Yesterday, September 20, was an important day for Elon Musk cofounded Neuralink, a neurotechnology company developing implantable brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), as it received approval from an independent review board to begin recruiting for its first human trials. The company is currently focused on curing a disease called quadriplegia (paralysis to all four limbs) using brain implants. The company has been in the news for both its remarkable innovation as well as criticisms of impossible-sounding claims.

Bluesky is a decentralized social app that was launched this year as an alternative to X (formerly Twitter). The app was co-founded by former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey. Notably, since Musk's takeover of Twitter, whenever he says something shocking, it sparks an exodus of users from his platform to rivals like Bluesky. This has happened again. The app on September 19, 2023, saw a massive spike in new user signup after Musk made a shocking comment about making X a paid-only app for everyone. It immediately saw Bluesky log a fantastic new record of the most signups in a day on the portal. While it is not clear what caused the increase in users in a single day, but the comment might have had an impact on users' minds. Know how many new users joined X competitor Bluesky.

Neuralink Corp., the brain implant startup led by billionaire Elon Musk, is recruiting patients for a clinical trial, a long-awaited step that brings the science fiction-esque technology closer to human reality.

I've had a running joke on the social media platform formerly known as Twitter for a while, though I don't think it's all that funny anymore. Frankly, it probably never was. It goes like this: Whenever Elon Musk does something obviously repulsive to his customers — that's advertisers — I declare it “another great weekend” for X Corp. Chief Executive Officer Linda Yaccarino and her efforts to bring back ad revenue.

Elon Musk has suggested charging all users of his social media platform X, which would be the biggest shake-up since he took over the site then known as Twitter last October, but experts say he might struggle to get users on board.

The much-talked-about AI Summit called the AI Insight Forum has concluded in Washington, DC, US. The session was hosted by Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer and he invited prominent tech leaders in the US who were actively working with artificial intelligence. The purpose of this summit was to understand the perspective of the market before the government finalizes regulations in the space of AI. While the forum was held behind closed doors and there was no coverage of the event, some leaders spoke to the media or left remarks afterwards. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and X (formerly Twitter) owner Elon Musk were among those who gave statements.

Elon Musk called artificial intelligence a double-edged sword, telling US senators Wednesday that the technology can be a tremendous source for good but warning about risks to civilization, according to a person in the closed-door session.

Arguably the most famous social media app, it is always in the news, Twitter, which is now called X is facing major popularity problems in terms of number of downloads. Ever since Elon Musk has become part of the app, it has seen some major improvements in terms of active users, however, after two months of rebranding, the app has faced the lowest downloads in a decade and these have fallen by 30 percent in just 60 days. This may not come as a surprise to Musk as over the past few months, the app has been going through many changes and the impact is seen in the decline in downloads rather than an uptick he may have been hoping for.
