Those of you who follow Musk would know that the Neuralink founder is quite active on Twitter and he shares the developments of his projects regularly. As soon as the news got out, Musk shared a link expressing his empathy on the micro-blogging site. “Sorry to hear about China launch failure today. I know how painful that is to the people who designed & built it,” he wrote.
