Musky News: Musk’s Neuralink Interface Causes Extreme Suffering in Monkeys

Musky doing what he does best:

Musk’s Neuralink interface caused ‘extreme suffering’ in monkeys, doctors say

Elon Musk’s brain-chip company Neuralink has caused horrific damage to test monkeys, according to a complaint filed by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) on Thursday and seen by the New York Post. The complaint, filed with the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), concerns Neuralink testing on the monkeys carried out at the University of California at Davis from 2017 to 2020. 

The group has accused Neuralink and its host university of nine violations of the US federal Animal Welfare Act, noting in their complaint that “many, if not all, of the monkeys experienced extreme suffering as a result of inadequate animal care and the highly invasive head implants during the experiments.” It reportedly goes on to claim that the Neuralink implant procedure “produced recurring infections in the animals, significantly compromising their health, as well as the integrity of the research.” 

One monkey reportedly described in the complaint was found missing extremities “possibly from self-mutilation or other unspecified trauma,” and was later killed during a “terminal procedure.” Another monkey had holes drilled in its skull in order to implant the Neuralink electrodes directly into its brain – only to develop a “bloody skin infection” and be put down. And a third appeared to survive the electrode implantation, only to be overcome with “vomiting, retching and gasping.” Days later, it allegedly “appeared to collapse from exhaustion/fatigue” and finally died, revealing it had suffered a brain hemorrhage.

I wish he'd try this implant on himself and Bezos next.

 

Musky's Neuralink is ruining monkey (and soon human) brains while Musky's Starlink is doing damage to the outer space around the planet Earth. 

While another idiot Bezos is blowing up bridges in the Netherlands and building mansions with hundreds of rooms while his former company employees sleep in cars.

Is it not yet time to tame both?

Rhetorical question.

 

Thanks, Elon!
