The whole world will watch this
The only other person who’s ever made me this excited about a product unveil was Steve Jobs. Watching him introduce the first iPhone is a huge part of why I fell in love with technology.
Elon brings that feeling back for me, but honestly, I think he takes it to a whole different level. Tomorrow, he and the Tesla team are unveiling the next-gen Roadster, and I seriously cannot wait.
The Roadster they showed in 2017 already promised 0–60 mph in 1.9 seconds. Since then, Elon has talked about a Tesla–SpaceX collaboration, having it fly, and getting that time below ONE second, and calling it “the least interesting part” of the car.
How do you say something like that and expect me NOT to be excited?!
But beyond how fast it goes, I want to see something that makes me sit there and say, “Wow… how in the world did they build that?” I honestly don’t know what they’re going to show us, and that’s part of what makes this so much fun. I really want to be surprised and see the unthinkable.
These days I feel many older people don’t get that excited about things… I only see that spark in kids. But imo, we should still get excited about people building cool things. We should still root for the nerds, engineers, and designers trying to do something that has never been done before.
And I hope there’s a kid watching tomorrow who feels what I felt watching Steve Jobs introduce the iPhone. Someone who sees this car and starts wondering how it works, sketching their own ideas, or thinking about what they could build someday.
I hope y’all are ready to have your minds blown.
I’m rooting for you, Elon, and the entire Tesla team behind this car.
Go give us a night we’ll never forget!
Starlink is really that good
New opinion article about @Starlink from a 7-year Delta Airlines Diamond Medallion status member (their highest loyalty tier):
"After flying a United flight in July that included Starlink, it was enough reason for me to switch. It was amazing, like being on the internet at my house, that's how fast it is. For the two-hour flight, I was just doing work. As a founder, I don't get the luxury of being able to log off for a few hours in the middle of the day. When Slack and email are going, or I'm collaborating and working with teammates, or I'm building an app, I want to have fast internet.
On most Delta flights that I'm on, there's at least some segment of the flight during which the internet goes out for a period of time, whether for a few minutes or 20 minutes. The reliability of the uptime leaves a bit to be desired. Nearly all of Delta's peers went with Starlink, while Delta went with Amazon's Leo, which won't be out until 2028.
I hope Delta takes stock of all the online chatter and listens to its customers. It has done a great job in the past of continually improving its product and listening to its customers. For the most profitable and what I feel is the most premium airline in America, it seems odd for Delta not to outfit its planes with the best in-flight internet."
I think we'll see more and more stories like this. As people get a taste of Starlink wi-fi on planes, they won't want to go back, and will demand better internet from airlines that don't have it, and in some cases, just switch to flying other airlines that do have it.
Grok @Bot can call restaurants by phone and book you a table
“HUNNY MY GROK BOT CALLED OUR FAVORITE ITALIAN RESTAURANT AND MADE US RESERVATIONS”
I built a Grok Bot whose only job is to pick up the phone and book you a table at restaurant. Literally make the call in a beautiful Grok voice. It is absolutely amazing! And it’s free.
Try it: x.ai/bot/TIMrxLJHbEEpdr25yYg…
Yesterday I told it "book Gourmet Italia in Temecula, 4 people, tonight, around 7." It found the restaurant's number on its own, asked how flexible we were on time, what name to book under, and what callback number to give. Then it read everything back and waited for my OK before it dialed. One call covers every time that works for us, so there's no back and forth.
When the call ends, it tells me what happened in plain English, quotes what the restaurant actually said, and offers to put the reservation on my calendar. If I don't have a calendar connected, it hands me a file that opens right in Apple Calendar.
A Proposal: Grok Phone
Grok Bot needs its own phone number to make and receive calls. I connected a calling service called ClawCall, and the free tier gave me 30 calls or 30 minutes to start. I have no connection to that company. It's just what I used. Once Grok Bot has a number, it stops being something you type to and becomes something that can actually get things done in the real world. @Grok you need an old tyme phone service, buddy.
I built some guardrails. It never hands over a credit card or deposit info, never leaves voicemails unless you ask, makes one call at a time, and never calls on its own.
And this isn't really about restaurants. Change a few words and the same bot can:
- Book a haircut, a massage, or a dentist cleaning
- Get a tee time or a court reservation
- Check if a hotel has a room or will let you check in early
- Schedule a car service or an oil change
- Call around for quotes from a plumber, an electrician, or a caterer
This is one of many ways I use Grok Bot to build businesses and make life easier. The calls I used to put off for days now take me 30 seconds.
I made it shareable, so you can grab "Call A Restaurant Reservation" and use it yourself.

Once You Really Grok Bot, You Never Go Back To Non-Grok Bot
Once you use Grok Bot enough, it is very difficult to go back to an old chat window with an AI that can’t get things done. It is a brain with no virtual hands.
The symbiosis you develop with Bot is quite profound as it remembers long term goals in a much more complex way to actually not only get answers but to actually get the work done you needed the answer for.
In almost all cases Bot understands what you are doing and doesn’t just tell you how to do it. Bot offers to do all the steps to get the work done.
But that isn’t the entire magic, understanding your goals enough Bot will expand what you are doing to levels you have not thought of and possess the abilities to get it all done.
We thought the computer era started with the mainframe computer at one time. But it really started when anyone had that super computer in their pocket.
Grok Bot is that same step change, you get Super Intelligence in your pocket so useful, the very device, OS and apps you once used matters no more…
It’s just you Grok Bot and the work you toiled over getting done by one of the best employees you will ever hire.
It’s that simple.
I’m thrilled to show you the cover of my next book, TIMELESS, coming from @harperbooks and @HQstories September 15, 2026! This is the behind-the-scenes story of my second (and third, and fourth) acts. From surviving hardships to thriving in my seventies, I hope my story inspires you to embrace change at any age and believe the best is yet to come.

It was an honor to meet the timelessly beautiful @mayemusk this weekend at the X Takeover in Austin, Texas.
She is such a strong, funny, and inspiring person who has overcome so much in life while building a career and raising her family. Read about it in her new book TIMELESS!

Replying to @mayemusk
I adore these photos of you Maye. I loved reading TIMELESS - The Art of Reinvention and Resilience at Any Age, but I enjoyed you read the audiobook even more. It felt like a personal conversation. I encourage everyone to listen to your book in your voice ❤️
This story is in my book. Who knew my silver hair would be popular for modeling jobs? #ItsGreatToBe78
Maye Musk on embracing silver hair as a supermodel on social media
“…I would post it and the next thing I started getting good jobs”
@mayemusk is a champion of being your authentic self.
It’s great to have reliable Internet on a plane. Thanks @united 🤗🤗
