SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA: A group of physicians has clamied that Elon Musk's brain chip company Neuralink is "mutilating and killing monkeys" to create a "brain-machine interface." Musk plans to hold a 'Show and Tell' event for the company on November 30. The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) detailed the gruesome experiments monkeys were put through at the University of California, Davis (UC Davis).

The Daily Mail accessed lab notes shared by PCRM that detailed many of the experiments conducted on monkeys who had received implanted electrodes during surgeries. Within the messages, Neuralink's head neurosurgeon Matthew MacDougall's name is shown as the one "running the procedures."
