Elon Musk has shown himself to be increasingly interested in investing in cutting-edge technology as one of the points of human evolution. He has done this through research on space transportation, and now also through the brain chips. Since, as early as August 2021, the billionaire owner of Tesla announced his interest in brain chip research.

According to Musk, through this chip, an unprecedented interface would be created between men and machines. For this, he has partnered with eight businessmen who are also interested in installing this technology. Incidentally, there is already talk of a forecast for the installation of brain chips later this year.
For those who think that the use of chips in humans is a technology for the distant future, know that Musk is in a hurry. After all, the neurolink is already in its first testing phase, but still with laboratory animals.
According to information provided by Musk himself, these chips would be the size of a coin. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, the billionaire said he was excited about the tests being done on animals. Also during this interview, Musk declared that he faithfully believes that the chip is an evolution for the human beings, and that along with the application of the neurolink, several other benefits will be available.
For example, Musk says that through neurolink it will be possible to reverse serious spinal cord injuries, offering hope to quadriplegics. Finally, he also said that he is just waiting for approval from the US regulatory agency for the start of applications.
