This is a sign that Musk’s ventures, including SpaceX and Tesla, might possibly be better off with less of his controlling management style.
Nelson remembered asking Gwynne Shotwell, president and CEO of SpaceX, last week: “Tell me that the distraction that Elon might have on Twitter is not going to damage SpaceX,” as reported by NBC News.
Shotwell replied that, fortunately, the mayhem caused by Musk’s takeover of Twitter hasn’t affected the business, adding that he had “nothing to worry about.”
Nelson must have felt very relieved to hear the news.
Because he knew she was in charge, he stated, “I hugged her with a smile on my face. She is in charge of SpaceX.
In its efforts to assist NASA in sending the first astronauts to the Moon in more than 50 years, SpaceX is at a crucial point. The last thing SpaceX needs right now as it tries to get its ambitious Starship spacecraft into orbit is Musk’s petulant behavior and prejudiced rants in response to his botched acquisition, though.
SpaceX employees, who circulated an open letter this summer accusing the billionaire CEO of failing to uphold the team’s “No Asshole” and zero-tolerance ᵴе*ᴜal hαrαssmenт policies, have been particularly unimpressed by Musk’s diversions.
Also notably mentioned in the letter were Musk’s then-current acquisition aspirations for Twitter.
We frequently become distracted and embarrassed by Elon’s public actions, especially in recent weeks, the letter stated.
The employees who signed the letter were fired as a response by Musk, a self-described adamant defender of free expression.
The majority of the questions raised by Nelson’s most recent remarks—among which is where SpaceX would be right now if it weren’t for Musk and his questionable behavior—will likely never have an adequate response.
He did create the business, and there is no doubt that the CEO has led SpaceX through many impossible-to-get-out of jams and prevented the company’s bankruptcy multiple times.
But those times are long gone, and many things, including Musk, have changed. The business magnate has changed from being a successful CEO to a highly contentious and vocal character, especially recently.
Shotwell, who has proven herself to be more than competent of leading the ship over the past 20 years, is fortunately Musk’s choice for SpaceX. This cannot be true of Musk’s other companies, such as Tesla and Twitter.
SpaceX has a good possibility of developing a dependable lunar lander in the shape of a Starship variation that is capable of returning astronauts to the Moon after drastically reducing the cost of putting cargo and astronauts into Earth’s orbit.
But it’s still uncertain if Musk’s initiatives will contribute to or hinder a successful lunar landing.
Nelson believes that the company’s obligations come before all the Twitter controversy.
He told NBC News, “The pudding is the proof.”
Elon Musk’s ‘miracle’ Brain Chip: Help the Blind See and the PаrаlyzeԀ Walk
Recently, billionaire Elon Musk said that his technology company Neuralink developed will test implanting chips into the human brain in six months, after the company missed previously set timelines.
The company is developing brain chip interfaces that will allow disabled patients to move and communicate again, while working towards the goal of restoring vision, Elon Musk said on Nov. 30.
The principle of operation of the Neuralink chip is to implant electrodes in the area of the brain that controls voluntary movement, and then connect to a network in charge of processing, arousing and transmitting nerve signals.
Previously, Neuralink, based in the San Francisco Bay Area and Austin, Texas, successfully implanted chips in the brains of pigs and monkeys and recorded positive results. Specifically, the Neuralink chip helped the monkey to play games with his mind.

Elon Musk said he will perform the first transplant into the brain of people, who have severe spinal cord injuries or quadriplegia, after being approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). .
“We want to be very careful and make sure the chip will work properly before we put it into people,” Musk said at the device public event.
Speaking to representatives at Neuralink headquarters lasting nearly three hours, Mr. Musk emphasized the pace of development of his device: “Initial progress, especially when implanting in humans, is likely to be very slow, But we’re working hard to stay on track.”
Elon Musk said the first two human uses for the Neuralink device are to restore vision and mobility in people with disabilities. “Even if someone has never had vision, for example they were born blind, we believe we can still restore vision,” he said.
It is known that the event was originally scheduled for October 31, but Elon Musk postponed the previous date without giving a reason.
Elon Musk, who runs electric vehicle maker Tesla, rocket company SpaceX and social media platform Twitter, is known for lofty goals like making Mars a “colony” of Earth. His ambitions for Neuralink, first announced in 2016, are similarly grand.
He wants to develop a chip that will allow the brain to control complex electronic devices and eventually allow paralyzed people to regain motor function as well as treat brain diseases such as Parkinson’s, dementia, and dementia. Alzheimer. He also gives information about combining the brain with artificial intelligence.
However, Neuralink is still behind the original plan. Musk said in 2019 he is aiming to get regulatory approval by the end of 2020. Then, speaking at a conference in late 2021 he hopes to begin human trials this year. .
However, the company completed studies of four people in Australia in 2021 and implanted its device in a patient in the US for the first time in July, Reuters reported.
