SpaceX is getting very close to building the first serious base on the Moon Starship changes the entire equation It is designed to deliver up to 100 tonnes directly to the lunar surface - enough to transport habitats, rovers, power systems, construction equipment and everything needed to begin building a permanent outpost Then the other pieces come together Tesla Optimus robots could eventually unload cargo, assemble structures, move equipment and perform dangerous construction work before large human crews arrive Building a base mostly with humans is a serious limitation Humans need life support, pressurized habitats, spacesuits, oxygen, food and protection just to survive and work on the lunar surface But with Tesla Optimus, that equation changes entirely Tesla’s experience with solar energy, batteries, autonomous vehicles and large-scale manufacturing can support the power and transportation systems required on the Moon SpaceX provides transportation Tesla provides energy, autonomy and robotics Starship provides the scale Suddenly building a serious base on the Moon becomes dramatically easier And once that infrastructure is ready, humans can stay for much longer periods and eventually even routine private lunar missions and tourism become possible Once the first permanent lunar outpost is established, its usefulness will compound rapidly.....supporting science, resource development, communications and deeper missions into space The Moon could become humanity’s first true outpost beyond Earth

At the core of everything Elon Musk is building is one mission: protect the future of humanity Protect humanity from hostile AI by building AI that is maximally truth-seeking, curious about humanity, highly values human civilization and ultimately benefits humanity as a whole Make humanity multi-planetary instead of leaving our entire civilization permanently dependent on one planet And ultimately ensure that the light of human consciousness not only survives....but also expands far into the future and across the stars

Grok Build v1.0.1 just landed with a serious upgrade, bringing safer multi-agent scaling, smarter session management, expanded video generation, stronger reliability, and major performance gains for large-scale development Release Notes: v1.0.1 Breaking Changes: • /rewind now only truncates conversation history instead of files as well and asks for confirmation by default. • Managed MCP servers are now only available through the gateway catalog. Features: • Subagent spawning is now bounded; wide fan-outs queue instead of exhausting file descriptors. • New `grok du` command shows disk usage of ~/.grok including worktrees and sessions. • Tools now report whether they only read data, enabling safer restricted agents and subagents. • Sandbox workspace sessions can now limit which bundled skills are advertised via caller config. • Renaming a session from the dashboard now starts with the current title prefilled for easy editing. • /usage, /session-info, and /context now open in a tabbed modal instead of adding text to the conversation. • grok trace exports now bundle memory trace files for easier debugging. • Session rename now enforces a 100-character limit, ghost-prefills the current title, and preserves manual titles across machines. • New `/rename --auto` command unpins a manual session title so automatic titling resumes. • Video generation from references now supports preset voices, single-image input, 1–15 s durations, and 4:3 / 3:4 aspect ratios. Bug Fixes: • Sandbox config entries ending in /** now correctly grant the parent directory instead of creating a literal ** subdirectory. • Failed alpha/enterprise updates now suggest the matching GROK_CHANNEL reinstall command. • On Apple Silicon, grok now installs the native arm64 build even from a Rosetta shell or x86_64 updater. • Skills that share names with built-in commands now appear alongside them in the slash menu with qualified names. • Notebook permission rules imported from Claude configs are now ignored with a warning instead of applying broadly. • Goal evaluation at round end no longer fails due to timeouts. • Tool timeouts no longer cause the agent to hang when child processes are stuck in D-state or hold pipes open. • Home and End keys now move to the start or end of the current logical line even when the prompt is wrapped. • Worktree sessions now correctly show their branch in the status bar. • Worktree sessions now keep their status correctly when switching directories or resuming. • Worktree status is no longer lost when opening the dashboard. • Recaps are now written in the same language as your conversation. • Plugin suggestions no longer flash incorrectly while typing. • Send Now now works during active goals without cancelling the goal. • Headless sessions now correctly wait for MCP servers when using delivery tools. • Non-interactive sessions (`grok -p`) no longer fail when the agent asks for user input or plan approval. • read_file errors for missing skills now suggest the correct registered path instead of a generic hint. • Session load and creation can no longer freeze forever when `.envrc` evaluation blocks. • Upgraded installs no longer silently run outdated platform skill instructions. • Deleting a session now properly stops and waits for any running subagents before wiping history. • Permission and plan-approval notification hooks no longer fire on auto-allowed tools. • Mid-turn steering sent with double-Enter or Ctrl+Enter now correctly tells the model it arrived while work was in progress. • Scrollback drag selection no longer gets stuck after the mouse button is released outside VS Code or Cursor terminals. • Video generation tools now show a clear error explaining ZDR storage requirements instead of silently disappearing. • Esc on the cancel-turn panel now closes the panel and keeps the current turn running as the shortcuts bar indicates. Performance: • Git status and diff operations no longer cause high CPU or memory use on large repositories. • Large git histories no longer cause excessive memory use or unresponsiveness. • History search no longer leaks background threads in long sessions with many subagents. • Resuming large sessions is now significantly faster and the UI no longer shows an incomplete transcript while replay is still applying.

