Elon Musk Claims Neuralink Could Restore Vision – And One Day Enable ‘Superhuman’ Sight by Ashima Sharda Mahindra

William Attardi on August 21, 2026

Elon Musk has made another bold prediction about the future of brain-computer interfaces, claiming that Neuralink’s upcoming brain implant could restore vision in people who are completely blind – and eventually provide “superhuman” vision by enabling people to perceive infrared, ultraviolet, and even radar-like signals. According to Musk, Neuralink plans to implant its first vision device within the next 6 to 12 months. He claimed that even people who have been blind from birth could potentially regain the ability to see because the implant would bypass damaged eyes and optic nerves, sending visual information directly to the visual cortex, the part of the brain responsible for processing sight. For now, the science remains promising – but still in its early stages. Elon Musk Says Neuralink Could Restore Vision: What to Know | Times Now

Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg Think Smartphones Are on Their Way Out. Tim Cook Says They’re Just Getting Better by Olga Racinowska

Are we approaching the end of the smartphone era, and what could possibly replace them?Interestingly, three big tech leaders have totally different takes on where things are headed.

Mark Zuckerberg’s vision for 2030 – the Orion AR glasses prototype, a device meant to replace smartphones by letting you use 3D holograms, control apps, chat, and navigate using just your voice, eye movements, and gestures. Meta plans to launch Orion around 2027 and has poured over $80 billion into AR and VR tech since 2014.

Elon Musk wants to replace your phone with your brain – Neuralink is developing brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) that could eventually replace smartphones. Their implants let you control tech using only your thoughts, with no need for screens or buttons. Musk’s long-term vision includes wild ideas like telepathy, memory upgrades, and even merging AI with the human brain.

Tim Cook says smartphones are here to stay – Back down to earth for a sec. Tim Cook thinks phones will stay a key part of our daily routine, with smarter AI features and things like AR and wearables adding to the mix instead of taking over.

Can you imagine moving a cursor just by thinking about where you want it to go? Crazy tech, right? Elon Musk has a track record of turning technically challenging engineering tasks into profitable ventures, and this time, it’s Neuralink we’re talking about. In a major milestone, Neuralink recently announced that it received FDA approval to begin human trials of its brain chip technology in early 2024. This marks a significant step forward in the company’s mission to develop advanced brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) that can help restore functionality for individuals with neurological conditions and enhance human capabilities. Neuralink, a company founded by Elon Musk, aims to revolutionize brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). By developing advanced technologies that allow direct communication between the brain and external devices, Neuralink seeks to restore functionality for individuals with neurological conditions and enhance human capabilities. The initial focus is on addressing paralysis and treating complex neurological conditions. Neuralink’s Brain Chip Technology & Patents

The Creator of Baby Ruth Actually Sued Babe Ruth –The Baby Ruth candy bar was created by the Curtiss Candy Company in 1920 — the same year that baseball legend Babe Ruth hit a then-record 54 home runs. But the Great Bambino was irked that the company was selling a candy bar with such a similar name to his own without offering him any royalties. Rather than take the Curtiss Candy Company to court, the Sultan of Swat decided to make his own candy bar, and in 1926 he debuted Ruth’s Home Run bar. The Curtiss Candy Company responded by turning the tables and taking Ruth to court. They accused the slugger of trying to steal their trademark and capitalize on the success of their brand. In a 1931 deposition, Curtiss founder Otto Schnering insisted the candy was named after “Baby Ruth” Cleveland — the daughter of President Grover Cleveland.  He also attested that the company came up with the name in 1919 before the baseball player had become a household name and that the name was merely coincidental. While the validity of those claims is disputed to this day, the court nonetheless ruled in favor of the candy company, forcing Ruth to end his foray into the world of candy.
