- Elon Musk’s Neuralink used monkeys to test its brain chip that can connect to a device.
- Musk said on X, formerly Twitter, that “no monkeys died as a result of Neuralink’s chips.”
- A new SEC complaint alleges that Musk’s statement is false based on research records.
A group that advocates for ethical scientific research is asking the Securities and Exchange Commission to investigate Elon Musk for his recent claim that no monkeys have died as a result of Neuralink’s brain chip.
The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM), a nonprofit that has previously lodged complaints against Neuralink’s conduct, asked the SEC in a letter obtained by WIRED magazine to investigate Musk for securities fraud for a statement he made on X, formerly Twitter, on September 10.
