REAL-LIFE Jurassic Park could be possible with Elon Musk’s Neuralink tech, co-founder claims
Co-founder of Elon Musk’s company Neuralink says they have the tech for building a REAL Jurassic Park.
- A real-life Jurassic Park could be the next project of Elon Musk’s Neuralink corporation.
- Co-founder Max Hodak tweeted they have the technology for building the dinosaur parkland.
- Meanwhile, the neurotechnology company is working on developing brain implants that could cure neurological disorders.
The 1993 classic “Jurassic Park” could turn into reality sooner than we expect! According to Max Hodak, co-founder of Elon Musk’s Neuralink, they have the technology to build Jurassic Park “if they wanted to.”
Earlier this week, the engineer tweeted:
“We could probably build Jurassic Park if we wanted to. Wouldn’t be genetically authentic dinosaurs but 🤷♂️. Maybe 15 years of breeding + engineering to get super exotic novel species.”

Hodak claims a real-life Jurassic Parc could enhance biodiversity.
As the New York Post reports, the president of Musk’s neurotechnology company did not explain exactly how such a dinosaur experience could become a reality. However, he did mention that creating a real-life Jurassic Park could significantly contribute to increasing biodiversity.
In a follow-up tweet, Neuralink’s co-founder said:
“Biodiversity (antifragility) is definitely valuable; conservation is important and makes sense. But why do we stop there? Why don’t we more intentionally try to generate novel diversity?”

Although the idea undoubtedly sounds awesome, we cannot overlook the fact that in every Jurassic Park movie the plan always goes down. Hopefully, Hodak has seen the films or at least read the 1990 novel by author Michael Crichton and has the knowledge needed to avoid such horrific outcomes.
In the meantime, Neuralink continues to work on their brain-implant device prototype.
The scientists believe their “Breakthrough Technology for the Brain” could help people suffering from neurological disorders, spinal cord injuries, and even blindness. According to Elon Musk, human trials could begin as soon as this year. Currently, the company is testing its futuristic invention on a monkey that is already able to play Pong with his mind! Musk also joked that their primate will soon be able to use platforms like Twitch and Discord.
A monkey is literally playing a video game telepathically using a brain chip!!
