Famed musician and former Elon Musk boo Claire âGrimesâ Boucher wanted a brain-computer interface (BCI) for her birthday â and one of Neuralinkâs apparent competitors was happy to comply.
After Grimes tweeted about getting a ânon invasive brain computer interfaceâ for her birthday, AJ Keller, the CEO of the startup Neurosity, confirmed in an interview with Insider that his firm had indeed made a custom brain gadget for the âKill V. Maimâ singer.
While a tech company sending a nerdy sci-fi celebrity fan a gadget wouldnât really be news on its own, the fact that Grimes is the mother to two of Muskâs children and is seemingly on pretty acrimonious terms with the Canadian-South African billionaire, who owns perhaps the most famous and one of the most controversial BCI companies in the world, makes this story incredibly juicy.
