Elon Musk made a post in which he indicated that, in addition to starting large-scale production of these ‘chips’, Neuralink also intends to automate the surgical procedure to place ‘chips’ in human brains.
Elon Musk is in a hurry.
It seems that 2026 will be an important year for Neuralink, as the company is expected to begin scaling up the production of these ‘chips’. Furthermore, the surgical procedure to implant these ‘chips’ in patients’ brains is also expected to be automated.
This information was shared by Elon Musk himself in a post published on his page on the social network “X”.
“Neuralink will begin large-scale production of brain-computer interface devices and transition to a nearly fully automated surgical procedure in 2026,” reads Musk’s post.
It is worth recalling that Neuralink’s first patient was Noland Arbaugh, a quadriplegic person who had one of these ‘chips’ implanted in January 2024 and who has since told Business Insider that the procedure helped him regain some independence.
The latest update on the number of people with ‘chips’ implanted in their brains was shared in September 2025, when Neuralink published a post on X stating that 12 people had already undergone the same procedure as Arbaugh.
With the intention of scaling chip production and automating the surgical procedure, it is believed that Neuralink could significantly increase the number of clients in 2026.
