Speaking at an international summit in Tel Aviv, tech billionaire Elon Musk made a striking claim about one of his most ambitious, and perhaps controversial, ventures. He described the work of his brain-chip company as approaching what he called "Jesus-level" technology.

The remarks, delivered at the Samson International Smart Mobility Summit, immediately drew global attention. Musk was referring to Neuralink, his company developing brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). The technology aims to connect the human brain directly to digital systems.
