On October 18, 2026, Neuralink co-founder and president DJ Seo offered a judgment in an interview: at least 80% to 90% of project delays stem from illusions the team imagines, not from technical snags. He explained Musk's "all-green-light schedule" approach: first strip out all man-made bottlenecks such as approvals and logistics, calculate the fastest possible time according to the laws of physics, and then work backward to the real-world process. The report also noted that Seo acknowledged this scheduling method carries extremely high organizational costs, bringing high pressure, shifting priorities, and staff attrition; brain-computer interfaces involve medical device regulation, and regulatory red lights cannot be run by force. At present, this judgment comes from a paraphrase of the interview, and there have been no subsequent developments.

Neuralink President on Musk-Style Scheduling Logic
Neuralink co-founder and president DJ Seo explained Musk's "all-green-light timeline" in an interview: first strip out all human bottlenecks such as approvals and logistics, calculate the fastest possible time according to the laws of physics, and then work backward to the real-world process. The author believes this first-principles scheduling method can expose internal team friction, but also notes that Seo admits it brings high pressure, shifting priorities, and staff attrition, and that the regulatory red lights for brain-computer interface medical devices cannot be run by force.
