Musk firm probed

Elon Musk’s brain implant company is under federal investigation after it was reported that about 1500 animals, including sheep, pigs and monkeys, have been killed in the past four years during tests. Neuralink is developing a chip it hopes will help paralysed people walk again, but staff say testing is being rushed due to pressure from Musk, causing needless suffering and deaths. Musk has reportedly told employees to imagine they had a bomb strapped to their heads in an effort to get them to move faster, according to three sources. It is alleged that a number of tests have been botched because of poor preparation, and animals have had to be put down.
