Elon Musk’s Brain Implantant Company Neuranink has received $ 600 million in an agreement that values the company to $ 9 billion before new cash, Semafor reported on Tuesday, quoting people with knowledge of the matter.
Neralink did not answer immediately at the request of Reuters to comment.
It is estimated that the launch in 2023 is awarded $ 5 billion on the basis of privately executed shares described by Reuters. The company previously received $ 280 million in the round of funding fund Funders Peter Thiel.
In April, Bloomberg News announced that the company is planning to receive about $ 500 million.
Neuralink is in the process of testing its implant to help people with spinal cord injury. The device allowed the first patient to play video games, browse the Internet, publish on social media and move the cursor on their laptop directly with the brain.
At the beginning of this month, Neuralk received a “breakthrough” brand of American food and drug for its equipment.
Musk expressed great ambitions for society and said its chip would allow healthy and disabled people to get into neighboring facilities for rapid surgical advertising of the facility to treat obesity, autism, depression and schizophrenia. They even see them used for web-surfing and telepathy.
