Elon Musk’s Neuralink, a medical device company, is under federal investigation for potential animal-welfare violations amid internal staff complaints that its animal testing is being rushed, causing needless suffering and deaths, according to documents reviewed by Reuters and sources familiar with the investigation and company operations.
Neuralink Corp is developing a brain implant it hopes will help paralyzed people walk again and cure other neurological ailments. The federal probe, which has not been previously reported, was opened in recent months by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Inspector General at the request of a federal prosecutor, according to two sources with knowledge of the investigation. The probe, one of the sources said, focuses on violations of the Animal Welfare Act, which governs how researchers treat and test some animals.
The investigation has come at a time of growing employee dissent about Neuralink’s animal testing, including complaints that pressure from CEO Musk to accelerate development has resulted in botched experiments, according to a Reuters review of dozens of Neuralink documents and interviews with more than 20 current and former employees. Such failed tests have had to be repeated, increasing the number of animals being tested and killed, the employees say. The company documents include previously unreported messages, audio recordings, emails, presentations and reports.

The documentary “Died Suddenly” starts about ¼ of the way in.
Before that there is an interview with the producers….but if you just want to see the documentary….check out the second link.
Here is the link if you only want to watch the documentary without the interview. It is a difficult subject!

I LIKE your idea!!!
Monkeys' what being paralyzed?
In these experiments, to try and get the neural chips to respond to thoughts, the experiments would paralyze the monkeys so they only have their mind to use to get the chips to do something, like bring the monkey food on a spoon.
I find that kind of science troubling.
It’s under investigation because it’s Elon Musk.
That is the only reason.
Jesus wouldn’t.
You might get Terminator Salvation though...
Nah...you are right...eye for eye, tooth for tooth would be better.
