  Hi everybody and welcome back to another episode of the Elon Musk
• 0:07
  podcast where we delve into the fascinating world of one of our
• 0:11
  era's most influential innovators.
• 0:13
  In today's episode, we're examining a particularly
• 0:16
  intriguing development, the astonishing rise in knurlings
• 0:20
  valuation, to an estimated five billion dollars, more than
• 0:24
  double its worth from just two years ago.
• 0:27
  And despite being years away from commercial, Socialization
• 0:30
  and its various regulatory challenges and ethical questions
• 0:35
  neurolink stands out as an intriguing exception in a market
• 0:38
  trend of pre-ipo companies. Now join us as we delve into the
• 0:43
  details of these secondary trades, the groundbreaking
• 0:46
  aspirations behind neural, links neural, interface technology,
• 0:49
  and the hurdles it faces in the course of its ambitious Journey,
• 0:53
  while the company's Innovative Pursuit, neural interface
• 0:56
  technology seems to dwell in the realm of Science Fiction.
• 1:00
  The numbers tell a very different story in the recent
• 1:03
  months. Neuro links, estimated value,
• 1:06
  skyrocketed to, about five billion dollars.
• 1:09
  That's an astonishing leap from its valuation of around 2,
• 1:12
  billion dollars just a few years ago.
• 1:15
  Secondary trades involving the privately held companies stock
• 1:19
  precipitated. This significant increase in
• 1:21
  wealth. Now driven by existing
• 1:23
  shareholders such as early investors and employees of a
• 1:28
  company. These has Leverage The Thin
• 1:31
  volume of these transactions to upturn the valuation metrics,
• 1:34
  effectively painting a promising picture of neural links
• 1:38
  financial future in this financial escalation is all the
• 1:42
  more surprising considering it took place before the US Food
• 1:45
  and Drug Administration. Gave the green light for a human
• 1:49
  trial involving knurlings technology though.
• 1:52
  This approval granted on May 25th. 2023 did appear to act as
• 1:57
  a catalyst triggering a flurry of The trades and seemingly
• 2:01
  bolstering, the value of the company.
• 2:03
  However, the Risin nerd links valuation needs to be
• 2:07
  contextualized within the broader market.
• 2:09
  Trends now Kemp light data reported that 85% of pre-ipo
• 2:15
  companies are witnessing a forty seven percent discount in
• 2:18
  secondary trades, neural links performance, therefore stands.
• 2:22
  As an exception in The Current financial landscape with a
• 2:25
  company bucking the trend in forging its unique trajectory.
• 2:29
  Now in this backdrop, Um, neuro-link has not only made
• 2:32
  headlines for its impressive financial performance, but also
• 2:35
  for its ambitious and potentially groundbreaking
• 2:38
  plans, the company's technology. Aims to stimulate brain
• 2:42
  activity, offering you an exciting and previously
• 2:45
  unexplored Avenue of treatment for paralyzed patients.
• 2:48
  Now, Beyond these medical application musk ever.
• 2:52
  The Visionary has articulated more ambitious goals for the
• 2:55
  brain chip technology. He sees a future where these
• 2:58
  implants could facilitate Tool epithelia, allow for web,
• 3:02
  browsing directly, through thought, and even address mental
• 3:06
  illness now in the spirit of advancing, this cause musk had
• 3:10
  hinted at the potential for human trials.
• 3:13
  Commencing as early as 2020 to, however, the FDA wary of the
• 3:17
  inherent risks and safety concerns associated with such a
• 3:21
  groundbreaking technology. Put the brakes on those plans.
• 3:25
  Now, despite the recent FDA approval, in the ensuing
• 3:29
  positive, Impact on knurlings value, the company isn't without
• 3:33
  its fair share of challenges and controversies reports indicate
• 3:37
  that the firm is currently under investigation.
• 3:40
  On several fronts earlier a report revealed that the company
• 3:43
  might have included insiders in its animal research, oversight
• 3:48
  committee. Now, these individuals can stand
• 3:50
  to benefit financially from expedited development, a
• 3:54
  situation that raises ethical questions.
• 3:57
  It's also noteworthy that the value of the stock By certain
• 4:00
  employees has surged by a staggering 150% in two years
• 4:06
  highlighting, the potential financial implications of these
• 4:09
  internal decisions. Furthermore neurolink is
• 4:12
  grappling with accusations related to Animal Welfare,
• 4:15
  company's staff. Reportedly said that there were
• 4:18
  instances where surgery is of monkeys, pigs and sheep were
• 4:22
  rushed once again, raising ethical and legal issues.
