Elon Musk’s brain-implant company Neuralink is being investigated over its shipping methods after an animal rights group contacted the US Department of Transportation.

The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine said that public records show untrained Neuralink employees transported “contaminated” devices that were removed from the brains of “infected” monkeys without safely packaging them.
