Elon Musk's brain implant company Neuralink has approached one of the biggest U.S. neurosurgery centers as a potential clinical trials partner as it prepares to test its devices on humans once regulators allow for it, according to six people familiar with the matter.

it is investigating the potential mishandling of hazardous pathogens during the company's partnership on animal trials with University of California, Davis between 2018 and 2020.

Barrow has helped standardize brain implant surgeries in which the patient can remain asleep, a key step in making it more acceptable to a broad set of the population, Ponce said.and majority owner of Twitter has said Neuralink's brain implants will become as ubiquitous as Lasik eye surgery. The devices Barrow has been implanting so far are different than Neuralink's. Barrow works with deep brain stimulation devices, which received FDA approval in 1997 to help reduce Parkinson's tremors and have been implanted in more than 175,000 patients.

Neuralink's implant is a brain computer interface device, which uses electrodes that penetrate the brain or sit on its surface to provide direct communication to computers. So far, no company has received U.S. approval to bring a BCI implant to the market.

How about all those who didn’t get COVID vaccine.

I recommend all the people who will pay for a blue check mark after April 15th.

Any requirement for an existing brain cell would exclude the MAGA cult. They are the pond life humans who are incapable of any rational behaviour. Maybe Musk could launch a company to provide full brain transplants, the deep sea bathypelagic bony-eared assfish could donate.

* head bursts into flames *

Um. How can they legally do this Mengele shit without regulatory approval?

Wow! Friendship of convenience.

I'm single, have no family, and am looking for a cure for my lifelong solipsism. I'd actually be a candidate for this.

All the people who believe Bill Gates was secretly putting trackers into vaccines are going to flock to do this aren’t they?

He should go first

If he’s in a quandary about brain implants, why doesn’t he get one himself?

Can I sign up Trump

More like a lobotomy without any of the benefits

Send all applications to the Boring Company boringcompany

Musk should be first.

Space Karen can be his own guinea pig.

Elon first

I’ll sign up long as you can guarantee to raise my IQ above 300 🫡

I’ll sign up long as you can guarantee to raise my IQ above 300 🫡

.elonmusk you can start with RepMTG

I'm sure there's no shortage of paid blue checkmarks that'll jump right on that.

why can't elon test on himself?

LOL. He can start with all of the slobbering, boot licking tech bros who do his bidding online.

Neuralink has 0% efficacy in its animal studies for the intended use, and at least 30% mortality rate in its animal population. They're going to search for a CRO who's willing to work with them on a human trial for a long time. And then you have IRB approval concerns too

Calling all MAGAs … here’s your chance to own the libs

Based on my “for you” page I don’t think I’d let this dude anywhere near my brain

Anti-vaxxers, step up to the plate

He could give out a super special brain damage check mark to anyone who volunteers

They've already been doing secret human trials on Trumps mob. Pleeeeeeze.

ItWasACoup Musk should definitely be the first to undergo the implant.

I’m convinced that Elon had a vet at the monkey lab secretly implant the Neuralink in his brain last year, and we are seeing the results.

Why doesn't he volunteer? Or is he too scared to?

Will he have as many recalls as he does on Teslas? Just no

How is this even legal?

MAGAts love Elon.

Why? Aren't his followers tripping over each other to sign up?

Here I am

Here you go Elon-bro’s, prove yourself to your messiah.

El Salvadorian prisons

I am extremely confident he can pool his subscribers and find a plethora of them.

Raising my hands 🙌 But more intelligent people out there 👀

How do u register

Same energy

Catturd volunteers. He needs a brain implant anyways since there is plenty of empty space.

Try MAGA.

You first.

I thought that the FDADeviceInfo had forced them to roll back and stop their animal testing?

From the man who brought you spontaneously combustible cars.

And of course he will volunteer himself right?

Fine...i'll do it...for human kind

Wasn't he denied the ability to test this stuff?

Pictured: the perfect human trials partner

Is this the same tech that made lab monkeys eat their own paws off? Nothing bad will come from this surely /s

No thanks elonmusk

How about his gullible fanboys or the MAGA crowd

I thought he was leaving this planet He sucks

No shortage of blue check simps here willing to die for Musk.

Biden could use a new brain 🧠 🧠 🧠 🧠 🧠

Lots of volunteers at trump rallies !!

so, this is how the borg begins. Kinda lame it's emo musk

Start with Elon

I know plenty of people here on Twitter, who would gladly volunteer

Oh mates... he can't even run a social media company without screwing it up - to the tune of a 20 billion loss - so there is no way in hell I'd let any company he was a part of stick things in my brain. I wouldn't even get in one of his tesla death trap cars... far to dangerous.

perhaps he could chose from people who pay him to post on a website who think he's a deity !!!

Ooh, ooh, sign me up to have my brain frazzled so I can die a painful death!

I nominate Joe Rogan

Elmo will be the first volunteer, yes?

Start with the guys paying him $8/month for a blue check mark

Fuck that, I’ve seen “Upgrade.” elonmusk

Musk was the first patient. Obviously it didn’t work!elonmusk

Government based or nah nah nah? NIH conducts clinical research trials for many diseases & conditions, including cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, allergy & infectious diseases, & neurological disorders. To search for other diseases & conditions, you can visit

Use the initiator 😂

Is Twitter Blue a test for potential candidates?