• 4:26
  And according to these concerns to Department of Transportation
• 4:29
  is Also launched a probe to determine whether neurolink
• 4:33
  adhered to appropriate, containment measurements during
• 4:36
  the transportation of chips extracted from the monkeys
• 4:39
  brains. Now, at this time, neither Elon
• 4:42
  Musk northerner like have responded to requests for any
• 4:46
  comments about these probes. Now let's shift gears from Elon
• 4:50
  musk's neural link to Elon musk's SpaceX following a
• 4:54
  successful launch of NASA's Space.
• 4:57
  X 28, Commercial resupply Services.
• 5:00
  Listen to new solar arrays, science investigation and
• 5:03
  supplies are on their way to the International Space Station
• 5:08
  carrying more than 7,000 pounds of cargo to the orbiting
• 5:11
  laboratory. The uncrewed SpaceX Dragon
• 5:13
  spacecraft launched on the company's Falcon 9 rocket at
• 5:17
  11:47 a.m. eastern time. Monday.
• 5:19
  June 5th, from NASA's, Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
• 5:23
  The cargo spacecraft is scheduled to autonomously dock
• 5:26
  with the space facing Port of the station's, Harmony module.
• 5:30
  At approximately 550 a.m. and remain at the station.
• 5:33
  For about 21 days, spacex's Dragon will deliver a pair of
• 5:38
  iro, SAS International Space Station rollout, solar arrays
• 5:43
  that once installed will expand the energy production
• 5:46
  capabilities of the microgravity complex.
• 5:49
  Now, there's some other interesting things on board the
• 5:52
  spacecraft. Now, there's a thunderstorm
• 5:55
  watch what happens about. Thunderstorms the Thor Davis,
• 5:59
  which Investigation from the European space agency and it
• 6:03
  will observe thunderstorms from the space station.
• 6:06
  This vantage point will allow researchers to see the
• 6:09
  electrical activity from above, particularly the Inception
• 6:13
  frequency and altitude of recently, discovered blue
• 6:16
  discharges scientists plan to estimate the energy of these
• 6:20
  phenomena to determine their effort in the atmosphere.
• 6:23
  Now, a better understanding of lightning and electrical
• 6:25
  activity in Earth's atmosphere can improve atmospheric models
• 6:29
  and provide a better understanding of Earth's climate
• 6:31
  and weather. There's some plant science going
• 6:34
  to the International Space Station as well.
• 6:36
  Plants exposed to environmental stress, including spaceflight,
• 6:39
  undergo changes to adapt, but those changes may not be passed
• 6:43
  On to the Next Generation. The plant habitat 03 will assess
• 6:47
  whether plants grow in space, can transfer some adaptations to
• 6:52
  the Next Generation. And if so whether a change
• 6:55
  continues through subsequent Generations, or stabilizes, the
• 6:58
  investigation will Wait a second generation of plants using seeds
• 7:02
  previously produced in space and return to Earth.
• 7:05
  Results could provide insight into how to grow multiple
• 7:08
  generations of plants to provide food and other services on
• 7:12
  future space missions. This investigation also could
• 7:15
  support development of strategies for adapting crops
• 7:18
  and other economically important plants to Marginal and reclaimed
• 7:22
  habitats on Earth. And there's one more experiment
• 7:26
  that I'm very interested in. They watch Cosmic weathering

  National Laboratory, observes, weathering of geological samples
• 7:36
  exposed to direct solar and background Cosmic radiation and
• 7:40
  determines whether changes are visually detectable.
• 7:44
  Now, the investigation also demonstrates experimental, son,
• 7:46
  sensors, torque rods, which provide attitude control, + D,
• 7:51
  tumbling for satellites and a battery heater collaboration.
• 7:54
  Between graduate undergraduate and middle school students in
• 7:57
  Canada, the project provides hands-on experience.
• 8:00
  That promotes interest in science, technology, engineering
• 8:03
  and math studies and careers results.
• 8:06
  Also could provide insight into weathering processes on
• 8:09
  planetary bodies. And when combined with data from
• 8:12
  asteroid sampling missions, they could improve understanding of
• 8:16
  the origins of asteroids irises part of the Canadian cubesat
• 8:19
