I will say that I'm surprised people are shocked by this. Of course they're animal testing; I don't think anyone would expect that they experiment on actual live humans until pretty late in the research process.
The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine reckons 15 of 23 monkeys were killed and all were subjected to "psychological distress, extreme suffering, and chronic infections due to surgeries".
Equally as bad though, is Elon is definitely going full Elon on the benefits of Neuralink but experts in the area are dismissing it as hyperbole (shocking, I know).

Plenty of evidence to know that animal testing is happening in pretty bleak circumstances at Neuralink...it's just the 3200+ number that is dubious. Even the Daily Mail are steering clear if it.
