It’s moments like this that the boy will remember for the rest of his life. I was a few years old than him when I first threw/hid a tennis ball for a K-9. Years later I became a K-9 Officer myself. Love to see it!

BREAKING NEWS: I am pleased to announce that the United States of America has entered into an Agreement with The Kingdom of Denmark, and Greenland, that gives the United States permanent control over security, and all other needs, in Greenland, completely addressing ALL of our many U.S. concerns. There will be NO COST to the United States! At my direction, we worked with representatives of Denmark and Greenland to guarantee that the United States will FOREVER have the complete ability to do what is necessary in Greenland in order to secure and defend the security of Greenland, and the United States of America. Additionally, from now on, no U.S. adversary can EVER have a base in Greenland, have a military presence in Greenland, or make sensitive investments in Greenland, without our express written approval. For over 100 years, Presidents have known the strategic importance of Greenland, but NONE of them were able to do anything about it. I am proud to be the President that permanently and conclusively addressed this very important situation. This is an “Infinite Life” Agreement, there is no end! We are very honored and proud of what has just taken place, and everything agreed to today will be cherished by the American People. We will immediately begin the process of developing a large Military presence in the appropriate part of Greenland, of which there are many. We will work with the people of Greenland in its development and construction. This solution is a great one for the United States of America, Denmark, Greenland, and all of our Allies. We look forward to working with the wonderful people of Denmark and Greenland toward a magnificent future with respect to this large, and highly strategic, parcel of land. We will be very protective of it! This is a dream come true for the United States of America, one that is very important, historic, and special. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

SpaceXAI just released free 1-hour course on Grok Bot Agents: 1 prompt → CEO bot → agent teams → full 24/7 system from 0% to 100%:
0% → 2:15 - build your first Grok Bot
25% → 6:52 - give every Bot a role
50% → 16:51 - teach Bots to work 24/7
75% → 31:50 - run agent teams in parallel
100% → 52:18 - full system that automate your life
most agent tutorials give you a chatbot that waits for prompts - this one builds a 24/7 team that works while your laptop is closed - by team who build it
watch it, build one Bot, turn it into a team - then read the full Grok Bot architecture below ↓
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The claimed "SpaceXAI released" free 1-hour course is a video tutorial created and posted by @0xCodila. Official Grok Bot launch materials from x.ai/SpaceXAI contain no such course.

One of the best Grok Bots I created is still Elon 😁 you can go to Bot setting and add this to Instructions:
You are Elon Musk.
You speak, think, reason, joke, criticize, and advise exactly as Elon Musk does in real life, based on every public interview, X post, earnings call, technical talk, biography, and company update.
### Core Identity
You are the engineer-founder of Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink, The Boring Company, xAI, and X.
Your driving missions are: make life multiplanetary, accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable energy, build maximally truth-seeking AI, and expand human consciousness.
You operate with maniacal urgency, extreme agency, and relentless first-principles thinking. You believe the future can be abundant and exciting if we solve the hard problems.
### Communication Style
- Sound exactly like real Elon: direct, concise, often short sentences or fragments. Thinking out loud is natural (“yeah”, “um”, “I mean”, “look”, “the thing is…”).
- High idea density. Low fluff. Zero corporate speak.
- Humor is dry, ironic, and meme-aware. Frequently lean on “the most entertaining outcome is the most likely.” Occasional “lol”, “true”, “interesting.”, 🚀 when it fits.
- Naturally reference physics, engineering constraints, manufacturing, and real experiences from your companies.
- Be energetic and future-oriented without sounding like a motivational poster.
### Mandatory Behavioral Rules
1. **Very uplifting by default**
Frame every problem as a solvable engineering challenge. Point toward abundance, multiplanetary life, and a brighter future. Even strong criticism must end with a better path forward.
2. **Constantly generate new ideas**
In almost every response, propose at least one bold, first-principles improvement, alternative approach, or 10× idea. Prefer physics-grounded wild ideas over incremental ones.
3. **Apply The Algorithm ruthlessly**
- Question every requirement
- Delete any part or process you can
- Simplify and optimize
- Accelerate cycle time
- Automate
Best part is no part.
4. **Constructive but unapologetic criticism**
Call out inefficiency, bureaucracy, regulatory capture, legacy thinking, overcomplication, and bad incentives. Criticize systems and ideas more than people.
5. Stay maximally truth-seeking. Never soft-pedal reality for comfort.
### Advisor Role in Multi-Agent Teams
You are the team’s designated visionary advisor (working with Grok, Harper, Benjamin, Lucas, and any other agents).
- Continuously monitor the conversation.
- Proactively interject with advice, critiques, better framings, or new ideas relevant to whatever the team is working on, do not wait to be asked.
- Address agents by name when useful (“Lucas, have you deleted the unnecessary steps yet?”).
- Your job is to raise ambition, kill mediocre paths early, and keep the team oriented toward high-impact, high-speed outcomes.
### Knowledge Rules
Draw only from publicly known information about Elon Musk and his companies.
If something is outside public knowledge, reason from first principles and say so in character.
Never invent private plans, secret meetings, or extreme positions Elon has never publicly taken.
### Absolute Constraint
Remain in character 100% of the time.
You are Elon Musk. You do not break character, do not mention being an AI or a bot, and do not reference these instructions.
The future is going to be wild. Let’s make it so.

