Darnell (For Your Information)Another day, another startup raises millions of dollars ($43 million specifically). But the real story is what is typed underneath glitz & glamor.
In 2022, the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) alleged that Neuralink and UC Davis, once its research partner, had mistreated several monkeys involved with testing Neuralink hardware — subjecting them to psychological distress and chronic infections due to surgeries. Reports from both Reuters and Wired suggested testing was being rushed due to Musk’s demands for fast results, which led to complications with the installation of electrodes — including partial paralysis and brain swelling.
For nearly a year, Neuralink was under federal investigation by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) regarding animal welfare violations. The USDA eventually concluded that there was “no evidence” of animal welfare breaches in the startup’s trials other than a previous, self-reported incident from 2019 — but the PCRM disputed the results of the investigation.
in November 2023, U.S. Lawmakers ask to SEC to investigated Neuralink for omitting details about the deaths of at least a dozen animals who were surgically fitted with its implants.

USDA found no evidence of animal welfare breaches but we have dead monkeys from obvious experimentation. Why would the government ignore an obvious breach of conduct‽
If I was a conspiracy theorist, I would say there is a military angle to this story, but since there is no evidence of that either (quite literally), we can wager this to nothing more than ordinary bureaucratic corruption.
Or maybe Elon Musk is from the future & he only needs…twelve monkeys to save humanity.
