Elon Musk's Neuralink has achieved a significant milestone as its first patient, a 29-year-old named Noland Arbaugh, demonstrated the ability to share a Tweet on X/Twitter 'just by thinking'. Arbaugh received the implant in January and recently showcased his newfound capability on the platform, humorously recounting an incident where he was mistaken for a bot by Twitter but reinstated by X and Elon Musk.
The interaction between Arbaugh and Musk continued, with Musk acknowledging the historic moment by highlighting that it was the 'first ever post made just by thinking' using the Neuralink Telepathy device. This breakthrough follows a video released by Neuralink showing Arbaugh, who is paralyzed due to a diving accident, controlling a cursor with his mind, playing chess, and even turning off a laptop's music.
