Musk kills monkeys in failed brain experiments
 

'Neuralink' killed 15 Monkeys Out Of 23 claims animal rights group

Elon Musk’s Neuralink brain implants aim to put a chip in the human brain for us to control things with our mind killed 15 out of 23 of the monkeys where it was installed.

Neuralink is planning human trials later this year.

According to Business Insider out of the total 23 monkeys that were implanted with the Neuralink Chip during testing at the University of California Davis between 2017 and 2020, at least 15 of them died.

Unfortunately, the source of the story is the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, which is an animal rights group which will no doubt be discredited on that basis.

Apparently, though the Physicians Committee viewed over 700 pages of documents, veterinary records, and necropsy reports via public records at the University.

“Pretty much every single monkey that had had implants put in their head suffered from pretty debilitating health effects," PCRMs research advocacy director Jeremy Beckham said. “They were, frankly, maiming and killing animals," he said.

According to reports, the Neuralink chips were implanted in monkeys by drilling holes into their skulls, which to be fair is the only way it can be done unless Musk has cracked surgical teleportation.
