Neuralink has solved through-dura electrode implantation!
This is a very big deal, as it greatly improves the safety and ease of interfacing with the brain.
The dura is the brain's armor: a membrane so tough that a surgeon normally cuts through it with a scalpel. For the first time in our clinical trials, we inserted the electrode threads of our implant straight through the dura and into the cortex, keeping the dura intact.
Here's how we did it 🧵
This required:
- advanced optics solutions to be able to see vessels through an opaque layer of tissue
- precision manufacturing to machine micrometer scale features in our needles to make them reliably pierce through the tough dural membrane
- and rigorous testing to prove it would all work before we ever tried it in a human for the first time
Very proud of our whole team for executing on such a difficult and important problem- but there are many more challenges left to solve, and we're hiring brilliant engineers across the stack to help!
no biomed background needed!
🚨 BREAKING: A @FreeBeacon investigation reveals Rep. Ro Khanna—who rails against the ultra-rich who "hoard wealth"—lives in a $6M D.C. mansion with a four-story elevator while his family's $340M+ fortune sits in the exact trusts, hedge funds, and LLCs he condemns.
Those trusts made 4,100+ stock trades worth ~$53M in 2025—even as Khanna leads the push to BAN members of Congress from trading stocks—while he claims "zero knowledge" of the trades.
His kids (under 10) hold stakes in three private golf clubs, a $65B wealth firm, and a distressed-debt hedge fund—the same vehicles he attacks—while his wife drives a $190K Range Rover.
Bottom line: Khanna's fortune is built and shielded exactly the way he says the rich shouldn't do it.

@peterrhague Among other things, @Neuralink will enable quadriplegics to use their hands and walk again and the completely blind to see.
Jesus-level miracles.
The UK Treasury quietly scrapped its numeracy test because basic math was a "hurdle" for minority candidates.
Let that sink in.
The people in charge of the nation’s money, debt, taxes, and economic policy decided that competence in numbers was problematic.
This isn’t diversity.
This is institutional self-sabotage.
Earlier this month, the City of Starbase was excited to support residents, local fishermen, @SpaceX volunteers, and @SeaTurtleInc in rescuing 266-lb loggerhead Arlen from Boca Chica Beach jetties. She’s since laid 60+ eggs, been tagged, and released into the Gulf.
My grandfather, communism, and the tremor that never left. A story I rarely share.
He was the principal of a private school; respected, steady, a man who believed in books and order. Then, one ordinary afternoon, his world ended.
A squad of communist troops stormed on to campus grounds. They herded the children out like cattle, set every book ablaze in the courtyard. “Less educated people are easier to control,” they believed.
They dragged my grandfather and his staff to the side of a dusty road, forced them to their knees, hands bound tight behind their backs. One by one, the executions began. The crack of pistols split the air. Each body fell with a heavy thud into the dirt. Each crack of the pistol meant it was getting closer to his demise.
My grandfather stared straight ahead as the man beside him collapsed. He felt the warm steel of the pistol press against the back of his skull. Time slowed. This was it, the final second of his life.
Then, fate intervened. He lifted his eyes and saw a column of troops marching down the road. At its head walked a general. A childhood friend.
With a scream of desperation, he called out his name. The general was startled but recognized my grandfather and immediately spared his life.
Tears streamed down his face. His entire body shook violently as he sprinted home. He grabbed his wife and children with nothing but the clothes on their backs and fled that very hour, leaving behind their home, their belongings, their entire life.
Everything was taken away by the regime in a single afternoon.
From that day forward, an uncontrollable tremor gripped his right hand. It was particularly noticeable whenever his emotions got the better of him.
The shaking never stopped. It followed him across oceans and time until the day he passed.
That is communism.
It is not theory, not idealism, but the pistol at the back of the head, the burning books, the shattered lives. Do not let anyone sell you a nightmare dressed up as a wonderful dream.
The people now sowing socialist and communist poison in America are exactly what President Trump warned: the greatest threat to our free world.
On this 250th birthday of the United States, let one survivor’s grandson say it plainly and without apology:
COMMUNISM MUST NEVER BE ALLOWED TO SPREAD IN THESE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. 🇺🇸
MAY GOD BLESS AMERICA.
NEW: @FreeBeacon has the receipts on Ro Khanna’s obscene, oligarchic wealth:
—his 2 kids (under 10yrs old) own 3 private golf courses in Ohio (not kidding)
—his wife drives a $190,000 luxury Range Rover
—his house has a 4-story indoor elevator

SpaceXAI is not just building AI in Memphis.
It is investing in jobs, schools, infrastructure, cleanups, local businesses, families and the surrounding community.

“@Tesla stack is the most advanced autonomous vehicle stack in the world. I’m fairly certain they were already using end-to-end AI. Whether their AI did reasoning or not in somewhat secondary to that first part.”
The media bias against Elon is absolutely insane
They don’t report on him
They hunt for ways to make him look evil
Is it a lie? Doesn’t matter
Is there proof? Still doesn’t matter
They will lie, twist, exaggerate, or straight-up fabricate stories just to paint him as the villain… and they go to levels you can’t even imagine
When asked to actually show proof or give contact of the real help people were receiving from USAID, they provided none. Literally none
Yet somehow, the second DOGE started cutting waste, “millions of deaths” magically appeared in the numbers
Let’s look at the actual reality:
• A USAID contracting officer and corporate executives pleaded guilty to a decade-long bribery scheme involving over $550 million in contracts
• They were running aid programs with Hamas staff inside the organizations
• They were literally funding Al-Qaeda terrorists
• Let me say it again: They were funding terrorists
But the corrupt media doesn’t care
All they care about is manufacturing fake “Holocaust-level” death numbers just to paint Elon as evil
Pure propaganda
@Scobleizer There are always momentary dips, even in a rapidly growing economy.
The productivity gains from AI and robotics are so enormous, however, that the macro trend is overwhelmingly up.
SpaceXAI has announced that they will be applying a 50% discount on the standard @Starlink monthly price for both new and existing customers in the Memphis area as a way to give back to the community where they operate their Colossus data centers.
• No upfront hardware costs on Residential Starlink kits for new customers
• The discount applies to Starlink service addresses located in eligible parts of the Memphis area (see below).
• No action is required. The discount will appear on your next bill and will continue as long as your service address remains in the eligible area.
• Friends and family nearby can also benefit from the discount. You both earn a month of free service through Starlink's referral program.
