Not even remotely. Typically whenever you want to do something, like moving your arm, walking, w/e, that's firing your neurons, causing them to spike. The idea for a lot of these implants is trying to detect that spike, and then translate it into a roughly corresponding mechanical action.

Assuming this is true, it's great news, means it is working as intended. Unfortunately, it was said by Elon Musk, so the odds of it being true are pretty low.

"Promising" is the key word there. Could mean one or two measurement outliers/coincidences getting blown out of proportion, could be something real but not yet verified.
