Elon Musk’s brain-computer interface startup, Neuralink, is facing fresh controversy as it secures approval for human clinical trials, with emerging reports unveiling disturbing details about animal deaths during experiments and allegations of misleading investors about the safety and developmental history of the device.
Elon Musk’s Neuralink has initiated the recruitment of subjects for its first human clinical trial, aiming to explore the potential of its creepy brain-computer interface technology that has produced nasty results for unfortunate test monkeys in recent years.
Elon Musk’s brain chip startup, Neuralink, has successfully raised $280 million in a funding round led by Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund, just months after securing approval for its first in-human clinical trial. However, the company’s success is overshadowed by allegations of rushed and botched animal experiments. Regardless of its animal mishaps, most Americans think getting a brain chip is a bad idea.
The FDA has granted approval to Elon Musk’s brain implant company, NeuraLink, to carry out clinical studies on humans.
The FDA has denied human testing trials for Neuralink, Elon Musk’s brain-computer interface company. The FDA reportedly raised numerous “deficiencies” with Neuralink’s plan, including safety concerns over the lithium batteries that power the brain implant.
Elon Musk’s brain-computer interface company Neuralink is reportedly under federal investigation for possible animal-welfare violations after 1,500 animals were allegedly killed during testing. The investigation was reportedly sparked by massive employee backlash to the mass death of animals.
Elon Musk’s brain chip company Neuralink aims to start implanting its brain implants into human patients within six months. A Pew poll in early 2022 found that only 13 percent of Americans believe that Musk’s brain chips will be good for society.
Since his takeover of Twitter, Elon Musk has reportedly enlisted more than 50 of his most trusted Tesla employees to help in his restructuring of the social media platform.
