Just a dude with a Neuralink trying to navigate this thing called life.

Yesterday, two Boeing E/A-18G Growlers collided mid-air during an airshow demonstration at Mountain Home AFB, Idaho.
All four pilots successfully ejected using the Martin-Baker US14A (NACES) Ejection Seat.

A Neuralink chip was implanted in Noland Arbaugh’s brain, and he broke the world record for BCI cursor control in his very first session.
"I have a chip that was implanted onto my skull, and there are 64 threads with 16 electrodes on each thread, implanted in my motor cortex, and now I can control the computer with my thoughts."
"Video games came first. I just played video games for hours, and it was great."
"Controlling a computer, I think a lot of people take for granted what they're able to do. For me, it became reconnecting with the world in some way, whether that's through social media or texting or emailing."
"I took 22 credit hours. I got a 4.0. I was much more capable than I thought I was."

$67 million per jet… gone in the blink of an eye.
Two Navy EA-18G Growlers smashed mid-air yesterday at Idaho’s
Gunfighter Skies air show.
Four pilots ejected safely and walked away.
But $134 million in taxpayer hardware turned into fireballs on the ground.
They were doing a tight formation demo the kind that looks insane on purpose.
Investigation ongoing… but damn.
How close is “too close” when the price tag is this high?

@neuralink Controlling an Optimus comes to mind, and controlling a motorized self-driving wheelchair.

After a car accident left her paralyzed from the neck down, Audrey didn’t think she would be able to draw or paint again.
20 years later, she became the first female participant in our clinical trials. Now, she uses her brain-computer interface to create art with her mind.

@neuralink @elonmusk If the media didn’t hate Elon so much, they’d be talking about the wonders of Neuralink. But they won’t.

NEURALINK recipient CJ (Curt Johnson, @SCI_Borg24) and his wife have started a campaign to help with their travel expenses needed to use air ambulance transfers to Miami to meet Neuralink trial obligations at the Miami Project to Cure Paralysis.
Commercial flights are banned due to CJ's ventilator, they are still paying off previous air ambulance bills from as far back as 2020, and they lost Medicaid funding last month, causing denied prescriptions, terminated PCA services, and a $4,000 bill for respiratory supplies.
The flights are needed for CJ to continue in the trial and to avoid risks by driving.
Help CJ and his wife as much as you can. @elonmusk

Those were my neural signals counting down! @neuralink

Elon Musk: "There are really only three hard things for humanoid robots: the real-world intelligence, the hand, and scale manufacturing. And I haven't seen any even demo robots that have a great hand, But Optimus does have that. We had to design custom actuators, basically custom-designed motors, gears, power electronics, controls, sensors—everything had to be designed from physics first principles. There is no supply chain for this.”

The 23rd Neuralink patient (@LeBrainJames023) created this video game all just by using his Neuralink implant!
It's incredible what the humanbrainxAI can do.

@NeuraPod lebrainjames023.github.io/bci-starter-pa… Just so you have an idea of what I'm doing with my BCI in my free time. I should have documented more of me building it, but I didn't. That's my mistake.

Great to tour and visit with the minds and leaders behind @neuralink in Austin.
Neuralink’s next generation technology is transforming lives, and we’re proud to have them in Texas.

Using the @DroidArc to create parts that I designed with the @neuralink is still one of my favorite things to do!

Neuralink just released a new video on their R1 surgical robot:
• Inserts 128 ultra-thin, flexible threads (each thinner than a human hair, ~1/10th the width) containing a total of 1,024 electrodes directly into living brain tissue
• Thread insertion now takes just 1.5 seconds per thread (major improvement from ~17 seconds previously)
• Real-time high-resolution vision system maps and actively avoids every surface blood vessel to eliminate bleeding risk during insertion
• Enables deeper thread placement (>50 mm), accessing many brain regions
• Redesigned needle cartridge is 95% cheaper to manufacture for high-volume production
• Engineered for compatibility with 99% of the global population
• Full procedure designed for precision, repeatability, and one-day “one-click” automation potential

We’ve built a surgical robot to automate key steps in the process of receiving a Neuralink implant to promote safety, reliability, and scalability. Learn more about the role of the robot and its future potential from the engineers helping develop it.

I'm very excited to be a part of such a revolutionary device and on the leading edge of technology aimed towards helping people with disabilities not only spinal cord injuries but ALS and blindness. It's truly incredible what is possible when you have a motivated team @neuralink They did a great job of choosing @BarrowNeuro for the main site of the prime study. They're top class and t's worth the 17 hour drive one way from Phoenix from Kansas. I made the comment in my interview from @NewsNation that I wanted to build a part for @SpaceX . I know it's a long shot but I would be happy to be included in at least one design just to say Neuralink helped build the rocket. Let me know, @elonmusk .

It’s not every day you encounter someone who is making history for the human race. But for clinicians, scientists, and students who attend the 2026 Barrow #Neuroscience Symposium, Friday, May 15 will be one of those days. Alex Conley has a cervical spinal cord injury and is the second person ever to receive @Neuralink’s investigational brain-computer interface (#BCI) device. His surgery happened right here at #BarrowNeurologicalInstitute in #Phoenix, #Arizona, the leading site of the PRIME Study. What’s more, Alex is the very first person to use this device to control an assistive robotic arm, as a participant of the CONVOY Study. What we once considered science fiction is now becoming reality, and Alex is a pioneer in this exciting new era. Join us to hear a live, candid conversation between Alex and Barrow President and CEO @mtlawton, MD. This is your exclusive opportunity to see history unfold. Register for the 49th Annual Barrow Neuroscience Symposium at bar.rw/neurosymposium….
