“There is a clear path to restoring hearing with a @Neuralink, even for someone who has had total loss of hearing since birth, as our device directly activates the neurons in the brain that process sound [@BasedBeffJezos] Next @neuralink product should aim to restore hearing”
“There are still people like Sam Harris who think that ANY lie, no mattter how depraved, is justified to prevent @realDonaldTrump from being democratically elected or, if elected, to remove from office. Is TDS curable or does the brain turn into irreparable melted goo?”
“True [@MarioNawfal] 🚨SLEEP DEPRIVATION DAMAGES YOUR BRAIN—LITERALLY Sleep deprivation isn’t just tiring—it’s brain damage. A study on young participants found that just one night of bad sleep increased levels of the protein S-100B by 20%—the same spike seen in traumatic brain injuries. Once in… )”
“A major part of real-world AI has to be solved to make unsupervised, generalized full self-driving work, as the entire road system is designed for biological neural nets with optical imagers”
“Neuralink is partnering with UAE and Cleveland Clinic! [@neuralink] 🇦🇪 We’re launching our first clinical trial in the Middle East at Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi in partnership with the Department of Health Abu Dhabi! The UAE-PRIME trial explores how individuals with motor and speech impairment can use thought to control devices & communicate.”
“That is the goal [@aerocopz] Elon Musk @elonmusk shows how his companies work for the benefit of humanity: "SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink, and The Boring Company are philanthropy. If you say philanthropy is love of humanity, they are philanthropy. Tesla is accelerating sustainable energy; this is philanthropy.”
“Please consider working at Neuralink! Short-term: solve brain/spine injuries Long-term: human/AI symbiosis Latter will be species-level important Work at either at our Bay Area or Austin locations”
“Neuralink is accepting applications for the second participant. This is our Telepathy cybernetic brain implant that allows you to control your phone and computer just by thinking. No one better than Noland (@ModdedQuad) himself to tell you about the first!”
“Neuralink enables people with ALS to speak again [@neuralink] “When you haven’t heard someone talk for four years, the thought that they might be able to talk again was mind blowing."”
“Companies are flooding out of Delaware, because the activist chief judge of the Delaware court has no respect for shareholder rights [@MarioNawfal] 🚨BILL ACKMAN MOVES HIS FIRM FROM DELAWARE TO NEVADA Ackman said top law firms are now recommending Nevada and Texas over Delaware as incorporation hubs. This shift follows a trend set by Elon, who recently moved Tesla, SpaceX, and Neuralink’s incorporation out of Delaware.… )”
“Yeah [@MarioNawfal] Chamath: “I Was Completely Brainwashed by Mainstream Media Like Everyone Else” “It’s about the truth. There was a moment where I was basically like everybody else and pretty brainwashed. My media diet was very much the same as everybody else’s. I read the New York Times and… https://x.com/i/web/status/2016353584883831012”
“Restoring broken neural pathways [@neuralink] What is neuron degeneration? Skyler, a machine learning engineer at Neuralink, shares how brain-computer interfaces could bypass neural pathways that are broken due to ALS, helping restore the ability to speak to those who have lost it.”
“Detailed update on @neuralink https://t.co/eyPWB87CC5”
“Later versions will be able to shunt signals from Neuralinks in brain to Neuralinks in body motor/sensory neuron clusters, thus enabling, for example, paraplegics to walk again”
“@iamharaldur Those are the right questions to ask. They have been troubling me for many years. Neuralink was created as a possible long-term solution to human+AI symbiosis.”
“@jordanbpeterson Compared to AI, progress with Neuralink will be slow and easy to assess, as there is large regulatory apparatus approving medical devices. There is no regulatory oversight of AI, which is a *major* problem. I’ve been calling for AI safety regulation for over a decade!”
