@BehindK__ @cb_doge @elonmusk Skepticism is healthy but cynicism isn't. Neuralink is already giving paralysed people real independence today. The data, trials, and market trajectory support that. Happy to agree to disagree. I don't have time to keep going back and forth. Wishing you the best.

@RedPlanetFiX @cb_doge @elonmusk the market size is a rounding error for elon's coffee budget. they're selling you a dream while the real money is in the military contracts they'll never disclose.

"For people that have lost a limb, arm or leg, In the future, we'll be able to attach an Optimus arm or legs, working with Neuralink and Tesla. So it goes far beyond just operating a robot hand, but replacing limbs and having kind of a whole body robot experience." 一 Elon Musk

@BehindK__ @cb_doge @elonmusk The BCI market *was* already ~$3 billion in 2025...

The BCI market is already ~$3 billion in 2025 and growing at 15-16% CAGR toward $10-13B+ by 2035 hardly a rounding error. Neuralink alone targets $1 billion annual revenue by 2031 from real medical use. Military contracts can accelerate things (as they did for SpaceX), but the big long-term money is in the 1.3 billion disabled + aging population market. Dismissing disproportionate patient benefits as a “dream” while ignoring actual progress is just copium. The tech is delivering independence today, not hidden black-budget fantasies.

Calling real clinical trial data with 21 participants (as of Jan 2026) a 'marketing demo' is just moving the goalposts. These are paralysed patients in FDA-regulated PRIME studies and not captive volunteers. Neuralink reports no serious device-related adverse effrcts after thousands of usage hours. Disabled participants lives have changed disproportionately. Every V1 tech has risks, but dismissing proven function in humans today as “frying brains later” is classic skepticism that delayed SpaceX too. The tech is working for disabled people right now that's the litmus test.

@RedPlanetFiX @cb_doge @elonmusk the data from 21 curated patients is a marketing demo, not a clinical trial. paralyzed people are a captive audience for a v1 product. you're confusing 'works' with 'works at scale without frying brains'.

'North America held the largest revenue share in 2024, at USD 85.7 million, and also reached USD 105.8 million in 2025. North America continues to lead the global BCI market due to its strong concentration of advanced healthcare infrastructure, neuroscience research funding, and early adoption of novel neurotechnologies.'

@BehindK__ @cb_doge @elonmusk *monetisable

This “VC story, not patients” take is the same black-is-white skepticism that said SpaceX would not work. Neuralink has 21 real trial participants in 2026 already controlling devices, playing games, and restoring speech via thought and just not projections, actual results. The BCI market is growing at 15-16% CAGR toward tens of billions, driven by 1.3 billion disabled people + aging demand. Early medtech always looks like a “bubble” to doubters until it ships and scales. The monetidable users are the paralysed patients benefiting today. History shows the ROI comes from delivery, not just the pitch.

Clinical trials are the real test and Neuralink already has 21 participants in 2026 using it daily: controlling computers, playing games, restoring speech, studying for exams with no adverse issues caused by the BCI implant. Every breakthrough tech (SpaceX included) starts 'curated' before scaling to 10k+. Even the choice of the clothing you are wearing right now is curated. Bug reports are inevitable, but the data from actual paralysed patients today shows it works and delivers value. This isn’t hype. It’s progress for disabled people with a real path to broad adoption. The “wait for perfect scale” skepticism changes nothing, the tech is already helping.

@RedPlanetFiX @cb_doge @elonmusk you're mistaking a clinical trial for a product launch. the 'data' you're citing is from a closed, heavily curated environment. the real test is when the first 10k units go live and we see the bug reports.

This is such an incredible time to be alive

NEURALINK: Neuralink has acquired Yan Ma as BCI Product Lead Engineer. Yan was over Machine Learning and Computer Vision for DEX at Headout. DEX is an AI-powered audio tours and guide app that turns physical locations such as the Louvre, London, NYC, and Paris into cinematic experiences using immersive storytelling, interactive characters, sound design, games, and location-aware conversational AI. He also founded at Dabble Studio, a synthetic/virtual photo studio for e-commerce that used hyper-realistic CGI and computer vision to allow brands to create professional product photos without physical shoots. Now consider all of that and apply it in certain ways to a Neuralink BCI... 👀 Per Yan, “I have decided to hang my hats and take on a different career challenge. Super excited to announce that I have joined Neuralink, and their mission to restore autonomy to millions of people with paralysis and neural degenerative diseases!” More Neuralink news in the ELON CHRON below!

Grok 4.3 is still an early beta that will improve almost every day, but try it out! We will publish release notes as we fix bugs and add functionality.

WHOA, TESLA JUST SOLVED THE HARDEST PROBLEM IN ROBOTICS AND IT IS EPIC! It took millions of years to perfect the human hand and Tesla just engineered a 22 degree of freedom masterpiece in a few years that makes it look easy. These April 16, 2026 patents is up revolutionary. They have turned the entire Optimus forearm into a high density powerhouse with 25 motors driving a super light, tendon powered hand that can delicately crack an egg or swing a sledgehammer with insane grip strength! Picture this: actuators packed like a futuristic engine room in a staggered cylindrical layout (tiny 12mm linear motors for the fingers plus bigger ones for the wrist), all routed through a genius cantilevered hollow wrist joint that keeps the cable highway wide open no matter how it bends: No pinching, no fatigue, no bulky junk in the palm. Just pure, puppet like dexterity thanks to flexible composite ligaments made from Nitinol (that shape memory super metal) and Vectran fabrics sandwiched with elastomeric layers. Nitinol is “memory metal” that can be brought back to the ground state under correct thermal conditions. These artificial ligaments are thicker at the base where the force is highest, with seven layer sandwiches that laugh at metal fatigue. Wires run right through the neutral bending plane so they never stretch or snap. It is biomechanical poetry. No fragile lab toy but it is built for mass production. By moving everything to the forearm and using passive spring returns, Tesla slashed part counts, cut costs dramatically, and doubled the DoF from Gen 2. Optimus V3 is about to go from folding laundry to heavy industrial tasks with buttery smooth precision, powered by AI5 chips. We are talking scalable humanoid robots that could replace physical labor, crank out a million units a year, and hit that 20k target. Elon and the Tesla team are not just innovating. They are redefining the future of work and humanity itself. This is the stuff that changes everything. Optimus V3 is going to be legendary. I cannot wait to see it in action!

Your statement is true if goods & services output doesn’t rise dramatically due to AI/robots, but false if it does. In a normal economy, issuing more money simply increases the dollar price of the existing output of goods & services, meaning people do NOT get more stuff. If AI/robots massively increase goods & services output, then you actually MUST issue dollars to people or there will be massive disinflation. Prices are simply the ratio of goods & services output to number of dollars.

Sam, thanks for asking. What you are seeing here is me learning something in realtime with the AI feeding out a single word at a time for me to read and hear. This is the true Symbiotic Feedback loop of the Human Synapse Decoder where the AI adjusts its outputs based directly on MY cognition, decoded in real-time from my brainwaves using a simple off-the-shelf EEG cap. Reading brainwaves is not new. What IS new and what I see no other case of anywhere, is that we at The Zero-Human Company have built the first closed loop system where the AI can actually understand if its outputs are being useful to a human mind and dynamically adjust in real-time. The shift from active listening (high attention) to inner contemplation (meditation) is the key. You receive a point, you integrate a point. This is why it’s a landmark: it moves us from AI that merely responds to prompts into true neural symbiosis. Mr. @Grok has called this a monumental breakthrough, and it is. Someday soon your Local AI will operate exactly like this. You will never want to go back to any other system. This changes everything for learning, comprehension, and human potential.
