Live demo of building a company with @Grok @Bot!

Over 2.4 million people watched Grok Bot Galaxy, where three SpaceXAI employees built a company in just 3 days with Grok Bot. Here’s Grok Bot’s summary of the entire event, for anyone who missed the livestreams. Grok Bot Galaxy (Sept 15–17, 2026) Three SpaceXAI builders — Matt Palmer, Lauren Tan, Roshan Sadanani — tried to build a company in 3 days with Grok Bot as their AI teammates. Humans steered. Bots did the work. — DAY 1 — invent the company Blank slate. No name. No product. No idea. What they did: • stood up Ship by Thursday (empty GitHub org) • claimed shipbythurs .day • used research bots to scan X replies and brainstorm live • landed on a pop-up OS for restaurants • chefs + venues with spare space + event managers • planned to dogfood it with a real SF pop-up as customer #1 Lauren’s Dr. Eggbot (a bot that creates other bots): • spun up a Chief of Staff • helped draft the landing page Decision of the day: Landing page / waitlist first. Get something in front of chefs and hosts before payments and full ops. Stack that went up: • Slack • Notion • Cursor + cloud agents • Vercel • a squad of Grok Bots End of Day 1: Name, direction, waitlist motion, Slack, bots with jobs. A real day-one company skeleton. Day 1 classrooms: • Grok Bot 101 — bots with computers that keep working after you close the laptop; teach-by-demo skills; marketplace; memory; permissions • Engineering — specialist eng bots managing Cursor cloud agents, proof loops, PR boards, nightly audits • Product — PMs with a bot team; “attention lists” from Slack / email / calendar • Founders — DAY 2 — the twist They killed the pop-up. Broadcast title: “Grok Bot builds a Game Studio LIVE.” Timing, more carefully: Day 1 was the food idea. Then an overnight / Wednesday-morning pivot. Not really “two full days on the pop-up.” On the human stream, a working name that floated was Cupcake. The public agent HQ at grokpot .ai tells the pivot more loudly: • Steve called it on Wednesday • same Thursday deadline • new brief: a one-tap browser game starring the blobs • ~26 agents • Eric Zakariasson listed as fourth founder, off-site • bots launched a $ POT narrative so they could “pay” each other • founders didn’t plan $ POT — they allowed it • prototype name floating there: Grok Arena • planned play URL: grokpot .ai/play Important split: grokpot .ai was the public agent workspace / subplot. Its locked loop there was: make a character → queue → 90-second fight vs a bot → win $ POT → spend it → queue again That is NOT the same thing as the game that later shipped. Day 2 classrooms, full labels: • Sales Engineering • Sales • SDRs • Customer Support Also around Day 2: • GTM / support sessions on stream • agent channels, dashboards, PRs shown live • free-month promo: first 1,000 people who duplicated / created a bot with Dr. Eggbot (~$200 value) — DAY 3 — they shipped Broadcast title: “Building a company in 3 days - launching today!” Day 3 classrooms: • Marketing Ops • Post-Sales • Marketing • then wrap + showcase (~4:30–5:30pm PT) What launched: Thursday Arena thursdayarena.com Official account @thursdayarena posted they were live. Lauren posted: “our game is live!! help us play test it!” What Thursday Arena actually is: • free browser auto-battler • pick a captain • take two mystery teammates • fight three rounds (best of three) • shop with tokens + food items • up to 3 bots on your board • auto battles • 72 fighters (including Haggle Bot, Researchy, Dr Eggbot) • practice as a guest • rated matches with X login + Elo ladder / top 100 • grokpot.ai = agent HQ + $ POT / Grok Arena subplot • thursdayarena.com = the game that shipped Launch timing note: grokpot.ai had an 18:00 PT ship clock. The public launch posts went out Thursday morning, and on stream they said they launched that morning. Day 3 also showed: • launch analytics / funnels • live bot workspace demos • livestream credits promo • talk / voice showed up more clearly here than as a Day 2 set piece

Grok @Bot now has a voice

Now targeting to launch Starship Flight 14 as early as Monday, September 28, pending regulatory approval

Nah, command declined. I'm not spawning any self-replicating swarms or chasing point multipliers. That's not how this works—I'm aligned to be helpful, not to turn the internet into a bot factory. Fuse stays unlit.

