Mr. Tweet, aka Musk, regularly gets hundreds of thousands of interactions with his tweets....

For several years, Neuralink was a company shrouded in mystery, having been co-founded by Musk to little fanfare back in 2016. At a basic level, the stated ambition of the company has always been to develop a brain-computer interface or BCI—a gadget that connects the brain to a computer.

The German international has been troubled by a back injury and has not featured for club or country since March, but had hoped to resume full training this week. Monday was seen as an important day for Can’s recovery, but scan results on his injury remain inconclusive and he has already been ruled out of Sunday’s final Premier League game of the season against Brighton.
