The Securities and Exchange Commission may have to double the size of its staff just to keep an eye on Elon Musk's tweets.
Wired reported this week that the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine -- an anti-animal testing medical ethics nonprofit -- wrote to the SEC to complain that Neuralink founder Elon Musk, whose companies have paid the agency millions in fines over ill-considered tweets, misled investors by tweeting that "no monkey has died as a result of a Neuralink implant." He also said the test animals in the implant's early development stages were "terminal monkeys (close to death already)." Wired spoke to an ex-Neuralink employee who refuted Musk's tweet, calling it a "straight fabrication."
