The famous American billionaire businessman Elon Musk said on the social network X that his innovative project Neuralink, which specialises in creating brain implants, has implanted a chip into the human brain for the first time, reports 
“Yesterday, the first person received our implant and is now recovering. The first results demonstrate the effectiveness of the connection with neurons,”
– Musk said.
He also said that this brain implant allows you to control a smartphone or computer with the help of thoughts, which opens the way to controlling various devices.
The Neuralink product is calledTelepathy and will initially be available for people who have lost the ability to move their limbs.
“Imagine if Stephen Hawking could communicate faster than a typist or an auctioneer. That’s what we’re striving for,”
– Musk said.
Musk founded Neuralink in 2016 to create brain implants. He believes that such technologies have a great future and can help people with diseases such as Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s, as well as people with paralysis and congenital brain disorders.
The company began recruiting volunteers for clinical trials to implant brain implants in September 2023.
Earlier it was reported that four US lawmakers have asked the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to investigate whether Elon Musk may have misled investors about the safety of the Neuralink brain implant.
