Allegedly, Elon Musk’s company Neuralink uses brain implants covered with deadly pathogens. These chips are said to be capable of causing serious illness if they were transplanted into humans.
The allegations come from emails and documents currently submitted to the US Department of Transportation (USDoT) by PCRM showing that the chips were packaged and transported in an insecure manner.
“We are conducting an investigation to ensure that Neuralink fully complies with federal regulations and protects its employees and the public from potentially dangerous pathogens,” a USDoT spokesperson said in a statement.

While Neuralink packages are labeled as “dangerous,” PCRM claims they were not sealed or disinfected before being transported, allowing disease transmission from test monkeys. In the aftermath of a pandemic caused by animal-to-human transmission, such a breach can be a major problem.
“As the hardware components of the implanted nerve device are not sealed and disinfected before leaving the manufacturing site, this poses a danger to anyone who might come into contact with the device,” a UC Davis employee wrote in a message to Neuralink.
The records allegedly show that a large number of serious pathogens, including antibiotic-resistant Staphylococcus and herpes B virus, were carried without following standard decontamination protocols. Neuralink has not yet made a statement on this subject.
