Monkeys used in brain chip experiments by Musk-owned Neuralink were so badly abused they had to be put to death, according to documents obtained by the Physicians' Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM). Last week,PCRM filed a lawsuit to get more from UC Davis, which worked with Neuralink from 2017-2020. This is the best chance to find out more about the experiments since Neuralink has moved from UC Davis to a private facility to avoid transparency and accountabililty.

Jeremy Beckham, a researcher with PCRM, talks with Emil Guillermo about how the brain chip idea is an old idea spun with a new fantasy, and how all of it is still relying on monkeys subjected to abusive and inhumane treatment.
