This is Neuralink’s latest important progress. youtube.com
Neuralink recently released the video “Our First Transdural Procedure,” announcing that they successfully performed, for the first time, a transdural implantation surgery in a clinical trial. The procedure took place in May 2026 at Toronto Western Hospital (University Health Network) in Toronto, Canada, and was completed by neurosurgeon Dr. Andres Lozano. yahoo.com
Key changes
• Traditional approach: After opening the skull, a scalpel is used to cut and partially remove the dura mater (the brain’s tough protective membrane, like a “brain armor”) so the cerebral cortex can be directly seen and electrode leads can be inserted.
• New approach: Keep the dura intact. Using the optimized surgical robot (R1) and a specialized insertion needle, ultrathin electrode leads (thinner than a human hair) are inserted through the dura directly into the cortex. youtube.com
Neuralink’s slogan is “The best step is no step” (the best step is one that doesn’t exist). Removing the traditional neurosurgery’s most delicate and highest-risk manual step—durectomy— is a major simplification. roadtovr.com
Technology support
• Improved robotic precision + OCT (optical coherence tomography) and ICG (indocyanine green) navigation.
• A redesigned insertion needle that can reliably penetrate dura that is more than 10 times thicker than the electrode leads.
• Patients can control the cursor using their thoughts shortly after surgery (feedback within an hour).
Significance
• Improved safety: Reduces risks such as infection, bleeding, and inflammation caused by opening the dura, while preserving the natural protective layer.
• Scalability: A simpler, more repeatable, and more automated procedure paves the way for future high-volume production and broader applications (including more indications).
• Faster recovery: Potentially less time to recover and less trauma.
This aligns with Elon Musk’s earlier stated 2026 goal: moving toward nearly fully automated surgery and implanting directly through the dura. roadtovr.com
Overall, this is an important step in brain-computer interface development—shifting from “highly invasive neurosurgery” to something more like routine precision surgery—and it’s well worth paying attention to. Neuralink’s video is worth watching; you can see the process clearly.🚀

From rockets to brain-machine interfaces, from AI to payments: a deep dive into Musk's trillion-dollar empire and what he might do next.

After SpaceX’s IPO, Musk's business empire has officially come to light. It's no longer just one company; it's an unprecedented tech ecosystem.

Empire Overview:

🚀 SpaceX: Market cap of $2.5 trillion, Starship V3 in testing, 12 million Starlink users, over 100 launches targeted per year.

🚗 Tesla: AI6 chip in design, Optimus robot beta testing in six months, flying car Skycab making its debut.

🧠 Neuralink: 26 participants in brain-machine interface trials, ramping up mass production, surgical robots sharing Tesla's vision architecture.

🤖 xAI: Grok large model, valued at $250 billion after merging with SpaceX, but the founding team has seen significant departures and is currently rebuilding.

📱 X: 46 state money transmission licenses, instant transfers in partnership with Visa, FDIC insured checking accounts.

Key Crossroads:

● Tesla's AI chip → providing computing power for xAI.

● SpaceX's rockets → deploying satellites for Starlink.

● Starlink's network → providing global connectivity for X.

● X's payment system → potential integration with DOGE.

● Neuralink's brain-machine interface → ultimate human-machine interaction.

What might be next?

1. Merger of SpaceX and Tesla—President Shotwell hasn’t ruled out this possibility.

2. X payment system officially supporting cryptocurrency—licenses are already in place.

3. Neuralink merging with xAI—brain-machine interface + AI assistant.

4. Launch of space internet financial services after Starlink achieves global coverage.

Every move Musk makes is setting the stage for the next big play. Once the barriers between these companies are broken down, the resulting synergies will be impossible for any competitor to replicate.

Which sector do you think has the most potential in Musk's empire? Let's chat in the comments below👇
