<p>The first-ever such patient, 29-year-old paraplegic man Noland Arbaugh, was seen using his mind and not hands to play a game of chess on the computer in the video shared on X.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The video was streamed on Musk's social platform X on Wednesday (Mar 20) where&nbsp;Noland Arbaugh can be&nbsp;seen using his computer to play chess as well as the game Civilization VI.&nbsp;</p>
