"Neuralink cleared by US FDA to study implant allowing interface between human brains and computers."
“It actually fits quite nicely in your skull,” Musk said during a prior presentation.
“It could be under your hair and you wouldn’t know.”
"Neuralink's first attempt at gaining FDA approval in 2022 was rejected on safety grounds, "
"Neuralink has killed an estimated 1,500 animals since 2018, including sheep, pigs and monkeys, Reuters reported. While it is unclear how many died due to complications with Neuralink's brain implants, Futurism reported that, in one Neuralink experiment involving 23 monkeys, five, or 21%, of the test subjects were euthanized due to device-related issues."
"Neuralink has not disclosed details of its trial application, the FDA’s rejection or the extent of the agency’s concerns. As a private company, it is not required to disclose such regulatory interactions to investors."
"The agency declined to comment on Neuralink, citing laws keeping commercial information private."
Text"In explaining the decision to Neuralink, the agency outlined dozens of issues the company must address before human testing"
"Musk said. "Even if someone has never had vision, ever, like they were born blind, we believe we can still restore vision,"
"Neurons, or nerve cells, communicate via electrical signals to coordinate our thoughts, feelings and behavior. Neuralink's implants, which have only been tested in animals, would theoretically work by interpreting these electrical signals and transmitting the decoded information to a computer via Bluetooth."
Both disabled and healthy people will pop into neighborhood facilities for speedy surgical insertions of devices with functions ranging from curing obesity, autism, depression or schizophrenia to web-surfing and telepathy. Eventually, Musk has said, such chips will turn humans into cyborgs who can fend off the threat from sentient machines powered by artificial intelligence.
“I could have a Neuralink device implanted right now, and you wouldn’t even know,” Musk said at the Nov. 30 presentation, a livestreamed “show and tell” event, drawing laughs from the crowd. At another public company event in 2020, he said: “You’ll be able to save and replay memories….The future is going to be weird.”
"Anyone within the United States who is at least 18 years old and the age of majority in their state, who is able to consent, and who has quadriplegia, paraplegia, vision loss, hearing loss, and/or the inability to speak, is invited to participate in the Patient Registry."

Abandon Hope all ye who enter here, we are riding on the rails of unhinged and dangerous beliefs.
Come sit with me on this trail of breadcrumbs as I attempt to save your soul, no...the very soul of humanity.
**this is not a religious diatribe***
You ever start reading something, and that leads you to read something else, and then another, and another....of coarse you do, you are here reading this after all!
In my recent readings I came across an interesting article.
Elon Musk’s Neuralink brain implant firm cleared for human trials
"Neuralink cleared by US FDA to study implant allowing interface between human brains and computers."
“It actually fits quite nicely in your skull,” Musk said during a prior presentation.
“It could be under your hair and you wouldn’t know.”
Which led me to another,
Elon Musk's Neuralink 'brain chips' cleared for 1st in-human trials
as well as an interesting supporting video.
The information is, in my opinion, astounding. On one hand we have a technology that is striving to mend and improve the lives of many people across the globe.
The Brain–computer interface, or "BCI technology" is being used by many different companies, each striving to make a difference (or a profit) by advancing our understanding of the brain and utilize revolutionary technology to advance medical science.
Then I came across another, older article from over a year ago.
NEURALINK SAYS 21 PERCENT OF ITS MONKEYS DIED BECAUSE OF BRAIN IMPLANT ISSUES
"Neuralink's first attempt at gaining FDA approval in 2022 was rejected on safety grounds, "
"Neuralink has killed an estimated 1,500 animals since 2018, including sheep, pigs and monkeys, Reuters reported. While it is unclear how many died due to complications with Neuralink's brain implants, Futurism reported that, in one Neuralink experiment involving 23 monkeys, five, or 21%, of the test subjects were euthanized due to device-related issues."
And then another, very in depth article. this one was from just months ago.
U.S. regulators rejected Elon Musk’s bid to test brain chips in humans
"Neuralink has not disclosed details of its trial application, the FDA’s rejection or the extent of the agency’s concerns. As a private company, it is not required to disclose such regulatory interactions to investors."
"The agency declined to comment on Neuralink, citing laws keeping commercial information private."
In this article, staffers at the FDA are quoted as stating,
Text"In explaining the decision to Neuralink, the agency outlined dozens of issues the company must address before human testing"
But suddenly the FDA has now given Neuralink the greenlight.
In my curiosity to learn why the FDA had suddenly changed its mind, I came across another article...the one dot that connected the bigger picture and brought me full circle, right back to ATS of all places. It was a surprising revelation, so to speak.
Elon Musk's next target: Making the blind see
"Musk said. "Even if someone has never had vision, ever, like they were born blind, we believe we can still restore vision,"
I though well THATS cool! until I kept reading and came across some information that gave me pause. and brought me right to the rickety rails of this unhinged rabbit hole.
"Neurons, or nerve cells, communicate via electrical signals to coordinate our thoughts, feelings and behavior. Neuralink's implants, which have only been tested in animals, would theoretically work by interpreting these electrical signals and transmitting the decoded information to a computer via Bluetooth."
I literally paused, and held my breath as I searched here on ATS for a recent thread...
Turning Bluetooth on its head
You can read here were one proposed an idea that bluetooth technology was adapted to control billions of humans. You can even read where
I, while admittedly sarcastic, made the attempt to connect the dots after the theory was dismissed.
www.abovetopsecret.com...
But with this new information, that Musk has planned to use Bluetooth in conjunction with Neuralink, nearly took my breath away.
Now back to the Rueters article, while being a bit admittedly eccentric, Musk is quoted as saying,
Both disabled and healthy people will pop into neighborhood facilities for speedy surgical insertions of devices with functions ranging from curing obesity, autism, depression or schizophrenia to web-surfing and telepathy. Eventually, Musk has said, such chips will turn humans into cyborgs who can fend off the threat from sentient machines powered by artificial intelligence.
“I could have a Neuralink device implanted right now, and you wouldn’t even know,” Musk said at the Nov. 30 presentation, a livestreamed “show and tell” event, drawing laughs from the crowd. At another public company event in 2020, he said: “You’ll be able to save and replay memories….The future is going to be weird.”

Your post reminds me of when the Catholic church held Galileo's feet to the fire.

I don’t think musk invented this device much less the concept, why is he the anti christ?

There is some parts of revelations that allude to the antichrist being a woman .
