🇬🇧 We’re excited to announce our first participant in the UK! Paul, who is paralyzed due to motor neuron disease, received his Neuralink implant at @uclh earlier this month and was able to control a computer with his thoughts just hours after surgery.

Oct 27, 2025 · 4:00 PM UTC

He’s now working with our engineers to explore using the implant to play his favorite video games like Dawn of War and perform other tasks that could enrich and restore autonomy in his daily life.
This marks an important step toward making our technology available to help people around the world.

unfortunately he has now been arrested by the police for thinking something offensive

Thanks for sharing! In my opinion neuralink’s attempt to treat vision loss is an historical moment in human history - No less! After SpaceX’s huge success, I’m super excited & once again amazed by the scale of innovation that @elonmusk & the Neuralink team are generating in our lives. Godspeed!

Went very well, look at those happy smiles! Congrats to Paul, and thanks to Elon Musk for this - you ROCK @elonmusk

Supplanting Elon might not be possible. People of his caliber emerge only once in a century. Now at mid 50’s he ventures into what amounts to stage 3 of aging. We have ~1600 weeks at maximum to be led by someone with that much fire. Of those, >1000 will involve his mind in a geriatric tail spin. @elonmusk ⏳ Elon is super duper rare imo. We should try and save him even if he doesn’t want to be saved from aging.

Breakthrough in Britain! 🇬🇧 The first Neuralink N1 implant in the UK is in—and the patient is already using thought to control a computer. A huge step for accessibility, autonomy, and hope. 🧠🚀 #Neuralink #BCI #Innovation

That has to be an insane feeling if you operate someone and shortly after he's able to control a computer with his mind.

I'm sure the UK government will demand access so they can monitor his thoughts 🙄

That’s incredible! Congratulations to the team, and especially Paul.

Could they eventually be interconnected to Tesla robot and control arms, legs connect to body?

I'm looking forward to when it could help blind people.. like.. if they could see through something like a meta glass, with the same pov.. that would be a game changer..
