Elon Musk’s journey:

Age 51: buys Twitter, becomes CEO
Age 45: starts Boring Co
Age 45: starts @Neuralink
Age 44: starts OpenAI
Age 32: starts Tesla
Age 30: starts SpaceX
Age 28: starts X (becomes PayPal)
Age 24: starts Zip2 (sold to Compaq)
Age 19: sells PCs in college dorm

@Neuralink will have its first AI brain chip trial in 2023 if the FDA approves it.

The company believes they will be able to potentially restore sight in blind people and possibly give people with severed spinal cords the ability to walk again.

It is amazing how far technology has come...

The U.S. Department of Transportation is investigating Elon Musk's brain-implant company — Neuralink — over allegations of illegally moving hazardous pathogens.

“You could have a Neuralink device implanted right now and you wouldn’t even know. I mean, hypothetically ... In fact, in one of these demos, I will.”

"First @Neuralink product will enable someone with paralysis to use a smartphone with their mind faster than someone using thumbs," Musk said in April 2021.

Neuralink also believes its device will eventually be able to restore neural activity inside the body, allowing those with spinal cord injuries to move limbs.

Animal care at @Neuralink

At @Neuralink, we have imaging capabilities that let us see exactly what’s going on in fully sealed devices. For implant debugging, we often capture high-resolution 2D and 3D images with microCT. It’s what’s on the inside that counts ♥️

We are building surgery simulations for faster iteration and better test coverage. Join us to help expand this capability🦾

Bath time! 🛁 Our accelerated lifetime tester ages our implants at 4x speed. Developing new ways of expediting long-duration testing at scale allows us to iterate faster, identify low probability failures, and reduce animal use

I would get the @Neuralink brain chip, would you?

Monkey business 🐒🌈

We are excited to share that we have received the FDA’s approval to launch our first-in-human clinical study!

This is the result of incredible work by the Neuralink team in close collaboration with the FDA and represents an important first step that will one day allow our technology to help many people.

Recruitment is not yet open for our clinical trial. We’ll announce more information on this soon!

Our thin, flexible threads are a few red blood cells wide, minimizing the brain’s response to them. We use scanning electron microscopy to verify process control, understand defects, and sometimes take glamour shots 🔬

We want to surpass able-bodied human performance with our technology. Using only his mind, here's precision cursor control from Pager (star of Monkey MindPong) achieving 65% and 88% of the median Neuralinker using a mouse. Join us to breakthrough to 110% and beyond! 🧠
