Elon Musk's Neuralink raises $650 million in latest funding round

Elon Musk's brain implant company Neuralink said on Monday that it has raised $650 million in its latest funding round.

The company said in a post on X that it raised Series E fundraising with participation from investors including ARK Invest, DFJ Growth, Founders Fund, G42, Human Capital, Lightspeed, QIA, Sequoia Capital, Thrive Capital, Valor Equity Partners and Vy Capital.

"With this funding, we accelerate our path to bringing life-changing capabilities to more people, and continue pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with brain-computer interfaces," the post read.



Neuralink is in the process of testing its implant, which is intended to help people with spinal cord injuries. The device has allowed the first patient to play video games, browse the internet, post on social media and move a cursor on his laptop directly with his brain.
