Elon Musk's brain-implant startup Neuralink's employee said that she was later fired after telling her supervisors that she was pregnant.
Elon Musk's brain-implant startup Neuralink Corp. forced an employee to work with monkeys that carried the Herpes B virus in conditions in which the animals scratched her bare skin, according to a complaint filed Friday in state court in California.
The employee, Lindsay Short, said that once she transferred to the company's Fremont, California, site in August 2022, she encountered "a work environment fraught with blame, shame, and impossible deadlines." She said she was later fired after telling her supervisors that she was pregnant.
Short sued the company for retaliation, wrongful termination and discrimination based on her gender among other issues.
