"Progress is good, and the patient seems to have made a full recovery, with neural effects that we are aware of. Patient is able to move a mouse around the screen by just thinking,” Musk revealed.

Neuralink was founded by Musk in July 2016 and is developing chips that will be embedded in the human brain in the future. Musk believes that such neural interfaces will allow humans to become cyborgs capable of standing up to artificial intelligence and help people control computers directly with the power of thought. On May 25, 2023, the company announced that it had received FDA approval for human clinical trials.

In late January, Musk announced the successful implantation of the Neuralink implant into the human brain. According to him, the performance of the device is impressive with promising results.
