Earlier this year, the US Food and Drug Administration gave Neuralink, which Musk cofounded in 2016, approval to launch human trials of its device that Musk has described as a “Fitbit in your skull.” The FDA had previously rejected Neuralink’s bid for human testing in March over safety concerns, Reuters reported, including that the wires connected to the brain chip could move within a subject’s head or that the chip could overheat.

      Dad got his brain chip in 2010. Worked great. Had nothing to do with neuralink. They’ve been doing these implants safely for at least that long. The fact that musk can’t keep monkeys alive says a lot about the fact that neuralink isn’t ready.

        That’s fascinating, could you share a manufacturer name? I’d love to look into what kind of brain chips are out there that aren’t from phony stark
