Elon Musk’s Neuralink: Ever seen a movie where people have neuro chips implanted in their brains, and suddenly they become capable of doing tasks like a robot, things that ordinary humans struggle with? Well, believe it or not, it’s now a reality, marking a historic moment. Neuralink, a company founded by the world-renowned entrepreneur Elon Musk, has successfully implanted a chip into a human brain for the first time. Musk himself shared this groundbreaking news through a post on his social media platform, X.
The first human received an implant from @Neuralink yesterday and is recovering well.
Initial results show promising neuron spike detection.

Elon Musk pays tribute to the legendary scientist Stephen Hawking
Musk wrote on X that merely by thinking, you can control almost any device, be it your phone or computer, and communicate through them. Early users could be individuals who have lost the use of their limbs. Imagine if Stephen Hawking could communicate even faster than a speed typist or auctioneer—all thanks to this ambitious endeavor.
Building a positive relationship between humans and AI
After potentially treating neurological disorders like ALS or Parkinson’s through the discovery of this chip, Musk envisions a future where a strong connection is established between humans and artificial intelligence. Musk’s ambition extends to supercharging human capabilities through Neuralink.
