Neuralink, one of Elon Musk’s lesser-known business ventures, is facing a federal investigation into its practices after 1,500 animals are said to have been killed in trials of the company’s brain implants.
The startup, which Musk founded in 2016, is building coin-sized computer chips designed to be implanted into the human brain, with the aim of helping people with conditions like paralysis or neurological disorders.
