Musk Says Neuralink Implanted Third Patient With Brain Device

(Bloomberg) -- Neuralink Corp.’s brain-computer device has been implanted in a third patient and the company has plans for about 20 to 30 more implants in 2025, founder Elon Musk said.

“We’ve got now three humans with Neuralinks implanted and they’re all working well,” Musk said during an event in Las Vegas this week that was streamed on X, his social media service.

Neuralink is one of a growing group of startups developing brain implants that can help treat conditions such as paralysis and ALS. They are experimental procedures that usually require opening up the skull to place electrodes in the brain tissue. A year ago, Neuralink said it had implanted its device in its initial patient, Noland Arbaugh.

Potentially a good thing, that no doubt will eventually be used for evil.

There is some weird stuff going on, and Musk is involved in it.

Medical stuff always starts with good intentions.

Then the enemy twists it.

Then you end up with mRNA vaccines or the "MAID" suicide on demand program. How quickly abortion to save the life of the mother became abortion under any and every circumstance at any age of the baby.

I'm quite sure DARPA is watching this closely with an eye to enhancing humans - as super soldiers. This won't just be limited to helping people with ALS which usually (not always) results in death around 2-3 years after diagnosis, and involves progressive neurological problems that affect speech and finally the ability to breathe.
