The brain-computer interface is designed to help people with severe brain damages and diseases. The upcoming event will provide a progress update on the company's project.
Musk has been hinting about the progress update since February. In July, Musk tweeted that a progress update will happen on Aug. 28 as well as posted: "AI symbiosis while u wait."
Aside from conquering health and medicine with Neuralink, Musk has also invested in various industries, from automotive (Tesla), space navigation and telecommunications (SpaceX), real estate, and infrastructures (Boring Company) as well as artificial intelligence and competitive gaming (Open AI). All these investments have made the 49-year old Musk the fifth wealthiest man in the world with $83.6 billion net worth.
Meanwhile, Musk is currently under fire as Neuralink former employees claim his demanding timelines have created a "pressure cooker" working environment, leading to conflicts between engineers and scientists, risky experiments, employees overwhelmed by workloads.
