Neuralink ended its partnership with UC Davis in September 2020, but the Physicians Committee claims that it continues to employ the same neurosurgeon and many of the staff responsible for the experiments that poisoned, maimed, and ultimately killed at least 12 macaque monkeys.
Last month, the company announced that it is preparing to start human trials after receiving a green light from the US Food and Drug Administration. Since ending its partnership with Davis, Neuralink has brought its testing in-housefar from the prying eyes of journalists, animal welfare groups, and the jurisdiction whose records law first shed light on its practices.

So, the FDA didn't see the photos, I presume?

Over 1000 animals died, not just monkeys. Pigs, rats, dogs..... sentient beings all of them. I cry for them. Rot in hell musk!

And the FDA approved human trials. Yikes.
Just don't invite me. I'll bring a line cord, or more appropriately, a Tesla coil when Elon is wired up, as I recall he wants to do.
