To address that problem, he founded Neuralink, a company he's also invested $100 million in. Neuralink is a brain computer interface that's implanted into the brain. One day, Musk hopes that it could enable incredible new capabilities like telepathy, and the ability to search the Internet with the power of your mind. Last week, Musk took the stage to give us an update on Neuralink's progress towards that Sci-Fi vision.
