i sometimes wonder where we'd be if Steve Jobs were still here and the obvious truth is that he would've contributed significantly to the current evolution of intelligence & technology for everyone, but especially so for our country and his own companies like Apple. the same is true of Elon and I'm saying this because there are a lot of ppl trying to tear Elon down, but in reality he is doing more than anyone to make the world better for humanity—enabling free speech via X (and nearly losing everything to do it), electric cars (& robots soon) to cut our dependence on gas & reduce air pollution via Tesla, supplying internet everywhere even 3rd world countries via Starlink, space & multiplanetary exploration via SpaceX, advancing intelligence via SpaceXSI, drastically improving the lives of people with disabilities via Neuralink, all while employing hundreds of thousands of ppl in our country. regardless of your politics, anyone can agree these are very good net positives for the world. i've had the honor of working for him these past four years and can confirm I've personally seen him countless times working at 1-2-even 3am, meeting with us to understand core problems from first principles and enabling us to make improvements all around. I learned in 4 years what would've taken me a decade, along with the ability to adapt extremely quickly while optimizing for maximum usefulness & product experience. I am grateful because I've seen him work firsthand when he could be on a super yacht, but instead he is working harder than ever to solve existential problems for all of us. Elon is our modern day Thomas Edison—America and all of humanity should be proud. thank you, E. ❤️🇺🇸

An email from noreply@x.ai landed in my inbox, passed SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and had the blue check Something felt off, so I asked @bot to do a security review. It found a hidden phishing link, explained why every safety check passed, wrote a report to xAI - including proposed fix!

The moat to me has always been the team; there is nothing more rewarding than a small group of exceptional individuals all marching towards one collective goal with high agency and speed, going through all the ups and down together—to ultimately achieving greatness.

Now everyone can use Grok Bot to monitor the situation on X on any topic for free! There are also new premium features coming to optimize your own follower graph (& others), alongside all activities tied to any X account. This was one of my favorite final projects at X. Big team ship @bot & @XDevelopers 🚢

In my first month and a half at @X, rebuilding the Developer Exhibit has been one of the most exciting projects I've taken on, and am super excited to launch some new updates today! If you're already building on the @X API, I can't wait to see what you showcase here. If you're new to building with X, check out the listings here for inspiration! 🚀🚀🚀

You don't have to commit your entire life to optimism, just try it on for a week. Start thinking "what if it all worked out?" and "what a time to be alive!". Then compare your state of mind to the week before filled with pessimism and doomer nonsense.

Dear friends - I need your help today. My new book is being published this morning. It contains 50 life-changing ideas that impacted me personally, professionally, or financially. I promise if you read the book, you will still be thinking about these ideas for months to come. Order a copy here: I don't have a large, traditional publisher. I am not doing a bunch of mainstream media interviews to promote the book. Instead, I am counting on the power of the internet, plus the high-quality nature of the book, to kickstart viral word-of-mouth. If you have ever received value from anything I have done, please consider buying a physical copy or getting the audiobook. I appreciate your support in advance. Get the book:

After 7 years, I’ve made the difficult decision to leave X. Over the years, I’ve helped rebuild the Business and Product from the ground up with a fraction of the original Twitter team, across many significant changes and many long nights of war rooms—scaling many multiples in product revenue, contributing to the early days of xAI, establishing our existing and future partners, supporting the early days of @bot with X, and reinvigorating our Developer Platform as the Everything API for the next generation of agents and developers. Thank you @elonmusk for giving me a chance to thrive as an extreme operator, @jack for hiring me, and our incredible @X engineers and team, who will carry this mission forward as the global town square.🫡❤️

One of the most compelling parts about working at an ElonCo was the agility to pivot to whatever the most important problem was. One day I said: I wasn’t hired to go after spam, but a tsunami is coming and I’m going to drop everything to focus on that. The org is so flat and agile that your title is basically meaningless. Anyone can sound the alarm about a problem and solve it themselves—or rally the team to join them. This is how startups work but it’s very hard to make it work in a larger company.
