might just have realized they are balding, that there is no hope.
All that aside, no hate though, you do have a lot of knowledge (i'd be surprised if you didn't after this long) about things I've seen you mention on this forum that had led me to investigate things I didn't know. Someone just needed to check you because you speak in hyperbole
so much that it
sometimes distracts from meaningful discussion. xoxo
