Documents posted to the FTC website confirm that the \u201cacquiring party\u201d is Elon Musk the individual\u2014not, say, SpaceX. But there wasn\u2019t any publicity blitz or press release about the acquisition, and a site search of the APR Energy website for \u201cMusk\u201d produces zero results.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/longhaulmovingpros.com\/?p=930\">China Just Performed the World\u2019s First Implant of a Commercial Brain-Computer Interface<\/a><\/p>\n<p>And it\u2019s not a small company.
