Other uses of brain implants will include web browsing, and telepathy. The billionaire has touted the safety of the devices on several occasions, and said that he has full faith in his company, going as far as saying that he would be willing to implant them in his own children.<\/p>\n<p>On at least four occasions since 2019, Musk has predicted that the company will <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bill-to-create-rush-limbaugh-day-approved-by-missouris-gop-led-house\/\" title=\"Bill To Create \u2018Rush Limbaugh Day\u2019 Approved By Missouri\u2019s GOP-Led House\">receive approval<\/a> for human trials from the FDA. However, an application was not put forward until 2022, which was then denied. After the request was denied in 2022, the FDA had listed several concerns it had with the chips that Neuralink needed to be addressed before it would grant approval. The concerns had included major issues with the lithium battery of the device, wires in the chip, and the challenge of extracting the device without <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/elon-musks-neuralink-startup-receives-fda-approval-for-first-in-human-brain-chip-implant-clinical-study\/\" title=\"Neuralink, Elon Musk's startup, gets FDA nod for first human brain chip implant study.\">damaging brain tissue<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Neuralink has also been the subject of several federal probes and investigations since it was founded.
