First asked Jan 6, 2024, most recently Nov 14, 2025. Excerpts below are from machine transcripts with filler words (um, uh, you know) and stutters removed; … marks a cut. They are not checked word for word, so use the link to hear the exact words, or the transcript link for the raw text. Timestamps: 0 cross-checked against YouTube captions, 4 from the archive transcript only. X has no link-to-time option, so X links open at the start.

Q: When can I plug into an Optimus with my Neuralink connection?
Well, hopefully the first neuralinks will. The first neuralink in a human will hopefully be soon, within the next, maybe this month or next. Now this is really just at first just trying to give your quadriplegic, quadriplegics and tetraplegics the ability to control their phone and computer. It's basically like the first product is telepathy essentially, or telekinesis. And then the second product, so tentatively …

Q: Is Neuralink a medical company or is it the first step towards symbiosis with AI?
It starts off as a medical technology, so neuralink's initial goals are really to help people who have quadriplegic tetraplegic since they've lost the use of their body, and to be able to enable them to control their phone or computer just by thinking. And I think we, eight patients so far and all eight love the device and are using it every day, so it's helped a lot of people and I think we're, the Neuralink team …

Q: What do you, what do you see continuing to see that integration between, let's say, neuralink and even, even Grok as things continue to grow?
Yeah. GROG will actually be able to understand the signals from you. So the neural links connecting to your brain and then sending the signals to Grog and then Grok can actually understand those signals at kind of like a binary level as opposed to having to translate it into words and so greatly improve the efficiency with which you can use your neuralink device. Like it's so, I mean, we're really getting into some …

Q: Have we been able to make progress in that area?
Yes. So that's a component of two of my companies. One is being Neuralink and the other being Tesla. So Neuralink is also making good progress. Now has, I think, over 10 patients with neural link implants. And these people who didn't have the ability to move their arms or legs in some cases were completely locked in, like Stephen Hawking. And they can now communicate if they think as quickly, almost as quickly as …

@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.

The Blindsight device from Neuralink will enable even those who have lost both eyes and their optic nerve to see. Provided the visual cortex is intact, it will even enable those who have been blind from birth to see for the first time. To set expectations correctly, the vision will be at first be low resolution, like Atari graphics, but eventually it has the potential be better than natural vision and enable you to see in infrared, ultraviolet or even radar wavelengths, like Geordi La Forge. Much appreciated, @US_FDA!

Congrats to the @Neuralink team for helping many people who have lost use of their body with our Telepathy implant that enables computer use simply by thinking! The next generation Neuralink cybernetic augment with 3X capability will be ready later this year. Pending regulatory approval, we are also ready to do our first Blindsight augment that will enable those who have even complete loss of vision to see in low resolution at first, leading to high resolution over time.

@deaflibertarian I am confident that Neuralink will restore hearing one day, just as we will restore vision with our Blindsight implant

Neuralink has solved through-dura electrode implantation! This is a very big deal, as it greatly improves the safety and ease of interfacing with the brain.

@peterrhague Among other things, @Neuralink will enable quadriplegics to use their hands and walk again and the completely blind to see. Jesus-level miracles.
