Thousands of Neuralink implants per year by 2030

“If all goes well, there will be hundreds of people with Neuralinks within a few years, maybe tens of thousands within 5 years, millions within 10 years.”

Thousands of Neuralink implants per year by 2030 was unveiled in August 2024 with Elon Musk predicting tens of thousands within five years and millions within 10 years. Thousands of potential patients and paralyzed individuals are waiting and involved in trials. This follows Neuralink's pattern of similar predictions for scaling brain-computer interfaces. Neuralink aims to scale to thousands of implants annually, then millions, which matters for restoring digital freedom and enabling brain-controlled devices like robotic arms for everyday tasks.
