00:00:04,100 --> 00:00:07,700
Hi everybody and welcome back to
another episode of the Elon Musk

2
00:00:07,700 --> 00:00:11,300
podcast where we delve into the 
fascinating world of one of our 

3
00:00:11,300 --> 00:00:13,500
era's most influential 
innovators. 

4
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:16,800
In today's episode, we're 
examining a particularly 

5
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:20,100
intriguing development, the 
astonishing rise in knurlings 

6
00:00:20,100 --> 00:00:24,800
valuation, to an estimated five 
billion dollars, more than 

7
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,100
double its worth from just two 
years ago. 

8
00:00:27,500 --> 00:00:30,800
And despite being years away 
from commercial, Socialization 

9
00:00:30,900 --> 00:00:34,900
and its various regulatory 
challenges and ethical questions

10
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,800
neurolink stands out as an 
intriguing exception in a market

11
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:43,100
trend of pre-ipo companies. 
Now join us as we delve into the

12
00:00:43,100 --> 00:00:46,100
details of these secondary 
trades, the groundbreaking 

13
00:00:46,100 --> 00:00:49,800
aspirations behind neural, links
neural, interface technology, 

14
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:53,100
and the hurdles it faces in the 
course of its ambitious Journey,

15
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:56,600
while the company's Innovative 
Pursuit, neural interface 

16
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,800
technology seems to dwell in the
realm of Science Fiction. 

17
00:01:00,300 --> 00:01:03,800
The numbers tell a very 
different story in the recent 

18
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,200
months. 
Neuro links, estimated value, 

19
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,300
skyrocketed to, about five 
billion dollars. 

20
00:01:09,700 --> 00:01:12,600
That's an astonishing leap from 
its valuation of around 2, 

21
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:14,500
billion dollars just a few years
ago. 

22
00:01:15,100 --> 00:01:18,900
Secondary trades involving the 
privately held companies stock 

23
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,600
precipitated. 
This significant increase in 

24
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,900
wealth. 
Now driven by existing 

25
00:01:23,900 --> 00:01:28,300
shareholders such as early 
investors and employees of a 

26
00:01:28,300 --> 00:01:31,200
company. 
These has Leverage The Thin 

27
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,700
volume of these transactions to 
upturn the valuation metrics, 

28
00:01:34,900 --> 00:01:38,000
effectively painting a promising
picture of neural links 

29
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,200
financial future in this 
financial escalation is all the 

30
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,600
more surprising considering it 
took place before the US Food 

31
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:49,100
and Drug Administration. 
Gave the green light for a human

32
00:01:49,100 --> 00:01:52,300
trial involving knurlings 
technology though. 

33
00:01:52,300 --> 00:01:57,700
This approval granted on May 
25th. 2023 did appear to act as 

34
00:01:57,700 --> 00:02:01,200
a catalyst triggering a flurry 
of The trades and seemingly 

35
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:02,900
bolstering, the value of the 
company. 

36
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:07,400
However, the Risin nerd links 
valuation needs to be 

37
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,400
contextualized within the 
broader market. 

38
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:15,100
Trends now Kemp light data 
reported that 85% of pre-ipo 

39
00:02:15,100 --> 00:02:18,500
companies are witnessing a forty
seven percent discount in 

40
00:02:18,500 --> 00:02:22,100
secondary trades, neural links 
performance, therefore stands. 

41
00:02:22,100 --> 00:02:25,000
As an exception in The Current 
financial landscape with a 

42
00:02:25,008 --> 00:02:28,400
company bucking the trend in 
forging its unique trajectory. 

43
00:02:29,100 --> 00:02:32,000
Now in this backdrop, Um, 
neuro-link has not only made 

44
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,300
headlines for its impressive 
financial performance, but also 

45
00:02:35,300 --> 00:02:38,200
for its ambitious and 
potentially groundbreaking 

46
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:42,300
plans, the company's technology.
Aims to stimulate brain 

47
00:02:42,300 --> 00:02:45,200
activity, offering you an 
exciting and previously 

48
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,600
unexplored Avenue of treatment 
for paralyzed patients. 

49
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:52,300
Now, Beyond these medical 
application musk ever. 

