, is now facing an investigation by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Inspector General regarding alleged violations of the Animal Welfare Act.as a result of Neuralink’s research, but that number may have only been the tip of a macabre iceberg. According to sources and records reviewed by Reuters, the total number of animals killed in the course of Neuralink’s research since 2018 is likely around 1,500, including around 280 pigs, sheep, and primates.
Musk seems to be in a rush to begin testing the Neuralink device on humans, announcing last week that human trials are set to begin. While animal testing remains a standard practice in the medical field, sources with knowledge of Neuralink’s internal workings tell Reuters that Musk’s emphasis on rapid development has led to botched experiments and has increased the number of animal deaths beyond the necessary amount. Several employees proposed overhauls to Neuralink’s testing process.
Human error in animal surgeries was a recurring theme in Neuralink’s testing. Sources told Reuters that lack of preparation and planning for tests resulted in instances where animals received implants that were the wrong size or placed in the wrong location, resulting in the animals being euthanized.
The investigation was reportedly spurred by a complaint filed by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine to the USDA in February. The group, which opposes animal testing, alleged that Nueralink and their partner lab at the University of California, Davis, violated the Animal Welfare Act. A California federal prosecutor referred the complaint to the USDA Inspector General, who opened the probe.
You liberal pages are really scared of his free speech and will try to make him look bad. Stick to music.
FVCK ELON MUSK
If SBF was responsible: “Primates allegedly died in the noble pursuit of life changing technology by world’s most Benevolent man.”
Yep, and 110 MILLION animals are killed in the US per year alone in testing laboratories, most of them government funded. I guess that's an inconvenient truth that this ridiculous mass media hit piece failed to mention.
Great. Now do a story on the number of birds killed by wind farms.
so cruel :(
I don't think so, I just wanna my memory back! They are stealing my mind, and everybody knows that! This is a Tesla System People!

Dear Musketeers, Imagine if Doritos flavors were priced differently. Imagine if Cool Ranch cost $200,000, but Nacho Cheese *paid you* $1,500. Think (!) about what the two flavors would do, respectively, for the enhanced human consumer. Upgrade your wetware before hardware.
Earlier this year, the Physicians Cmte for Responsible Medicine, representing 17,000 doctors, filed complaint with the USDA, alleging researchers at the University of California, Davis conducted harmful research on monkeys in a program funded by Neuralink.
