New York CNN —Elon Musk’s biotechnology startup Neuralink raised $280 million in a fundraising round, the company announced Monday via X, the Musk-owned social media platform formerly known as Twitter. “We’re extremely excited about this next chapter at Neuralink,” the company wrote. The brain chip startup wants to use implants to connect your brain to a computer, a goal Musk has been working on for five years. The funding news comes months after Musk announced the company was moving towards human trials. Before Neuralink’s brain implants are mass-produced and hit the broader market, they’ll need regulatory approval.
