Elon Musk is not only the person behind Tesla or SpaceX, but also owns a startup that is attracting strong attention in the US – Neuralink. This is a brain-computer interface (BCI) technology company, with the ambition to directly connect the human brain with computers. Many experts say that if successful, Neuralink can profoundly change society and even be more powerful than Tesla.

| Elon Musk's, Tesla |
Tesla has popularized electric cars globally, but Neuralink is entering a field that can directly impact human nature. Instead of just changing the way we move, Neuralink aims to change the way we perceive, communicate and interact with the digital world.
Neuralink's notable advances
A "Breakthrough Device" designation from the FDA for the Blindsight project, which aims to help blind people see again.
Raised $650 million in a mid-2025 funding round, with the participation of "big guys" such as ARK Invest, Sequoia Capital.
Successfully implanted the device into the first patient, and the report showed that "the patient is recovering well" - a historic milestone in the biomedical field.
Clinical trials on many patients: about five people have been implanted with the device and are able to control computers with their thoughts.
Valuation of $8.5 billion (early 2025), reflecting huge expectations from the market and investors.
