"Controversial Monkey Deaths Prompt Calls for SEC Probe into Elon Musk's Actions"

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is being urged for the third time this year to investigate allegations of whether Elon Musk made misleading claims about the deaths of primates used for research by his brain-chip startup, Neuralink. Animal rights advocacy and research group, Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, claims that Musk's recent statements about the primates' deaths are inaccurate and amount to "possible securities fraud." Records reviewed by WIRED reveal that the health of the monkeys used in Neuralink's experiments was not as terminal as Musk claimed, with some undergoing extensive health examinations prior to the surgeries. The SEC has yet to confirm or deny whether it is investigating Musk's comments.
