The first human received a Neuralink implant yesterday and is "recovering well," Musk wrote on his social media platform X.


Elon Musk claims his Neuralink business has successfully implanted one of its chip implants into a human brain.


In a post on X on Monday, the billionaire stated that the patient is doing well after surgery on Sunday, adding that preliminary results indicate promising neuron spike detection.


According to the company website, Neuralink seeks to connect human brains to computers in order to assist treat neurological diseases and "unlock human potential tomorrow."


The milestone marks the beginning of the company's road to commercial use.


The Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the US medical authority, approved the company's first trial in May of last year.


The method involves inserting 64 flexible threads into a region of the brain that regulates movement intention.

The threads are so fine that a robot must insert them. The threads then enable the implant to capture and send brain impulses to an app, which decodes how a person chooses to move.


The implant is powered by a battery that can be remotely charged.


Musk said on X, the social media network he owns that was previously known as Twitter, that Neuralink's first product would be called Telepathy.


He explained the concept of telepathy, which grants you the ability to exert "total command over your phone or computer, and even manipulate nearly any device, solely through the power of your thoughts.


" Additionally, he acknowledged that the "primary beneficiaries of this technology would be individuals who have become physically impaired and can no longer utilize their limbs."


Imagine a world where Stephen Hawking could communicate at lightning speed, surpassing even the fastest typists and auctioneers. That's the ultimate goal, he explained.



Neuralink was not the first startup to implant brain chips. Another US technology company, Blackrock Neurotech, began implanting brain-computer interfaces in 2004.

Credit: INSTAGRAM @Bar7Ranch The choice of a Texas couple to charge their 19-year-old daughter rent for staying at home after high school has sparked an intense debate over responsible parenting and money management. The over one million-follower Gatesville, Texas couple, Erika and Cody Archie, announced on TikTok that they will be charging their daughter Kylee $200 a month for rent beginning June 1, 2022, only two weeks after she graduates from high school. The Archies' decision is in line with a rising discussion over the best ways to instill financial responsibility in young individuals.  About 50% of American people between the ages of 18 and 29 live with their parents as of July 2022, according to Pew Research Center . This is a huge rise from earlier decades.

Vegan Bride uninvites all meat-eating family and friends from her wedding.: ‘We prefer not to entertain murderers’

Image by  melancholiaphotography  from  Pixabay Imagine being uninvited to a wedding not because you forgot to RSVP, but because you eat meat. That's exactly what happened to the majority of the guest list at an all-vegan wedding, who were told they were "murderers" for being omnivores and thus barred from attending the big day.  According to a recent Reddit thread, the 20-year-old bride used a Facebook group called ' Vegan Revolution ' to explain why she had not invited any meat-eaters to her wedding. Related:  My wedding will be alcohol-free, and I kindly request that those who cannot enjoy the event without alcohol refrain from attending She continued, "You know, it's funny how 'family' can try to guilt trip you into inviting them to your completely vegan wedding, even though they eat everything."

A millennial mom recently went viral asking “toxic” boomers to stop bullying kids they don’t know into conversation.

TikTok: @Kay.n.zee She recounted a time when a woman commented repeatedly on her daughter’s appearance at Target. “I don’t think you’re pretty,” she said, but the stranger persisted.  “I told my daughter that she knows she’s beautiful, but she doesn’t like talking to strangers.” The maker of a TikTok #toxicboomer video questioned, "Why would you want to plant that idea in her head?" in a follow-up video. "Millennial parents are putting a lot of effort into ending these harmful cycles, but they just discard it whenever they have the chance to pass it on to a helpless child." On another outing, she said, a “boomer man” praised her daughter’s “perfect olive complexion” and asked “where” she was “from.” Last month, in another video, she responded to a viewer’s question about what a “good boundary” should be for these types of interactions. “I don’t mind the interactions as long as the daughter doesn’t mind them,” she said. “But if a child isn’t responding after you’ve ...
