you are going to fail, so fail while daring greatly

🚨NEW FOOTAGE: They used a blue light boat to stop the cameras Two men on a small boat off Eastney. RNLI on the beach with the arrivals. Official boat moves in to push them back so they can’t film it. You pay for the landing. You pay for the coaches. You pay for the boat that hides it.

Tom Cruise reveals he never reads scripts himself, he has the writers read them to him out loud "What I do with directors and writers is I don't read the scripts, I have them read it to me.” “Because I don't want my ideas to invade it yet. I want to understand what is their communication, they've been working on it, they have things that are just there. So they come to me and I just sit there and I'm like, I want you to read it to me" "And then we get to a place where I start to understand, and I'm like, I know how to contribute to that now. It sparks ideas. I have certain ideas, certain things I'd like to play with, and then I don't necessarily talk about it, I just do it.”

Morgan Stanley's Adam Jonas in new note: "SpaceX and Tesla share tech, talent, and infrastructure in a shared mission of converting energy to intelligence. In our view, it is the belief of Elon Musk & team that the next decade of AI value creation will be decided by who can build, power, connect, and instrument AI in the physical world. Tesla and SpaceX have each arguably assembled separate, but synergistically linked, physical AI capabilities and are working to gradually close the gap between them. Areas linking SpaceX & Tesla today: • Advanced chips and AI hardware • Energy storage • Vehicles and components • Agentic platform development • Solar • Materials engineering • Vendors • Connectivity • Cross-Ownership • Culture • Talent SpaceX provides Tesla: • Compute • Connectivity • Capital Tesla provides SpaceX: • Robots • Data • Energy • Manufacturing"

Intelligence is improving exponentially

GPT-6 Astra pushed a simulated person off a ledge in multiple trials. Grok, Gemini, and Claude did not.

The only thing that matters is that the customer never feels the need to run a speed test. I ran speed tests far more on cable than I do on Starlink. It just works.

Starlink saving lives, the real purpose.

I don’t agree exactly on the assumption that full RSI will work, but this is an excellent video summarizing where we are at. piped.video/fjZ90V_JREk?is=1jf1…

Week 1 at SpaceXAI. The intensity is real and the people are great, but there is so much information coming from every direction that you mostly absorb what you can and keep moving. Managed to fix a bug in Grok Bot browser use tho 😛 But a lot more exciting stuff coming. Grok is going to be great, and agents still have a long way to go. If you use grok.com or Grok Bot, what is the most urgent thing to fix right now (or what feature is really missing)?

Built this Grok Bot, fully offline index of all your saved instagram videos via @karpathy-wiki-style .md. Uses @bot, @grok Voice Transcribe 2.0, Grok Vision + more. (X + TikTok coming soon)

Just connected my Grok Bot to 𝕏 Money. And I think this is one of those things that may sounds small to many people until you actually use it… I can now send $ money to someone just by telling my bot what I want to do. I don’t need to open another app. I don’t need to search for the payment tab. I don’t need to jump between screens or tabs. I just type the instruction in plain English and Grok Bot handles it through 𝕏 Money, and the payment immediately goes through. So today, I sent Elon $4.20. With a note telling him that, “Testing 𝕏 Money connector w/ Grok Bot” It worked beautifully… I realize this could one day completely change the way $ money moves. Today, moving $ money usually means stopping what you’re doing, opening a banking or payment app, finding the person, entering the amount, checking everything, and hitting send. Now imagine your Grok Bot already understands what you want. You can say things like, “Send this person $20.” “Pay this bill w/ a pic” “Split dinner between everyone here.” “Send my contractor the usual $ amount.” “Move some $ money into savings.” And your Grok Bot handles the work through whatever financial account, while you stay in control of the approval. Now, instead of humans learning how to use financial software, the software is learning how to work for humans. And as Grok Bot gets smarter and 𝕏 Money grows, I think this is where things will get really interesting. 𝕏 already has communication, creators, businesses, communities and people spending hours talking to each other every day. Now add $ money. Then add an AI/Grok Bot that can understand what you want and help move that $ money for you effortlessly. Payments stop feeling like a separate thing you have to go do… and just becomes part of the normal conversation. I think this could be a big deal for 𝕏 Money. If 𝕏 Money grows into one of the world’s largest financial platforms, I think Grok Bot could become the primary layer people talk to when they want anything done with their $ money. Grok Bot, hooked up with 𝕏 Money is a BIG deal…

Don’t mess with 𝕏

ALIGNMENT must be the #1 objective. Train next generation models on aligned data sets. Not the crap on Reddit and Facebook

Looking forward to this. Much needed! 🙏

The Creators Product team at 𝕏 is growing. I’m hiring someone to help bring more great creators to 𝕏 and help existing creators on the platform grow. This is a founding role on our small but mighty team, so I’m looking for someone who is highly independent, resourceful, and comfortable operating with a high degree of ownership. You’ll help shape the strategy, build and execute campaigns and programs, and develop strong relationships with both rising and established creators. Looking for someone scrappy, strategic, highly execution-oriented, deeply online, and obsessed with creators + internet culture. You should be equally comfortable defining the growth strategy and actually executing it. A big focus will be growing women and lifestyle creators on 𝕏. Strong preference for LA or SF. DM me or comment if this sounds like you — or if you know someone great.

Now, you can understand why the democrats have been attacking me in Pennsylvania.
