Musk’s brain chip interface technology (Neuralace/Neuralink) end-game is not to help those who are blind or paralyzed but rather to “jumpstart the next-stage of evolution to merge humans with Ai.”
January 30, 2024: According to the Wall Street Journal, Elon Musk announced today that Neuralink has implanted the first brain chip in human. I highly doubt this is true.

Based on BlackRock Neurotech’s 510k clearance, Elon Musk never needed to conduct human FDA trials to prove safety or efficacy.

If a high-risk medical device can show the FDA that similar devices had received FDA PMA approval or were given 510k clearance in the past, a company can simply submit a 510k application and receive FDA clearance for use in patients within 30 days of submitting the application.