50
00:02:52,300 --> 00:02:55,700
The Visionary has articulated 
more ambitious goals for the 

51
00:02:55,700 --> 00:02:58,200
brain chip technology. 
He sees a future where these 

52
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:02,300
implants could facilitate Tool 
epithelia, allow for web, 

53
00:03:02,300 --> 00:03:06,100
browsing directly, through 
thought, and even address mental

54
00:03:06,100 --> 00:03:10,100
illness now in the spirit of 
advancing, this cause musk had 

55
00:03:10,100 --> 00:03:12,800
hinted at the potential for 
human trials. 

56
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:17,900
Commencing as early as 2020 to, 
however, the FDA wary of the 

57
00:03:17,900 --> 00:03:21,600
inherent risks and safety 
concerns associated with such a 

58
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,400
groundbreaking technology. 
Put the brakes on those plans. 

59
00:03:25,900 --> 00:03:29,400
Now, despite the recent FDA 
approval, in the ensuing 

60
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:33,000
positive, Impact on knurlings 
value, the company isn't without

61
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:37,500
its fair share of challenges and
controversies reports indicate 

62
00:03:37,500 --> 00:03:40,000
that the firm is currently under
investigation. 

63
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,600
On several fronts earlier a 
report revealed that the company

64
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:48,000
might have included insiders in 
its animal research, oversight 

65
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,400
committee. 
Now, these individuals can stand

66
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:54,200
to benefit financially from 
expedited development, a 

67
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,700
situation that raises ethical 
questions. 

68
00:03:57,300 --> 00:04:00,600
It's also noteworthy that the 
value of the stock By certain 

69
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:06,400
employees has surged by a 
staggering 150% in two years 

70
00:04:06,500 --> 00:04:09,200
highlighting, the potential 
financial implications of these 

71
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,700
internal decisions. 
Furthermore neurolink is 

72
00:04:12,700 --> 00:04:15,700
grappling with accusations 
related to Animal Welfare, 

73
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,899
company's staff. 
Reportedly said that there were 

74
00:04:18,899 --> 00:04:22,400
instances where surgery is of 
monkeys, pigs and sheep were 

75
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:26,300
rushed once again, raising 
ethical and legal issues. 

76
00:04:26,500 --> 00:04:29,600
And according to these concerns 
to Department of Transportation 

77
00:04:29,700 --> 00:04:33,100
is Also launched a probe to 
determine whether neurolink 

78
00:04:33,100 --> 00:04:36,300
adhered to appropriate, 
containment measurements during 

79
00:04:36,300 --> 00:04:39,700
the transportation of chips 
extracted from the monkeys 

80
00:04:39,700 --> 00:04:42,500
brains. 
Now, at this time, neither Elon 

81
00:04:42,500 --> 00:04:46,100
Musk northerner like have 
responded to requests for any 

82
00:04:46,100 --> 00:04:50,700
comments about these probes. 
Now let's shift gears from Elon 

83
00:04:50,700 --> 00:04:54,800
musk's neural link to Elon 
musk's SpaceX following a 

84
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,300
successful launch of NASA's 
Space. 

85
00:04:57,300 --> 00:04:59,900
X 28, Commercial resupply 
Services. 

86
00:05:00,100 --> 00:05:03,900
Listen to new solar arrays, 
science investigation and 

87
00:05:03,900 --> 00:05:07,800
supplies are on their way to the
International Space Station 

88
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,000
carrying more than 7,000 pounds 
of cargo to the orbiting 

89
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,600
laboratory. 
The uncrewed SpaceX Dragon 

90
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:17,000
spacecraft launched on the 
company's Falcon 9 rocket at 

91
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,800
11:47 a.m. eastern time. 
Monday. 

92
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,000
June 5th, from NASA's, Kennedy 
Space Center in Florida. 

93
00:05:23,500 --> 00:05:26,500
The cargo spacecraft is 
scheduled to autonomously dock 

94
00:05:26,700 --> 00:05:29,800
with the space facing Port of 
the station's, Harmony module. 

95
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,700
At approximately 550 a.m. and 
remain at the station. 

