Elon Musk says Neuralink is building a surgical robot designed to reach any brain region with high precision. The automated system uses sensors and cameras to guide ultrathin electrode threads while accounting for brain movement from breathing and heartbeat. Neuralink’s goal is a “generalised neural interface” that could expand beyond movement conditions toward conditions like epilepsy, Parkinson’s, and sensory disorders—if safety and long-term durability hold up.
The Musk vs Altman legal fight over OpenAI has expanded beyond governance and profit motives, pulling Shivon Zilis into the spotlight. Court documents indicate Zilis, a Neuralink leader and mother of Elon Musk’s children, may have helped connect Musk with OpenAI leadership after his 2018 departure—placing her in a rare position of visibility across both camps.
