Neuralink's Private Market Valuation Surges to $42 Billion

Neuralink is trading in private secondary markets at roughly $29–$42 billion, with some bidders aiming for about $60 billion, a roughly fivefold increase from its $9 billion valuation in last year’s round; investors are chasing exposure to Elon Musk’s AI and robotics empire, even as there’s no disclosed new funding yet and Oman’s sovereign wealth fund recently invested. Neuralink’s brain-implant technology is in early trials with 21 patients reported this year.
