Neuralink deep dive
Full HUGE* If True episode on Neuralink and the future of brain computer interfaces
I toured @neuralink and got a close up view of their new R1 surgical robot, to see the future they and @elonmusk are building and how it is already changing lives...
00:00 What if you put a chip in your brain?
01:02 What does a human brain feel like?
02:17 How does your brain work?
03:58 Can a brain computer interface read your thoughts?
05:19 How do you get a chip into your brain?
08:07 What’s inside Neuralink’s implant?
10:06 How do you build a brain implant?
11:07 How does robot do brain surgery?
12:20 What could you do with a brain chip?
15:05 How are brain computer interfaces already being used today?
16:07 How are brain chips huge if true?
I designed these three parts entirely with my Neuralink, then watched them come off the 3D printer.
Sunglasses rack, RC controller case, and a custom cubby for our tire machine.
The tech is cool. The feeling of taking an idea that only existed in my head and holding it a few hours later is something else entirely.
I’ve always loved making things. The method changed. The feeling didn’t.
What would you design first if you could go from thought to physical object this fast?

The Terafab project is going well
STRONG SIGNAL 🚨 Terafab is moving forward at lightning speed because the engineers themselves have the authority to make decisions 🔥
According to Korea’s The Elec, a Korean supplier executive said that even questions sent during the early morning hours in the US get answered within 30 minutes to an hour. In his view, working with Terafab is completely different from dealing with conventional semiconductor customers.
An executive at an overseas equipment maker went even further: “I’ve never seen this level of execution speed in the semiconductor industry.”
Building a fab involves countless questions like these, across every tool and material that goes into it. When each one gets a fast answer, the time saved keeps compounding, and that could add up to a serious head start before a single wafer is even processed.
The chip industry spent decades perfecting how a fab should run. Terafab is being built by engineers who answer a supplier’s question before the US is even awake and are trusted to decide on the spot, and that may turn out to be the most disruptive process change of all.

Our second product is called Blindsight and it will, as the name suggests, enable even those who are completely blind or have never seen to see.
It is ready from an engineering standpoint. Just waiting on regulatory approval.

Neuralink is helping a man with ALS speak over the phone, type on an iPhone and use Grok, with his thoughts.
Engineers spent 72 hours at his home, building and testing new features alongside him.
Here’s what they worked on:
• Automatically detecting when he tries to speak, reducing the need to press buttons.
• Turning intended speech into text inside iPhone apps.
• Sending speech generated from his brain signals directly into phone calls.
• Starting speech through the app without unlocking his phone.
• Prototyping a Grok AI agent that performs computer tasks after he thinks “Hey Neuralink” and gives an instruction.
One moment meant especially much: he and his wife joking together over the phone again. Their relationship had started with phone calls.
Incredible work by Neuralink, helping people regain a voice, greater independence and everyday moments with the people they love. ♥️

Rest in peace, Nick Wray.
Nick was Neuralink participant P8, the 8th person in the world to receive the implant.
He lived with ALS for four and a half years and passed away on August 2, 2026, at 44.
With his implant, he used his phone, his laptop, and played video games just using his mind.
His family wrote that he considered Neuralink and his contribution to the knowledge of the human brain to be his purpose.
He was also a drummer, a barista and manager at Grounds for Thought, fluent in French, and a lover of Aruba and good coffee.
Thank you, Nick. What you gave will help every patient who comes after you.
Prayers and love to Alexia, his parents, his siblings, and all who miss him.

BREAKING: Elon Musk just shared this incredible footage of how SpaceX plans to catch the Starship.

Maybe we should start a competitor to Amazon 🤔
amazon is blocking grok @bots from ordering, and elon's answer is just have your bot buy it somewhere else.
one of my grok bots only handles my amazon returns, so i'm watching this one closely.
would you switch stores for your bot? 🛒
Elon, i think its time for an X Shop? 👀

Through the VOICE trial, Terry is using his Neuralink implant to help fine-tune a brain-to-voice interface for himself and others who can’t speak. He trained the algorithm first by miming speech as best he could, then by simply thinking the words and hearing them come out in his own natural voice.

Insane new accomplishment! At @TerraFirma_Inc you can operate Heavy Machinery w/ a Controller! So easy Even a Quadriplegic can do it! Only question is … @GWR @Ripleys what should I do with this new Ability?
Think You have what it takes to operate? Email Terrafirma/ [email protected]

Neuralink is giving people their independence back.
@LeBrainJames023, Neuralink’s 23rd patient who lives with paralysis, is controlling a robotic arm and moving a computer cursor using only his thoughts.
He says Neuralink helps him feel like he has a purpose again. ❤️
