PETA founder and president Ingrid Newkirk says she will send South African billionaire Elon Musk a piece of her heart after she dies because she doesn’t think he has one, Insider reports.

Newkirk, 74, spoke in an interview with Rolling Stone magazine about her decision to send various parts of her body around the world after her death as part of a posthumous campaign to raise awareness of respect for animal rights.

She said she would give Musk a third of her heart, but she doesn’t want to think she would because the billionaire who owns Tesla, SpaceX and Twitter would be dear to her heart.

“Don’t get me wrong: I was thinking about my heart because I don’t think he has one,” Newkirk said. According to her, this decision is related to Mask’s less publicized company Neuralink.

“I mean, he’s brilliant. There is no doubt about it. But he has a series of experiments for Neuralink, you know, his brain implant company, and these 250 monkeys died,” explained the president of PETA, the world’s most famous animal rights organization.

However, Rolling Stone magazine notes that another American NGO, the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, believes that only 23 monkeys died as a result of Neuralink experiments, and that the neuroscience research company founded by Musk killed a total of about 1,500 animals in the last 5 years .

Last February, this American non-profit organization, which includes more than 17,000 doctors, filed a petition with the US Department of Agriculture, accusing Neuralink of violating the Animal Welfare Act.

Representatives of Neuralink admit that the monkeys died during the experiments, but deny that animal husbandry standards were violated during these and other activities.

Late last month, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) gave Neuralink the go-ahead for its first human clinical trial, after denying several requests from Musk’s company to do so.

As for Ingrid Newkirk, she is also a controversial figure as PETA has been embroiled in several controversies and public scandals over the years. This was partly due to the fact that the organization provided financial support to extremists found guilty of setting fire to research laboratories in the US as part of PETA’s campaigns to ban all animal experiments.

In 2003, PETA’s advertising campaign called “The Holocaust on Your Plate” drew sharp criticism from Israel and the Jewish community around the world.

In this campaign, the Newkirk-led organization juxtaposed images of Nazi concentration camps with photos of animal farms to suggest that the way Jews were exterminated in the Holocaust was no different from the way animals raised for food were treated.
