Scientists regenerate neurons that restore walking in mice after paralysis from spinal cord injury::In a new study in mice, a team of researchers from UCLA, the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, and Harvard University have uncovered a crucial component for restoring functional activity after spinal cord injury. The neuroscientists have shown that re-growing specific neurons back to their natural target regions led to recovery, while random regrowth was not effective.

This is the right way to solve paralysis, not Elon-killing-monkeys.
Monkeys are the next step.
Well, probably dogs or cats first. But eventually monkeys.
"Professor: As a man enters his 18th decade, he thinks back on the mistakes he made in life. Amy: Like the heaps of the dead monkeys? Professor: Science can not move forward without heaps!"
180 years old?
Its a futurama quote
if only there were elon-killing-monkeys
I hope they eat well.
This was done by Courtines‘ Team in Switzerland not Musk.
Their comment was in relation to Neuralink being in the news about killing monkeys, recently, not attributing OP’s news to him.
I know, I’m referring to a separate story that used an implant to wirelessly transmit the signal to the spinal cord. They were killing a bunch of cats and monkeys as well for their research. But they approached this responsibly and got a working prototype that helped a patient to walk again: https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-65689580