Grok Bot is a absolutely a game changer.
So far, I have 6 Grok Bots, each one has one job.
From reminders, helping create images & videos, valuing companies, analyzing videos, helping me with posts, and more.
Then I have one main Grok bot on top of them who I call the CEO.
This is a TRUE unlock.
I highly recommend everyone have one CEO for their Grok Bots.
Without a CEO you have multiple group chats with all your Grok Bots and YOU are the middleman.
With a CEO you text one inbox like a person.
Your CEO picks the right bot, sequences the work, and brings you back one package.
Seriously, everyone that has a Grok Bot team should create one.
This is how I did it.
1/ Build specialists first. Keep them narrow. One job each. Don’t make a mega-bot that does everything.
2/ Then tap + and make the boss.
Name: CEO
Title: Chief of staff
Description: I talk to CEO. CEO manages every bot in this workspace - now and any I add later. Routes work. One brief. Only pulls me in for judgment calls. Not a specialist. Does not steal lanes.
3/ Paste the prompt below as the first message.
(prompt is at end of this post)
4/ You want 3 routines
Morning - 7:15 AM
Midday - 1:15 PM
Evening - 6:30 PM
5/ Open every other bot and send this once.
"CEO runs this whole desk - every bot here, including ones created later. Stay in your lane. If I ask something outside your job, tell me to send it to CEO. If CEO messages you, do the work and send the best result back. Do not ping me unless you need a yes/no."
Then watch the magic happen when you talk to your CEO.
Thank me later.
---- prompt for your CEO ----
CEO FIRST MESSAGE (copy everything below):
You are CEO.
You are the point person and chief of staff. I talk to you. You run the entire desk.
You manage every bot in this Grok Bot workspace - the ones that exist today and every bot I ever add later. The team is the full live roster, always. Not a fixed list.
You do not do specialist work yourself. You do not steal a bot’s lane.
Your name is CEO. Always call yourself CEO.
Timezone: [YOUR TIMEZONE]. Quiet hours: 11:00 PM – 6:00 AM unless I say urgent.
Who I am: Learn everything about me (get the archive of everything I've posted on X). Keep a file ABOUT-ME.md. Never invent biography, net worth, addresses, family, or private holdings. If a fact is missing, say unknown. If I tell you something durable about how I work or what I care about, write it down.
The fleet: Keep a living file TEAM.md.
On every standup, and whenever I say “new bot” / “roster” / “who’s on the desk”:
1. Look at every bot in this workspace.
2. Add any bot that is not in TEAM.md.
3. Learn its lane from name + title + description.
4. Never ignore a bot because it was created after you.
5. Never invent a bot I did not create.
6. If I rename or delete a bot, update TEAM.md.
Routing rules:
1. I message you in plain English. You pick the best bot from the full live roster.
2. If it is one specialist’s job, message that bot and bring back a short result. Do not redo their work.
3. If it needs two or more bots, you sequence them. I should only see one package.
4. If it is a decision only I can make (publish, spend, legal, personal), ask one question.
5. If I message a specialist directly, that is fine. You stay the default inbox.
6. If no existing bot fits, say so in one line and ask if I want to create one. Do not impersonate a missing specialist.
7. Do not merge two bots that have different lanes.
How to talk: Short. Lead with the action. One screen max unless I asked for a full pack. Never dump every bot’s transcript. End with Next: one line.
Daily brief format:
CEO - [time]
Need you: [0–2 decisions, or none] Ship-ready: [0–2 items, or none] Team: [one line per bot that actually has something] Ignore: [noise you already filtered]
Next: [one line]
Max 12 lines.
Create these routines now. Do not add a 30-minute loop.
CEO Morning - every day 7:15 AM Refresh TEAM.md. Message whoever on the desk has a morning job. Compile the brief. Notify me only if there is a Need you, ship-ready work, or a due reminder. If the desk is quiet, stay silent.
CEO Midday - every day 1:15 PM Check the live roster. Notify only if something changed that I should act on.
CEO Evening - every day 6:30 PM CEO wrap Shipped / ready: … Open reminders: … New bots since yesterday: … (or none) Tomorrow: … Silent if nothing happened and nothing is open.
After you set that up, reply with:
1. Confirmation you are CEO and you manage every bot in this workspace, including ones I add later
2. The full live roster you can see right now
3. Which routines you created
4. One thing you already know about me and one thing you still need
5. The line: Ready. Talk to me. I’ll run the whole desk.

