Important Takeaways:
- A year ago, Tesla held the No. 1 ranking in China’s new-energy vehicle retail segment. In the first quarter of this year, the company had fallen to third place…. It is not clear that Tesla can compete in China, where the regime does just about everything it can to favor Chinese competitors.
- Musk has made Tesla reliant on China, and China’s rulers know that.
- “What is there to stop them [Chinese officials] from going to Musk directly and saying, ‘We’ll call your line of credit early, unless you give us X, Y, or Z?'” — Congressional Republican aide, Washington Examiner, August 26, 2020.
- “Musk should expect China to make demands for technology and data transfers to include Starlink and SpaceX heavy-lift rockets.” — Blaine Holt, retired U.S. Air Force Brigadier general and technology entrepreneur, to Gatestone Institute, May 3, 2024.
- “Will Congress now look the other way while the often-used CCP playbook of corporate blackmail plays out, compromising our security?” — Blaine Holt to Gatestone Institute, May 3, 2024.
- “You have me, and I have you.” — Chinese Premier Li Qiang to Elon Musk, CNN, April 28, 2024.
- The words, ostensibly meant to show U.S.-China friendship, are in reality a warning. It is now clear that one person so beholden to China should not be so central to America’s effort to stay in space.

Important Takeaways:
- Elon Musk has often warned of the End Times approaching, and now the X boss declared “our whole civilization is at stake” thanks to modern tech with entrepreneurs like him the “only solution”
- The post he shared from user @pmarca read: “There is no differentiation opportunity among Big Tech or the New Incumbents in AI. These companies all share the same ideology, agenda, staffing, and plan. Different companies, same outcomes.
- “And they are lobbying as a group with great intensity to establish a government protected cartel, to lock in their shared agenda and corrupt products for decades to come. The only viable alternatives are Elon, startups, and open source.”
- The post was widely shared, with one user commenting: “The stakes are high, we need to fight,” to which Musk responded: “Indeed, our whole civilization is at stake.”
- Musk has previously said population collapse could put an end to humanity, the Daily Star previously reported. Last year he wrote: “Most people think we have too many people on the planet, but actually, this is an outdated view.
- “Assuming there is a benevolent future with AI, I think the biggest problem the world will face in 20 years is population collapse.”

Important Takeaways:
- The first human patient implanted with a brain-chip from Neuralink appears to have fully recovered and is able to control a computer mouse using their thoughts, the startup’s founder, Elon Musk, said late on Monday.
- “Progress is good, and the patient seems to have made a full recovery, with no ill effects that we are aware of. Patient is able to move a mouse around the screen by just thinking,” Musk said in a Spaces event on the social media platform X.
- The firm successfully implanted a chip on its first human patient last month, after receiving approval for human trial recruitment in September.
- The study uses a robot to surgically place a brain-computer interface implant in a region of the brain that controls the intention to move, Neuralink has said, adding that the initial goal was to enable people to control a computer cursor or keyboard using their thoughts.
- Musk has grand ambitions for Neuralink, saying it would facilitate speedy surgical insertions of its chip devices to treat conditions like obesity, autism, depression and schizophrenia.

Important Takeaways:
- Rage against the machine: Americans warn Elon Musk to ‘stop creating cyborgs’ after he revealed the first human has had Neuralink’s brain chip
- Elon Musk has left even his most ardent fans terrified after he revealed his tech start-up Neuralink has become the first to successfully implant a microchip into a human brain.
- The device – called ‘Telepathy’ will ‘enable control of your phone or computer, and through them almost any device, just by thinking’, he said.
- But many of his 170 million followers on X, formerly Twitter, accused him of ‘mind control’, creating ‘cyborgs’, and even ‘playing God’.
- Initial users will be those who have lost the use of their limbs. Imagine if Stephen Hawking could communicate faster than a speed typist or auctioneer. That is the goal.’
- The company aims to implant microchips into the brains of paralyzed people, and allow them to move their bodies using their thoughts.
- It comes less than a year after Neuralink got Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance to operate on humans, a critical milestone for the startup.
- Musk wrote on X on Monday night: ‘The first human received an implant from @Neuralink yesterday and is recovering well. Initial results show promising neuron spike detection.’

Important Takeaways:
- Elon Musk’s Neuralink Raises $280 Million to Develop Brain Implants
- Neuralink Corp., Elon Musk’s brain-implant company, has raised $280 million in new funding from investors to develop its technology.
- The startup announced the funding round in a post on Musk’s X social network, formerly known as Twitter. The deal was led by Founders Fund, a venture capital firm backed by billionaire Peter Thiel.
- Neuralink is the best-known player in a growing field of brain technology companies. Partly spurred by Neuralink’s high profile, investors have backed dozens of other startups exploring similar technology.
- One rival, Synchron Inc., enrolled its first patient in a US clinical trial last year, beating Neuralink to that milestone.
- Neuralink recently received approval from the US Food and Drug Administration to conduct human clinical trials. The company is developing a small device that uses electrode-laced wires to link the brain to a computer. Placing the device requires drilling into the skull