96
00:05:33,700 --> 00:05:38,700
For about 21 days, spacex's 
Dragon will deliver a pair of 

97
00:05:38,700 --> 00:05:42,800
iro, SAS International Space 
Station rollout, solar arrays 

98
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,000
that once installed will expand 
the energy production 

99
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,000
capabilities of the microgravity
complex. 

100
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,300
Now, there's some other 
interesting things on board the 

101
00:05:52,300 --> 00:05:55,800
spacecraft. 
Now, there's a thunderstorm 

102
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,700
watch what happens about. 
Thunderstorms the Thor Davis, 

103
00:05:59,700 --> 00:06:03,400
which Investigation from the 
European space agency and it 

104
00:06:03,407 --> 00:06:06,500
will observe thunderstorms from 
the space station. 

105
00:06:06,700 --> 00:06:09,100
This vantage point will allow 
researchers to see the 

106
00:06:09,100 --> 00:06:13,000
electrical activity from above, 
particularly the Inception 

107
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,500
frequency and altitude of 
recently, discovered blue 

108
00:06:16,500 --> 00:06:20,000
discharges scientists plan to 
estimate the energy of these 

109
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,300
phenomena to determine their 
effort in the atmosphere. 

110
00:06:23,700 --> 00:06:25,500
Now, a better understanding of 
lightning and electrical 

111
00:06:25,500 --> 00:06:29,300
activity in Earth's atmosphere 
can improve atmospheric models 

112
00:06:29,300 --> 00:06:31,800
and provide a better 
understanding of Earth's climate

113
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,000
and weather. 
There's some plant science going

114
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,100
to the International Space 
Station as well. 

115
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,500
Plants exposed to environmental 
stress, including spaceflight, 

116
00:06:39,500 --> 00:06:43,400
undergo changes to adapt, but 
those changes may not be passed 

117
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:47,600
On to the Next Generation. 
The plant habitat 03 will assess

118
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:52,000
whether plants grow in space, 
can transfer some adaptations to

119
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,000
the Next Generation. 
And if so whether a change 

120
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,900
continues through subsequent 
Generations, or stabilizes, the 

121
00:06:58,900 --> 00:07:02,800
investigation will Wait a second
generation of plants using seeds

122
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,500
previously produced in space and
return to Earth. 

123
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,500
Results could provide insight 
into how to grow multiple 

124
00:07:08,500 --> 00:07:12,000
generations of plants to provide
food and other services on 

125
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,700
future space missions. 
This investigation also could 

126
00:07:15,700 --> 00:07:18,900
support development of 
strategies for adapting crops 

127
00:07:18,900 --> 00:07:22,700
and other economically important
plants to Marginal and reclaimed

128
00:07:22,700 --> 00:07:26,000
habitats on Earth. 
And there's one more experiment 

129
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,800
that I'm very interested in. 
They watch Cosmic weathering 

130
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,700
Iris sponsored by the 
International Space Station 

131
00:07:32,700 --> 00:07:36,600
National Laboratory, observes, 
weathering of geological samples

132
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:40,900
exposed to direct solar and 
background Cosmic radiation and 

133
00:07:40,900 --> 00:07:43,600
determines whether changes are 
visually detectable. 

134
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,800
Now, the investigation also 
demonstrates experimental, son, 

135
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:51,000
sensors, torque rods, which 
provide attitude control, + D, 

136
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,400
tumbling for satellites and a 
battery heater collaboration. 

137
00:07:54,500 --> 00:07:57,300
Between graduate undergraduate 
and middle school students in 

138
00:07:57,300 --> 00:08:00,200
Canada, the project provides 
hands-on experience. 

139
00:08:00,500 --> 00:08:03,400
That promotes interest in 
science, technology, engineering

140
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,700
and math studies and careers 
results. 

141
00:08:06,700 --> 00:08:09,700
Also could provide insight into 
weathering processes on 

142
00:08:09,700 --> 00:08:12,900
planetary bodies. 
And when combined with data from

143
00:08:12,900 --> 00:08:16,000
asteroid sampling missions, they
could improve understanding of 

144
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,900
the origins of asteroids irises 
part of the Canadian cubesat 

145
00:08:19,900 --> 00:08:23,300
project led by the CSA.
