According to Musk last month, Mr. Arbaugh, who got an implant from the business in January, was able to operate a computer mouse with just his thoughts.
Musk had stated that the ultimate goal of the brain chip is to enable those with disabilities, such as the late Stephen Hawking, to “communicate faster than an auctioneer.”.
Additionally, he has asserted that it might be able to cure schizophrenia, depression, autism, and obesity.
Speaking of the implant operation, Mr. Arbaugh remarked, “The surgery was super easy,” in the image that was live on Musk’s social media platform .
“I was discharged from the hospital the very next day. I’m not cognitively impaired.”
