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 continues its push in the brain-computer interface space with a third implant, while competitors and researchers accelerate advancements globally.

Neuralink Corp., founded by Elon Musk, continues to push the boundaries of brain-computer interface technology. The company recently announced that its brain implant device has been successfully implanted in three human patients, with plans for an ambitious rollout of 20 to 30 more implants by 2025.
