What did Elon Musk do to the monkeys?
Neuralink, which was founded in 2016, is working on a brain implant that will connect the human brain directly to computers. Musk claims that this brain-computer interface (BCI) will allow humans to perform actions solely through thought.

What did Neuralink do to pigs?
Neuralink has used macaque monkeys in testing as the company has been developing Bluetooth-enabled implantable chips – inserted into the monkeys' brains – that the company claims can communicate with computers via a small receiver.

Why did Elon Musk put chips in monkeys?
Prior to taking the giant leap, we sent our monkey cousins into space to investigate the great unknown for us. With little knowledge of how the human body would react to increased altitudes, researchers in the United States sent primates into the sky as test subjects.

Why did the US send monkeys into space?
We have not yet begun clinical trials, so we do not have human safety data, but safety has been central to the design process. The Link, in particular, includes technical innovations designed to improve the safety of the surgical procedure over existing method
