its basically a fancy mouse. It lets you control a computer or phone. So, yes, as it goes inside the body I guess its technically a medical device but this is not a necessary evil. I fully agree with animal testing when it comes to important things such as curing diseases but this is just musk trying to roll out another device that will probably never work right anyways.
In fairness there’s a lot of people with disabilities that could benefit from something like this. But you’re right, I wouldn’t trust anything Musk has touched to be inside someone’s head.
I think the issue is more that they died from distress or complications of the hardware. Standard operating procedure is to dispose of animal subjects after testing irregardless, so the FDA isn’t so much worried about the number of corpses as much as how they died.
1500 animals seems like a really low number for the development of a medical device.

And killing a shitton of animals to do so.