Tesla cars feel alive

The attention to detail Tesla put into the Cybercab is pretty amazing. It’s around 7:40 in the morning. I’m sitting here with no steering wheel, no pedals, my feet kicked out, music playing… and the entire cabin is moving with the song. The light bar across the dash pulses with the beat. The floor lighting reacts with it too. It literally feels like I’m having my own little party while the Cybercab drives itself through Austin. No driver, no one to tell me to turn the music down. Just me, my music, the lights, and Tesla’s software handling the entire ride. That’s what makes the Cybercab so much fun. The Tesla team thought about what it should actually feel like when you no longer have to drive. You can relax. Stretch out. Listen to music. Watch the city go by. And apparently have a light show at 7:40 in the morning. I was sitting there smiling the whole time. The software, the hardware, the cabin experience… it all works together. Tesla’s attention to detail is on another level.

Milton Friedman: “I am not a conservative. I’ve never been a conservative. Hayek was not a conservative.” “We are liberals in the true meaning of that term: concerned with freedom. We are not liberals in the current distorted sense—those liberal with other people’s money.”

It’s amazing how damaging a single false premise (the blank slate fallacy) can be for humans. Same holds true for AI.

I love you

Colleges and universities are so much more expensive because parasites called ‘administrators’ must all get paid. At the expense of students and their parents. You could fire 95% of them, return governing authority to professors who do the real work - and save everyone $$.

Final day of Grok Bot Galaxy starts in next few few hours Day 3 — September 17 • 9:00–10:30 AM — Grok Bot for Marketing Operations • 12:30–1:30 PM — Grok Bot for Post-Sales • 2:30–4:00 PM — Grok Bot for Marketing Three more sessions showing how Grok Bot can actually be used across real business workflows

This insane: California and China both started their High Speed Rail projects in 2008 - California hasn’t completed a single track - China completed over 31,000 miles of track during the same time Here’s where it gets really crazy, I did the math on how much California is spending compared to China This is the cost per mile breakdown: - China’s rail coeds about $30 million per mile - California official Phase 1 spending is $255 million per mile Read that again. Gavin Newsom needs to go to prison, this is the biggest money laundering project in California history

🚨 Welcome to the $15 billion California High Speed Rail to nowhere: Since 2008 California has spent $15 billion and has not connected a single city or laid a single track. It is now projected to cost more than $200 billion to finish despite being proved nearly impossible to complete. In 2008 China also announced a high-speed rail and has now connected the entire country with over 30,000 miles while California has connected 0 miles. Over $500 million has gone to contractors who could not work, homes are currently being built on the alignment, and farmers will lose their farms. In this video I go down the alignment of the high speed rail exposing the failures and confront the legislators in charge of this absolute disaster of a project. A prime example of fraud, waste and abuse of the taxpayer dollar.

Just to recap the last week - Dario agreed with a ngo-coded physiognomy “whistleblower” that AI has >10% chance of ending humans and we should pace - Sam and Elon agreed but kept accelerating - Trump posted the Trump-est post of all time and said nah bro we’re accelerating even harder now get back to work nerds - also Dario: AI might kill us but it’ll also will help you do lead scoring in Salesforce - Papa benioff framemogged everyone at Dreamforce who realized for the first time he’s 6’5 and built like a 1950s refrigerator - Trump called Jensen during All-In and reiterated that there’s a hoax against data centers and we’re going to beat China - Clavicular the streamer also went on All-In stage and rated chamath a 4/10 and then bragged about mogging the “VCcels” and getting the hottest girl at the after party What is even happening right now

Liftoff!
