Musk announces first Neuralink chip implanted in a human. 'The initial results are promising' - Elon Musk.
In May, Musk's company announced that it had received the green light from the Food and Drug Administration to conduct the first tests on humans. Recruitment of volunteers began at the end of last year, and the patient is "recovering well," Musk said. The company has already conducted extensive studies on implants in animals, drawing criticism from many activists who say the company has abused animal rights.