“You can sense the sentience maturing [@DrJimFan] I was very late to own a Tesla but among the earliest to try out FSD v14. It's perhaps the first time I experience an AI that passes the Physical Turing Test: after a long day at work, you press a button, lay back, and couldn't tell if a neural net or a human drove you home.… https://x.com/i/web/status/2003593613918531891”
“Neuralink will start high-volume production of brain-computer interface devices and move to a streamlined, almost entirely automated surgical procedure in 2026. Device threads will go through the dura, without the need to remove it. This is a big deal. [@SERobinsonJr] NEURALINK 2025: - Received FDA Breakthrough Device Designation for its speech restoration technology targeting severe speech impairments. - Launched its first clinical trial in the Middle East (UAE-PRIME) at Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi in partnership with the Department of… https://x.com/i/web/status/2006500580777406801”
“This would help a lot of people [@shivon] You’d literally be working on giving those who have lost mobility the powers of telepathy and telekineses to regain lost parts of their lives + making the Neuralink device even better in the future! Anyone who wants a job that fills their heart with meaning should consider this!)”
“@neuralink Long-term, it is possible to shunt the signals from the brain motor cortex past the damaged part of the spine to enable people to walk again and use their arms normally”
“Lengthy background on Neuralink by @waitbutwhy https://t.co/z2YfAupDRD https://waitbutwhy.com/2017/04/neuralink.html”
“Using a neural net to detect rain using cameras (no dedicated rain or sun sensors). Computers are very patient. https://t.co/YM0tQ6vLOV https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=K7zKvHEbgS8”
“@leastImAlive @PPathole Yeah, sold my houses, except for 1 in Bay Area that’s rented out for events. Working on sustainable energy for Earth with Tesla & protecting future of consciousness by making life multiplanetary with SpaceX. Also, AI risk mitigation with Neuralink & fixing traffic with Boring.”
“@Model3Owners It’s a quintillion (10^18) floating point operations per second – enough to simulate a human brain”
“Long Neuralink piece coming out on @waitbutwhy in about a week. Difficult to dedicate the time, but existential risk is too high not to.”
“@MarioNawfal This may sound crazy, but I am coming around to liking @BernieSanders. Our views as to how to best serve humanity are different, but he seems authentic in his desire to do so. Btw, Neuralink will ultimately help tens of millions of people with serious brain or spine issues.…”
“@Tesla Whether you plan to buy a Dual Motor Performance Model 3 or not, take it for a test drive anyway. It’s like having pure fun jacked straight into your brain whenever you want.”
“@neuralink @shivon Great review! Neuralink is open to working with neuroscientists to advance the field. Short-term goal is addressing brain & spine problems. Ultimate goal is symbiosis of human & machine intelligence.”
“@teslaownersSV @jonmcneill Just like AI, human neural net training takes a long time, but inference (applying the knowledge) is relatively easy”
“@MarcusHouse This is not much consolation, but Neuralink is working on a vision chip, which will be ready in a few years. That is the next area after enabling phone/computer telepathy for those who have lost their mind-body connection. We waiting for regulatory approval for our first human.”
“@Teslarati @ResidentSponge It is an electronics/mechanical/software engineering problem for the Neuralink device that is similar in complexity level to smart watches (which are not easy!), plus the surgical robot, which is comparable to state-of-the art CNC machines. No need for AI/ NN/ML quite yet.”

“@ModdedQuad @joerogan Noland and I discussed a possible second Neuralink (next gen version) that would allow his other brain hemisphere to interact telepathically with his computer. This would be like having two-handed control ability, the equivalent of mouse and keyboard.”
“@neuralink Aiming to restore (limited) sight to the completely blind next year”
“@TesLatino Thanks to a great Autopilot/AI team working super hard! Doing “neural nets” without testing them against reality has led some groups to overestimate what they’re doing. Reality is the hardest sim.”

“@WholeMarsBlog With @Neuralink interfacing directly to the visual cortex, even those who are completely blind will be able to see again. Computer vision will be limited at first, like early computer graphics, but ultimately will exceed the best human eyes.”
“RT @Tesla_AI: You drive with eyes and a brain, not a suite of sensors Our cars do the same”
“@MarioNawfal Sure would! I think Neuralink could fix back pain.”
“@24_7TeslaNews @Teslarati @ResidentSponge Current generation Neuralinks can help to some degree, but an advanced case of Alzheimers often involves macro degeneration of the brain. However, Neuralinks should theoretically be able restore almost any functionality lost due *localized* brain damage from stroke or injury.”
