At XPONENTIAL 2026 in Detroit, AUVSI President Michael Robbins delivered the clearest signal yet of where the drone industry stands: The hard part is no longer proving drones work. The hard part is now manufacturing them at scale, integrating them into critical systems, and building supply chains that don't depend on adversaries. $AUVSI $DRNZ

Elon Musk: xAI is the best at AI hardware. “The elements that define success for an AI company are going to be one, the talent, two, the hardware. How much AI hardware can you bring to bear? That's actually a very big deal. And we've shown that we're the best at doing that at xAI. And then third, unique access to data. And for that we've got the 𝕏 system, formerly the Twitter system, which is by far the best source of real time data in the world. Those are some pretty significant assets.” Source: Elon Musk Fireside Chat at Ron Baron's 32nd Baron Investment Conference 2025, November 14, 2025

Today is my last day at xAI. I joined xAI a year ago and had the pleasure of leading the search and factuality post-training team. Over time, we developed so many recipe and engineering co-optimizations, making Grok the best AI for search and real-time agent. I am also particularly proud of working with a small group of talented people delivering the recent iterations of the instant mode of Grok - the one I personally liked and used the most. My thanks to all the friends and teammates for their support and help over the past year. They are among the brightest minds I’ve met in my career. I am sure the team will continue the mission to make better Grok and understand the universe.

Today is my last day at xAI. It's been an intense, memorable year building in the frontier — I'm grateful to have worked with and learned from such talented and supportive colleagues. The journey itself is the reward. So long, and thanks for all the fish! 🐬
