Former Neuralink employee Lindsay Short sues, alleging forced work with infected monkeys, retaliation, and gender-based discrimination.

Neuralink, Elon Musk's brain-implant startup, is facing a lawsuit from a former employee, Lindsay Short, who alleges being forced to work with Herpes B virus-infected monkeys without proper protective gear, and was fired after announcing her pregnancy. Short's lawsuit accuses Neuralink of retaliation, wrongful termination, and gender-based discrimination. This adds to growing scrutiny on Neuralink's treatment of animals and workplace practices.
