Elon Musk said a third person has received an implant from his brain-computer interface company Neuralink, one of many groups working to connect the nervous system to machines. “We’ve got ... three humans with Neuralinks and all are working well,” he said during a wide-ranging interview at a Las Vegas event streamed on his social media platform X.

Neuralink’s three implants are part of its ongoing Prime study, which is evaluating the safety of Neuralink’s brain device in individuals with quadriplegia. In September 2024, the company announced the approval of a second study known as Convoy, which will explore extending its brain device capabilities to control an assistive robotic arm.

Elon Musk 's neurotechnology company Neuralink has successfully implanted its brain-computer interface (BCI) device in a third human patient. Musk announced the milestone during an event in Las Vegas. "We've got now three humans with Neuralinks implanted and they're all working well," he said.

Elon Musk's Neuralink brain implant has been approved by Health Canada for clinical trials in Canada. Dr. Andres Lozano, a neurosurgeon at Toronto Western Hospital, discusses the upcoming clinical trials and how the technology could help people with disabilities due to spinal cord injuries or ALS.

Elon Musk announced that Neuralink has implanted its third patient, marking a milestone. The company is upgrading its brain-computer interface and plans to expand trials with 20-30 more implants this year,
