The billionaire Elon Musk currently owns Tesla and Space x, Musk's latest proposal does not propose a trip to the ends of the universe, rather an internal trip to our own essence, Neuralink is a company founded in 2016 and looking in a few words have effective communication between brain and computer.

His other bets like Tesla where he developed an all-electric car and Space X where he developed low-cost American rocketry are child's play compared to Neuralink. At Tesla the challenge of building competitive cars against technologies that have been in development for more than 100 years was not an easy thing but Musk succeeded, in Space X the same thing happened, he had to redesign space travel but these have been done since the 60s so It is not a revolution for the world, however these are not minor achievements, the world has recognized Musk's success.

This time Elon Musk part of the challenge of making something from zero, something new, something revolutionary for humanity and offered a press conference explaining the advances of Neuralink, he looked nervous, but he told his advances, a device the size of a coin capable of being installed in the skull of a person by a robotic device that does the surgery.

This device has not remained in the theoretical plane and has been tested in pigs, being able to read electrical signals from the brain, now the big question, is it a great advance? From an engineering point of view, if is, the robot that makes the implant, the device and its integration into a living body, are advances but in the end it is a disappointment, sadly this is in a very early phase and presents a big problem, Neuralink is able to perceive the signals emitted by the brain but is unable to understand them.

The brain is still a real mystery, nobody knows what a thought is? or how is it produced? not to mention the big question that is consciousness? , many experts in the field come to the conclusion that it is a great engineering with a mediocre science, because the brain is unconventional science, Musk is generating false expectations and is ignoring the experts and previous works in this field. So this is bad for science?

I think Elon Musk does it with the best of intentions, Musk's goal is to attract young talent, his ability to move capital and human talent is something that science is going to appreciate, it seems to me that science wins with this, Musk goes to bring your entrepreneurial and successful mindset to research science and we all win.
