At Musk’s brain-chip startup, animal-testing panel rife with potential conflicts (reuters.com)

> In response to an inquiry from Reuters, the USDA said it had found no conflicts of interest on Neuralink’s board when the department inspected its animal-research operations during 10 inspections since 2020. The company has passed all inspections with no citations, according to public records and a person with knowledge of the examinations.

If the regulator says everything is OK, we can't expect the company to think/act otherwise. They passed all inspections and are acting according to the law. If we want change at Neuralink, the law and the regulator need to change.

> "Nineteen of the board’s 22 members were Neuralink employees as of late 2022...."

Shocking.