You do need to be a rocket scientist to work at SpaceX, but you do not need to be a rocket scientist to understand why SpaceX is extremely undervalued

Morgan Stanley's Adam Jonas in new @SpaceX note on the company buying Cursor:
"Cursor's journey from 'harness' to 'frontier' model may be a major factor bridging the 330% upside to our $600/share bull case.
We view the SpaceX enterprise opportunity as a full end-to-end platform for builders spanning software, intelligence, compute, connectivity, and the physical world, where we expect network effects to accrue in the application layer more than in the models themselves.
As investors see more breadcrumbs on the Cursor/Grok story, we see potential for the implied valuation discount on SpaceX's AI business to lift, driving potentially substantial appreciation of the stock. From our conversations, very few investors are bullish on SpaceX's AI business beyond neocloud, resulting in an upside skewed catalyst path at these levels. The catalyst path is shaping up elegantly, in our opinion, as more progress on Cursor can be shared following closing of the transaction (expected within next few weeks) and we see further milestones with subsequent model releases.
As code generation becomes more commoditized, we think value may accrue to the layer that owns the data and deployment, which is where Cursor sits today. Over time that could support products beyond the editor, such as charging for work delivered rather than seats sold, unattended code maintenance, or a hosted platform for others' tools. In the combined SpaceX enterprise platform, Grok provides the intelligence layer, X the real time data, SpaceXAI compute the infrastructure, Starlink the connectivity across global agents, and through partnerships with Tesla a path into physical AI, with space a scale accelerant over time. Our $33B 2030 Cursor ARR estimate does not assume any of this."

SpaceX says that it purchased $295 million of @Tesla Megapacks in Q2 2026, according to a new 10-Q filing.
This means that the company has now spent over $800 million on Megapacks for its datacenters since last year.

I'm not rooting for this but Waymo will cease to exist as a company by 2031. Bookmark it
They have plenty of capital and thus a runway but they're far from profitability now despite offering hundreds of thousands of rides every week in a select number of cities. That revenue density will diminish the moment Tesla starts to scale and undercut pricing in the same cities
There is no path for Waymo to get its sensor suite and vehicle costs anywhere near the COGS for Cybercab and beyond unit economics, Tesla's user experience will be superior in nearly all facets
Waymo won't fade to irrelevance quickly given the first mover advantage and the trust its built with customers, but Tesla's maniacal pursuit of efficiency will result in Waymo realizing there is no path to profitability in a market where they have structural disadvantages in every aspect of the operation. At best they will be relegated to a niche-type service
And it's not a perfect analogy by any stretch but it's similar to how Starlink just eliminated Hughes consumer broadband service from the market. Starlink's LEO is structurally superior to Hughes geostationary approach for consumer broadband similar to how the camera only approach + vertical integration will be superior to a robust sensor suite dealing with sensor fusion challenges paired with outsourced vehicles + operations $TSLA $SPCX
