☆ Elon Musk's claim that no monkey died as a result of Neuralink implants contradicts records that show how the animals experienced brain swelling, paralysis, seizures, and other health effects, letter

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." "First our early implants, to minimize risk to health monkeys, we chose terminal moneys (close to death already)," Musk wrote on September 10, misspelling monkeys. Other health effects included paralysis, seizures, loss of coordination and balance, and depression, PCRM wrote in the SEC letter. The average age of the dozen monkeys that died during Neuralink's research was 7.25 years, the group said.

In 2019, Cambodia supplied 8,571 of the 33,818 research monkeys imported to the U.S., or 25%. In 2021, the number of monkeys from Cambodia more than doubled to 18,870, making up nearly 60% of the 31,844 research monkeys brought to America. Earlier this year, long-tailed macaques and pig-tailed macaques were listed as endangered species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. The decades long effort by animal rights groups to derail the monkey trade has made some impact. The incident shined a rare spotlight on the monkey trade, which largely goes on outside the view of the public.
