Can you elaborate more on why you think “none of this seems gruesome”? To most people, experimentation on animals that results in such unthinkable suffering is abhorrent. Is such practices simply “the norm”?

Besides that, the central argument of the article is it disputes the Neuralink/Musk’s claim that “the monkeys died due to unforeseen complications”. Instead, what seems more likely is Neuralink experiments were directly responsible for the gruesome deaths of their test subjects. None of what you wrote addresses or refutes the evidence presented in the article.
