Musk’s Neuralink and Animal Deaths By James Reed

Elon Musk, who has been creating waves with revelations that Twitter censored review of the Hunter Biden lap top, has had his team working away to be able to put chips in the human brain. If being a genetically modified organism was not bad enough, here we go on the next big technocratic thing. At least, unlike the Covid vaxxes, there appears to be animal studies. As detailed below, around 1,500 animals have been killed, although death details are in short supply. But planting chips in brains seems a dangerous thing, and if cars can burst into flames, who says that human brains may not also suffer a parallel fate? But, hopefully, Elon will be the first to have his brain implanted to show good faith.

“At his Neuralink Corp.’s Fremont, Calif., headquarters this week, billionaire electric vehicle-turned-social media tycoon Elon Musk announced that his long-awaited artificial intelligence (AI) brain implants are finally ready for insertion into human bodies.

Within the next six months, Musk revealed, the first human patients will begin getting injected with the coin-sized microchips, known as a brain-computer interface (BCI).

According to Musk, the brain implants will “allow a person with a debilitating condition – such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or the aftereffects of a stroke – to communicate via their thoughts.”

“We are now confident that the Neuralink device is ready for humans, so timing is a function of working through the FDA approval process,” Musk, the new CEO of Twitter, tweeted.

From what we know about the results of Neuralink’s animal trials, the brain implants, including the “glue” used to keep them in place inside a person’s skull, eventually lead to death – though Musk made no mention of this in his promotion of them.

“As miraculous as that may sound, we are confident that it is possible to restore full-body functionality to someone who has a severed spinal cord,” Musk said about the device’s alleged ability to translate neuronal activity into data that a computer can then interpret as a signal for disease “treatment.”

Future versions of the device will be inserted into other areas of the body besides the brain. A patient who is paralyzed, for instance, would receive the chip in his spinal cord while a patient with blindness would receive it ocularly.

Musk wants all humans to take his brain implants so humanity can be merged with machines

The implants that Musk says are already ready to go now are the brain kind containing electrode-laced wires. A small robot is used to drill and carve out a piece of a person’s skull in order to make room for it.

Musk had the robot designed to perform the surgery as quickly as possible, his goal being to one day make the procedure as quick and simple as any other outpatient procedure.

Talks with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) about impending approval are said to be going well, which is not all that surprising considering the nature of what the device does and the mountains of money that Musk has at his disposal to give the corrupt federal agency its cut.

A competitor called Synchron Inc. already makes similar products, though they are much less powerful and much less invasive. Musk proudly bragged that his brain implant chips have more processing power and cause much more damage to the body to install.

The process of getting these things fully developed and into people’s bodies has apparently been too slow for Musk’s liking, though. He recently urged his engineers to work faster because “we will all be dead before something useful happens.”

Musk’s goal is to make his brain implants mainstream. He would like to see every person receive one to allow for the constant and direct transfer of information between humans and machines – a truly dystopian future.

“Any species that has no problem doing gender reassignment on two- and three-year-olds will have no problem subordinating the human mind to the machine,” wrote a commenter, referring to the time when Musk announced the birth of his new baby as “gender neutral.”

“Musk really is beginning to look more and more like a proven huckster – fake power walls, fake solar, fake batteries, fake flame throwers, expensive cars with poor range that catch on fire (Tesla), fake tunnels, fake hyperlinks, fake Mars mission claims, etc.”

“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 investigation, which has not been previously reported, was opened in recent months by the US Department of Agriculture’s inspector general at the request of a federal prosecutor, according to two sources with knowledge of the investigation. The inquiry, 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 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.

Musk and other Neuralink executives did not respond to requests for comment.

Reuters could not determine the full scope of the federal investigation or whether it involved the same alleged problems with animal testing identified by employees in Reuters interviews. A spokesperson for the USDA inspector general declined to comment. US regulations don’t specify how many animals companies can use for research, and they give significant leeway to scientists to determine when and how to use animals in experiments. Neuralink has passed all USDA inspections of its facilities, regulatory filings show.

In all, the company has killed about 1,500 animals, including more than 280 sheep, pigs and monkeys, following experiments since 2018, according to records reviewed by Reuters and sources with direct knowledge of the company’s animal-testing operations. The sources characterized that figure as a rough estimate because the company does not keep precise records on the number of animals tested and killed. Neuralink has also conducted research using rats and mice.

The total number of animal deaths does not necessarily indicate that Neuralink is violating regulations or standard research practices. Many companies routinely use animals in experiments to advance human health care, and they face financial pressure to quickly bring products to market. The animals are typically killed when experiments are completed, often so they can be examined post-mortem for research purposes.”
