Elon Musk’s Neuralink reportedly faces animal welfare probe

LA Times  

Elon Musk recently has promoted ambitious plans for his Neuralink venture, including developing implants that can go into the spinal cord and restore movement in patients suffering paralysis. Elon Musk’s brain-implant company Neuralink is under federal investigation for possibly violating the Animal Welfare Act amid staff complaints that its animal testing is being rushed, Reuters reported. Musk has revealed ambitious plans for his startup, saying last week that Neuralink is developing implants that can go into the spinal cord and potentially restore movement in someone suffering from paralysis, as well as an ocular implant meant to improve or restore human vision. Musk and Neuralink representatives didn’t respond to Reuters, and a spokesperson for the USDA Office of Inspector General also declined to comment to the news outlet.
