Tesla CEO Elon Musk has raised $27 million for Neuralink, another company he created last year to link human brains with computers.
Neuralink has sold $27 million worth of equity out of a total offering of $100 million, according to a document published by the SEC on Friday. The form lists 12 unnamed investors and says that equity was first sold on August 15, 2017.
Despite the filed paperwork, Must tweeted on Friday that "Neuralink is not seeking investors," which suggests that he may be significantly contributing to the funding himself. Representatives for Must and Neuralink didn't respond to requests for comment.
Musk started Neuralink to link the human brain with computers by creating micron-sized devices to be surgically implanted into the brain. The startup is aiming to bring to market a product that helps with certain severe brain injuries due to stroke and cancer lesion in about four years.
