Elon Musk last night claimed he has put a Neuralink implant in a monkey’s brain and that the animal can play video games ‘with his mind’ in a wide-ranging online question and answer session.
The CEO said the monkey is ‘totally happy’ and the effort is part of his ‘brain tech’ start-up firm Neuralink which he hopes will eventually be able to help humans with brain and spinal injuries.
In a Q&A on Clubhouse, a private social app, Musk claimed the implant builds a digital link between the brain and a computer, describing it as ‘like a fitbit for the skull’.
The billionaire inventor also claimed humans will be visiting Mars in five-and-a-half years, but admitted it would be ‘very dangerous’ as there ‘are far more ways to die out there than there are in Earth’.
Musk added that Bitcoin is ‘on the verge’ of being more widely accepted among investors as he expressed his support for the cryptocurrency.
As he was peppered with questions by the audience of 5,000, Musk also said:
- He wants to put humans on Mars in five-and-a-half years, but admitted it would be ‘very dangerous and hard work’
- Bitcoin is ‘on the verge’ of being more widely accepted among investors as he expressed his support for the cryptocurrency
- He has seen no ‘conclusive evidence’ that aliens exist but it’s ‘quite possible’
- His boosting of online currency Dogecoin is intended as a joke
- His children ‘are mostly educated through YouTube and Reddit’
- He aims to produce 20million Teslas every year worldwide
- He things Chris Nolan’s Tenet is a good film but ‘if you think too hard about it, it’s not going to make complete sense, but it’s a good movie.’
- He also enjoys Netflix’s Karate Kid sequel franchise Cobra Kai
Musk, who has invested $100 million in Neuralink, claimed the start-up has a ‘monkey facility’ where one monkey has a ‘wireless implant’ in its skull.
He said: ‘We’ve already got a monkey with a wireless implant in their skull and the tiny wires who can play video games using his mind.
‘He’s totally happy. He does not look like an unhappy monkey,’ he added. ‘He’s not uncomfortable and he doesn’t look weird.
‘We’re trying to work out if we can get the monkeys to play mind pong with each other, you know that would be pretty cool.’
Musk also claimed that when a US Department of Agriculture official came to inspect their monkey facilities, she was mightily impressed.
‘When the USDA person came through and inspected our facilities, our monkey facilities, she said it was like the nicest monkey facilities she’s ever seen in her career,’ he said. ‘We went the extra mile for the monkeys.’
Musk has been no stranger to using animals in his scientific experiments. In August last year, he said Neuralink had implanted a computer-chip in the brain of a pig called Gertrude.
He said in the short-term, Neuralink would be able to address brain injuries and spinal injuries.
‘It would make up for whatever lost capacity somebody has with an implanted chip,’ he said. ‘So the first thing we are going after is a wireless implanted chip that would enable someone who [has a brain injury or spinal injury] to control a computer or mouse or phone or really any device just by thinking.
They aint going to mars just like they did not go to the moon its just a load of Hollywood Jew bullshit, but it will keep the television dead entertained.
No one is going to Mars. No one went to the moon. If they’ve done it to a monkey, you can bet they’ve done it to a pitiful human. These monstrous humans of Elon’s ilk have nothing better to do than to try to accomplish what hasn’t been done yet. They’ve done everything else and are bored with the ordinary. Unfortunately for us mere humans, we have to live with the fruits of their insanity. Trust in God.
Would rather a monkey had put a chip in Elon Musk’s brain and was playing video games with him.
As for Mars, he’s kidding right? Considering that the Mars mission was filmed in the Nevada desert, is he going to charge $millions to fly people there?
Ratchild: How’s that rocket of yours coming along, that was in the news some months ago?
Muskrat: Its all crap. I started it, but got bored. When the FED-CIAntifa gives me billions of dollars a year I have to do something with it. Now I’m putting implants in monkeys.
Ratchild: Great. Before we put these implants in the goyim, we’ll see how they work on monkeys first.
Muskrat: Yeah, something like that. Our goal is to cybernetically connect the cattle with our Starlink digital grid that envelopes the earth. That way, we will have total control over their minds/bodies.
Ratchild: We’ll tell them its for their own good & that man will be travelling to Mars in five years.
Muskrat: If you say so.
I am gifted with mind control, I apply it with my arms and fingers.
Even Musk adds the involuntary “like” to his conversation. When it started, and sometimes still now, it was accompanied by a goofy grin, because it is an unconscious subliminal instruction.
The problem Space exploration faces is that the men get to a certain height, look at each other and frown and say “Why don’t we just piss on them down there?”
@Lewis Jones; You mean that “I can’t believe you’re really falling for this” grin?
Re: brain interface – The US Military (DARPA) have been toying with this concept for years – especially for air-force pilots. Instant reaction time.
Miles Mathis does a great job of revealing who Elon Musk really is:

As usual, the usual suspects are at work…
Not exactly–it is a joke about repulsion and attraction.
