Neuralink posted on social media that the FDA had given the OK for the first-in-human clinical studies.
'Congratulations Neuralink team!,' Musk Tweeted after the news.
'This is the result of incredible work by the Neuralink team in close collaboration with the FDA and represents an important first step that will one day allow our technology to help many people,' Neuralink said in a tweet.
