Max Hodak, the co-founder of brain implant startup Neuralink, announced today that he’s leaving the company. Hodak, who started the ultra-ambitious venture with Elon Musk and had until recently served as its president, didn’t say why he was leaving the company or on what terms. In other words, it’s not currently clear whether he left voluntary or was fired. “I am no longer at Neuralink (as of a few weeks ago),” he wrote in a tweet. “I learned a ton there and remain a huge cheerleader for the company! Onward to new things.” Musk has been a prominent spokesperson for Neuralink, and has used that position to promise incredible results that many outside brain scientists remain very skeptical about.
