Elon Musk told investors he would develop cyborg body parts better than regular ones. Tesla and Neuralink would collaborate on this project to help amputees. However, the tech billionaire hasn’t shared additional details about it at the time of writing.
Many people know Elon Musk for sometimes overpromising products and services. Yet, his companies have been steadily developing cyborgs and cybernetic implants. Neuralink and Tesla may not produce advanced prosthetic limbs this year on the next. However, we may see people with Musk-produced cyber arms and legs in the future.
This article will discuss Elon Musk’s proposal to create robot body parts for disabled people. Then, I will cover Tesla and Neuralink’s latest projects that may promote machine limb development.
Will Elon Musk make robotic limbs?
The Tesla and Neuralink CEO announced a surprising project during his latest investor call. Here’s what Elon Musk told Tesla investors on Wednesday:

“By combining a Neuralink implant and a robotic arm or leg for someone that has their arm or leg—or all arms or legs—amputated, we believe we can give basically a cyborg body that is incredibly capable.”
“I think it would be incredible to potentially help millions of people around the world, and give them an arm or leg that is as good, maybe long term better than, a biological one.”
Yahoo Finance says Tesla and Neuralink cannot create such advanced prosthetics. It says Tesla only started to create a humanoid robot in 2021. Also, the company is still taking its first steps in developing actuators for machine limbs.
Meanwhile, in May, Neuralink received approval from the Food and Drug Administration to start a human clinical study for its brain-machine interface (BMI) chip. However, the tech firm hasn’t proven the gadget’s practicality.
Yahoo Finance also cited Musk’s behavior. The news outlet suggested Elon Musk’s “true gift” is recruiting the best minds for his cause. For example, he explained on Wednesday how he convinced Apple Director of product design Charles Kuehmann to work for him.
