Neuralink Brain Implant Approved for Human Testing: Should We Be Concerned?

Elon Musk's brain implant company, Neuralink, has received regulatory approval to conduct the first clinical trial of its experimental device in humans. However, concerns have been raised about Musk's leadership record, animal welfare, and the company's ability to responsibly oversee the development of an invasive medical device capable of reading brain signals. Neuralink has tested its chips on animals, and allegations of animal cruelty have led to ongoing investigations of the company from multiple government agencies and members of Congress.
