Noland Arbaugh made his first-ever tweet on the micro-blogging platform, and it has gone viral and even prompted a response from Elon Musk.

Neuralink, a brain-chip company founded by Elon Musk, live-streamed its first patient implanted with a chip using his mind to play online chess. In the video, Noland Arbaugh—who had a diving accident that left him paralyzed below the shoulder—played chess on his laptop and used the Neuralink gadget to move the cursor. Recently, Arbaugh made his first-ever tweet on the micro-blogging platform, and it has gone viral and even prompted a response from Musk.
