Elon Musk’s Neuralink has successfully implanted its device into the brain of a second human patient, he said in a recent interview.

“I don’t want to jinx it but it seems to have gone extremely well with the second implant. There’s a lot of signal, a lot of electrodes. It’s working very well,” said Musk on Lex Fridman’s podcast on Friday (2 August), the episode of which ran for over eight hours.

“Progress is good and the patient seems to have made a full recovery, with no ill effects that we are aware of.
