Elon Musk, the co-founder of Neuralink and OpenAI, announces that mind-reading brain implants by his startup Neuralink Corp. will be ready to test on humans in about six months. “Obviously, we want to be extremely careful and certain that it will work well before putting a device in a human,” he said. “But we’ve submitted, I think, most of our paperwork to the [U.S. Food and Drug Administration], and we think probably in about six months we should be able to have our first Neuralink in a human.” – Elon Musk

Neuralink held an event to share the company’s progress in creating a small chip that can be embedded with brains to create “a direct link between the brain and everyday technology,” as described on its website. The initial goal is to help people overcome paralysis and restore lost senses, but Musk has also hyped the possibility of mind-to-mind communication.

The company is also developing a “surgical robot” to thread wires into the brain after removing a portion of the patient’s skull. During a Q&A session with Neuralink employees at the event, the company said it’s working to address FDA concerns about the device OVERHEATING and TOXIC CHEMICALS LEACHING INTO THE BRAIN, the Wall Street Journal reported.

Dinesh D’Souza is correct, this is quite scary to think about for the future, and according to Musk, it will not be the distant future, but possibly six months away from testing on a human. I do not want anything implanted in my brain as it is a dangerous tool that can be used for tracking. If they can create a device to put in our brains to communicate with one another, what else have they added to the technology they have not divulged? As far as Musk goes, I like him and enjoy watching the liberals fall apart on Twitter. Musk seems like a conservative-leaning man, but his involvement with StarLink, Neuralink, and OpenAI causes me to distrust him as well.

Neuralink has conducted clinical trials on animals, including primates, for several years. The company was accused of alleged abuse and grotesque deaths of monkeys it experimented on, which it denied.

During the “show and tell,” Musk showed a video of a Neuralink-implanted monkey doing “telepathic typing” – moving a computer cursor with its mind over highlighted letters over a keyboard.  He says they treat their primates well and that the monkeys seem happy.

When this technology comes to market, of course it will be up to the individual whether they want this implanted into their brain. My fear however, is that with the way our governments are attempting to control us, they will definitely want to purchase it and try to use this as another tool against us and possibly one day force this device into us against our will.
