Neuralink Hits $42 Billion in Secondary Trades as Bidders Test Nearly $60 Billion

Summary
$42 billion valuations have emerged in recent Neuralink secondary-market trades, nearly five times the brain-chip startup's $9 billion valuation from its last funding round.
Caplight data showed recent transactions ranging from $29 billion to $42 billion, with some buyers trying to acquire shares at almost $60 billion as demand for Elon Musk-linked private companies intensifies.
That demand has accelerated after SpaceX's IPO, which lifted Musk's wealth and reinforced investor expectations that stakes across his companies can gain value through ties to his broader AI and robotics empire.
Neuralink remains early-stage despite the surge: its implants have been used in 21 trial patients so far, and the company has not disclosed a new funding round or an official current valuation.