Grok just got a really powerful new Voice connector You can now make Grok generate actual voice recordings from its work • Generate voice memos • Turn daily events into a personalized podcast • Create automations that deliver a daily audio brief • Available on iOS, Android + Web • No setup required And this gets much more interesting when you combine it with Grok’s research + automation capabilities Imagine telling Grok: “Every morning, find the most important things that happened overnight, summarize them and send me a voice memo” Grok can do the research, create the brief and turn the final result into audio you can listen to while driving, walking or working The example literally shows Grok summarizing the latest news from X and automatically generating a voice recording from it This is where Grok starts moving beyond a chatbot Instead of you constantly opening an app and asking for information, Grok can gather it, organize it, automate it and now SPEAK the final result back to you

Jensen Huang just told the incredible story of how Elon Musk became NVIDIA’s first customer for its AI supercomputer - when literally nobody else wanted it “When I announced this thing, nobody wanted to buy it. Not one purchase order Except for Elon In 2016, I personally boxed it up and delivered the first one to a tiny room in San Francisco - It was OpenAI" Elon backed AI when almost nobody else saw where it was going. He invested in its future long before it became obvious

In 2016, Jensen Huang personally delivered NVIDIA’s first DGX-1 AI supercomputer to Elon Musk and the OpenAI team One moment that shaped the entire AI era happened right here Jensen even signed it: “To Elon & the OpenAI Team! To the Future of Computing and AI” At the time, it was a powerful new machine being delivered to a most ambitious team-building AI Looking back now, it's insane how much has changed Jensen was building the compute infrastructure that would eventually power the AI revolution Elon was already pushing aggressively toward advanced AI before most of the world understood how transformative it could become, starting OpenAI as a nonprofit with the sole goal of making AI benefit the entire humanity Two people who went on the shape the entire AI era, standing together at one of its defining early moments

I built a way for Grok Build to control a real Mac...open apps, click UI, type, and move the mouse just like you would And I built the whole thing with Grok Build itself and optimised it to make the computer control as fast and efficient as possible Most computer-use agents rely heavily on: Screenshot → vision → figure out where to click → screenshot again → repeat that works but in my experience they're not really practical for everyday tasks....as they are slow and can take forever to complete even basic steps So I asked Grok Build to take a much faster approach with macOS Accessibility first to directly understand buttons, fields, menus and other UI elements....then only falls back to screenshots when they're actually needed Previously Grok Build could execute shell commands on your Mac Now, through this harness, it can actually interact with the Mac UI too Shell → Accessibility → mouse + keyboard → screenshots when needed Basically giving Grok Build hands for your Mac Open source:

The new Grok Image 2.0 is incredibly good Fun tip: use it to generate the UI design for literally anything you're trying to build Ask for multiple completely different design iterations until you find one you love Then just screenshot your favorite design → send it to Grok Build → ask it to recreate that UI as a working website or app Grok 4.5 is also ridiculously good at coding from images too So you can basically: Imagine the design with Grok Image 2.0→ choose your favorite → screenshot it → turn it into a working product with Grok Build This workflow is insanely useful

You can turn your iPhone's Action Button into a dedicated Grok AI assistant and it makes the experience so much better How to set it up: - Update the standalone Grok app - Open Settings - Go to Action Button - Select Shortcut - Search for Grok - Choose "Dictate to Grok" (or the available Grok voice action) Once enabled: Press and hold the Action Button → speak your prompt → swipe up on ✓ to send → Grok responds That's it Instead of unlocking your iPhone, finding Grok, opening a chat, and typing, you can just press one physical button, start talking, and swipe up when you're done It really feels like having Grok built directly into your iPhone Now, whenever you need Grok: Press → speak → send (just swipe up) No typing, no opening apps, no searching just one button and Grok is ready for you

Starlink is about to transform another massive airline group Lufthansa Group is launching its new Starlink-powered high-speed Wi-Fi on August 19, starting with a Lufthansa A320neo And this is just the beginning • ~850 aircraft • Every Lufthansa Group airline • Free for Miles & More members and Travel ID users • Available across ALL travel classes • Full fleet rollout targeted by 2029 Lufthansa says the connection will support video streaming, cloud-based work and other high-bandwidth applications in the air SWISS, Austrian Airlines and Brussels Airlines are next, followed by the rest of the Group This is what Starlink is doing to aviation Fast internet at 30,000 feet is going from an expensive, unreliable luxury to something passengers will simply expect to work Starlink is rapidly becoming core infrastructure for global aviation

Starlink is already delivering a huge increase in passenger satisfaction for airlines like United and Virgin Atlantic Both airlines are reporting sharp improvements in connectivity satisfaction after installing Starlink More than 18 million passengers have used Starlink on United since 2025, with device connections doubling And on Virgin Atlantic’s Starlink-equipped A350s, around 75% of passengers connect to Wi-Fi....compared with just 10% on other aircraft Starlink isn’t just improving internet in the sky....it’s improving the entire passenger experience

Strange people in the replies correcting me that it’s “venomous,” not “poisonous” Instead of asking why the fck you have a venomous snake in your house in the first place With that thing ready to bite your ass one day

Grok 4.5 just ranked #1# on Design Arena for Daily Usage - measuring the average unique users actually interacting with apps built by each model every day It's not just winning benchmarks....it's winning users And it's outperforming Claude Fable 5, Opus 4.8 and GPT-5.6 Sol by a ridiculous margin: 1. Grok 4.5 — +563.2% vs average 2. GLM 5.2 — +241.3% 3. GPT-5.6 Sol — +103.0% Claude Fable 5 — +39.2% Claude Opus 4.8 — +38.9% The interesting thing about this benchmark is that it's measuring whether REAL PEOPLE actually use the apps these models build And Grok 4.5 is absolutely dominating

Less than a year ago, Elon Musk explained the bigger vision for Starlink: “You should be able to have a Starlink, like you have an AT&T or T-Mobile or Verizon” One account for internet at home and connectivity directly to your phone Now that vision is starting to become real SpaceX has secured more spectrum, next-gen Starlink Mobile satellites are coming, and SpaceX is now openly aiming to become a full-scale mobile carrier The pieces are starting to come together
