    "No amount of money could restore my hearing" is the most beautiful & perfect quote! That's point out how important it is to our Deaf community cannot live without their right to accessibility.

      Agreed. Granted I am not deaf, but I am hard of hearing. So, I understand the need for and the right to have accessibility.

      @@AusticHardOfHearingSinger same here. im hard of hearing and slowly going deaf and I too agree. i have a lot of deaf in my family too. Thats one thing really bothers me, and a lot of these Chicago apt complexes will not allow to make apts deaf friendly. Im learning and not all hearing but a lot hearing wants us to live in their world but they don't want to accommodate deaf and hoh. its even got to point in past 4 years my family and I cant get sorenson or any of those companies to call back. Why is this world trying to shut out our community? Does there have to be another DPN to stand up for rights?

    I’m hard of hearing and use dual hearing aids. I also sign.
    I need captions on to watch TV , especially if the individual speaking has an accent of any kind. My wife doesn’t mind the captions so it is ok for both of us.
    As for Elon : he has done a lot with his company but it doesn’t mean he understands everything to do with media.
    As for Alex : you said your point really well.

    I have tried applying his offering work at home. His idea program offered to million canadain and America. Like said 350 deposit you get 5,000 or more every monthly. Blah blah that. Only way he can work with you is through phone calls to training you how to do that stuff doing computer craps. Guess what? When he or one of his trainer worker tries call me to talk me on phone. Or email to me kept said have been trying to contact me so I reply back told him or his team that I cannot communicate through phone call. Only way to do that is texts or email. They just simple stopped not do anything with me. Ignoring me move on to someone else who is hearing that can talk on phone. To me he is biggest a..h... to all our deaf people. He didn't cares about disabilities people. All he cares is getting rich. He love money more than people. That is facts.

    Elon Musk said “What’s the point of sign language in a video if you have substitutes? Am I missing something?” He is right because most deaf people couldn’t understand that closed captioning “illiteracy”. ASL is not great to teach deaf children or a bad education because they struggle how to read sentences. I am still unhappy if ASL exists in some public schools except deaf schools. Hopefully, cued speech will teach them instead in the future. Sigh poor deaf children 😢 STOP TEACHING SIGN LANGUAGE. CUED SPEECH IS THE BEST CHOICE INSTEAD!

    He knows exactly what he is doing. In no way is he ignorant of anything he says....his previous comments about Mr. Beast and the hearing restoration, his work into the neurolink and saying the next steps are to create vision for the blind (aka: Geordi from StarTrek), and this comment about not needing an interpreter, is all just preconditioning and testing to see the public response to what he already has planned for neurolink, AI with signing, and so forth. When he comments his "thank you for explaining" remarks, he is just placating everyone. He already knows.

    There is no need Subtitles if sign language interpreter is on video unless if deaf people understand or not.
    If video doesn't show up sign language interpreter then please add Subtitles for English.

    What ignorant Elon is. I am disappointed with him for making comments on ASL. Those hearing people are frustrated with ASL because it looks difficult on them.. and Elon can’t learn ASL. ASL is beautiful and artful language. Subtitles or captions are hard to read while actors or actresses move fast or changing scenes so fast. Often I get lost track on captions. Please Elon plug your ears and read captions yourself and see for yourself. Why you the hearings think best option for the deaf/hard of hearing. Don’t judge us because you lack knowledge of deaf culture.
