Elon Musk wants to start human testing of Neuralink brain chips this year. The organization is accusing Neuralink and UC Davis of nine violations of the federal Animal Welfare Act — a federal measure designed to reduce suffering during animal experiments. Elon Musk says Neuralink will one day cure paralysis and make humans smarter.