Elon Musk should volunteer for this procedure

I used to see news articles like this in video games…

Do it on Musk, he’s right there!

I can't wait for the first 'brain bricking' ... let's hope they don't spontaneously catch fire, too.

what if we have the woke mind virus

elonmusk shuld be no 1 trial person...

Invasive technology will never be accepted, pro-tech liberals will hate it out of spite for Elon. Neuralink is a 2030s company not a 2020s company.

He can use realDonaldTrump 's brain to start with. 😂😂😂 elonmusk

Prepping for the Antichrist

Yeah, the dude who broke Twitter and has thousands of satellites in space wants to put an implant in your brain. No thanks.

he can go first

Line of republican voters will stretch down the block and around the corner.

elonmusk can nuerolink be hacked

That's gonna be a hard pass.

Start with musk.

This is legal in the US? Or is it that is hasn't actually been reviewed by an ethics committee yet?

no problem

Perhaps he's available?

Just drink something?

How about members of the Biden Administration?

How about on himself? elonmusk ready to go under the knife?

don't twitter my brain

I'd suggest ... Elon Musk!!

Good

He could start with his blue check reply guys. They’ll buy anything he’s selling.

Use his MAGA people. Am sure they would be happy to do so

Human trials

One test subject right here..

Plenty of folks that carry water for the welfare monarch will gladly sign up if he spat on them first… just post an ad on Twitter 🤷🏼‍♂️

I’m sure a lot of Elon’s MAGA fanboys will step forward 😂

This man has not told the truth about one thing, He does not want to make robots, he wants idiots to implant one of these things and then he will just take over their mind. elonmusk

Can we nominate Musk to be the first trial recipient?

Use world leader's

Go for it elonmusk you can’t do worse.

Do I get a brain implant with Twitter firmware and Musk on speed dial?

Republicans will benefit from this endeavor exponentially!

Mr. Beast = subject numero uno !!! Three cheers!!! Hip hip

What could go wrong?

A brain is not real,only memory tubes,what you see fool is a swollen memory tube because of death or the head being opened, and god lied to man at the tower of babel, what else did the fool lie about?-BRANDON WOMACK TRUST ANYONE WHO CONFUSED LANGUAGE?

HA!

I suggest that the whole WEF staff from Davos be first... a little intelligence certainly won't hurt them and in case of failure there is no harm anyway..

This is why guys like him don't want to end poverty... they benefit too much from human desperation.

Corporate mind control experimentation. WCGW eh Elon? JFC

I'm sure he can just tweet a link and 100,000 of his fans will sign up to get their brains cut open

He should ask snoop dog 😂..

I m ready...you should find in India

Let Mush do it

Lots of volunteers to have old brains placed in healthy young host bodies, not so many volunteers ready to take one for the team on the receiving end. 🤔

How much ?

he can go first

kj_paul

eloon put a neuralink on twit her lab mammals and they typed up the twit her files

Sign me up

LOL

Mark of the beast

Not it!

Oh so their testing deaths are too good for monkeys now

lmao

They're bored of torturing monkeys to death. They want to start on people so that they can feel something when they watch them die again

Imagine lightly bumping your head against a cabinet and exploding like a Tesla

Being a lab rat during prototype development…. Have your will prepared

Try Macron. Or any of the G7 leaders, but I suggest Macron. You can't override the constitution 11 times in 2 years and have the guts to let the word 'democracy' Come out of your mouth.

Not sure why theres hate here. I dont see an avalanche of companies looking to solve what Neuralink is working on. If all else has failed, nothing wrong with human trials if consent is true and given either.

Calling all TheDemocrats

Nigerian's should volunteer they are too many either way

Why doesn’t Elon just volunteer his own head

Lol

Take away the safety issues and dystopian dramatics...what happens when your implant becomes obsolete? Newer models will obviously have more functionality and processing power, so for early adopters, how often are they going to have to dig into your cranium?

This guy threw his own employees into pre-vaccine COVID, dispatched his Twitter employees with gusto, and burns every woman he gets close to. I’m not sensing that empathy is his strong suit. But sure, let him experiment on your brain. It’ll be fiiiiine.

Let Elon offer himself as the first recipient.

Can they use EM? He can use a functioning brain..

I am sure there are plenty of Elon fan boys willing to sign up for this....

I volunteer Trump for it. You’ll do out national a huge favor

let's volunteer elonmusk

😬😬😬

I feel like with the right cajoling a partnership could be established between Neralink and the MAGA movement, provided the right people get the right kickbacks.

Age of the Aquarius

The same people who wouldn’t get vaccinated are going to be first in line for this.

Yesss, save monkey lives. I’m sure all the Jordan Peterson disciples will volunteer.

elonmusk hope u know I will never get neuralink🥴

ElonMusk guarantees only 50% intelligence loss within six months (but it won’t bot-ter you)

I think some of the people freaking out about vaccine microchips will actually sign up for this

Like the human caterpillar for brains.

Might I suggest the prison industrial complex

He should provide the type of incentives woke liberals enjoy, like free college 😉 , and in exchange fit them with healthy conservative inclined brain cells.

Who would agree to an Elon brain implant? Guess they can start with the ones who willingly pay him over $100 a year for a blue tick. Good way to sort the sheep from the wolves.

Get twitter blue subscribers signed up, charge them for the privilege

He has a massive following on this app, just ask them to avail themselves.

Hard pass 😂
