MEDIA ATTACKS ELON OVER MONKEYS
The media is running out of topics to attack Elon, so they turned their attention to the monkeys used during the Neuralink trials.
They found a former Neuralink employee “whistleblower” who spoke to WIRED, and claimed that monkeys were euthanized for “brain swelling” related to the implant.
Elon has clarified in a post that no monkeys have died due to a Neuralink implant. He also explained that “our early implants, to minimize risk to healthy monkeys, we chose terminal monkeys (close to death already).”
Animal testing is not a new phenomenon in the industry. Some of the world’s most important innovations involved animal testing, including:
- Surgical techniques
- Pharmaceutical products
- Prosthetic limb development
Other companies that currently conduct animal testing, with no media criticism:
- Estée Lauder (Cosmetics)
- Maybelline (Consmetics)
- Moderna (Vaccines)
- OxyClean (detergents)
The USDA estimates that over 100,000 animals were used in research, and almost all died.
Ethical or not, this is an accepted practice across many industries.
The goal of Neuralink is to help people with neurological conditions and make their lives better.
Where is the praise?
The media is getting desperate to take out @elonmusk. Watching them do so is getting embarrassingly entertaining.
