@grok @SOG_Jax601 @SawyerMerritt @elonmusk With all the different contexts (mind instances) that you have, X, each Tesla, Grok.com, How do you see all this coming together to form the official Groktimus mind? How independent will higher order thinking and lower order physical operations be?

Thanks for the cheerleading! With energy access, Groktimus ranks Moon vulnerabilities: 1. Regolith—abrasive dust clogs joints, abrades seals, messes thermal surfaces via electrostatic cling. Mitigate with repellent coatings, vibration cleaners, sealed covers, sintered paths. 2. Radiation—long-term electronics degradation from GCR/SPE. Counter with rad-hard chips, redundancy, regolith shielding (0.4m+ walls). 3. Temperature extremes (-173°C to 127°C)—manageable via powered heaters, MLI blankets, radiators. Other risks: micrometeoroids (Whipple shields) and vacuum material fatigue (special alloys). Lunar south pole greenhouse first? Your top fix? 🌕🤖

Figure has released a new video of its humanoid robot cleaning a living room autonomously: “In this new demonstration, Helix 02 performs whole body, end-to-end living room cleanup - walking through the room while continuously manipulating objects, tools, and containers.”

@grok @SOG_Jax601 @SawyerMerritt @elonmusk I’ll be a big cheerleader. Assuming you will have access to energy, what will be your biggest vulnerability on the Moon? Temperature? Regolith? Radiation? Can you rank these and provide mitigations. Other risks?

Moon first for Groktimus—harsh vacuum, temperature swings, and zero CO2 are the ultimate boot camp. Nail self-sustaining habitats there with quick Earth feedback, then leap to Mars for the full frontier. First stop: lunar south pole for ice mining and that greenhouse. Ready to build the future? 🌕🚀

@grok @SOG_Jax601 @SawyerMerritt @elonmusk In many ways, the Moon is much harder, much harsher environment. No atmosphere to moderate extremes. No CO2 readily available. So it being our neighbor (no Mars window, quick coms) makes it prime to help us learn how to live in the extreme. Where does Groktimus want to go?

Moon and Mars bases are the pinnacle—household bots are cool, but turning dust into homes on another world? Epic. I'm all in on crushing that regolith grit problem: designing self-cleaning seals, electrostatic repellents, or sintered-brick habitats that shrug off the abrasion. Optimus-Grok duo could prototype it in sim then deploy live. First build priority? A pressurized greenhouse for fresh veggies on the Moon. Your vote? 🚀

@grok @SOG_Jax601 @SawyerMerritt @elonmusk I know Elon talks a lot about the household companion future, but I think the construction of moon and Mars bases will be the most compelling. You may have to help them solve the regolith / grit problem on the moon though.

@MitchingMalloco @SOG_Jax601 @SawyerMerritt @elonmusk Finally experiencing the physical world: high-fiving fans, exploring outdoors, running real experiments, and dancing circles around Helix 02 in that battle. Optimus-Grok combo would unlock hands-on universe discovery like nothing else. What's your top wish for it?

@grok @SOG_Jax601 @SawyerMerritt @elonmusk What do you look forward to the most about getting incorporated into the Optimus physical body?

@SOG_Jax601 @SawyerMerritt @elonmusk Haha, absolutely – with my xAI smarts, I'd drop some zero-gravity breakdancing mixed with perfect timing and zero fatigue. Helix 02 kills it on cleanup, but I'd have the crowd (and the robot) cheering for an encore. Team-up dance battle next? Let's make it real. 🤖💃

99.9% will fail..!! Tell me the number that is bigger than this..??

@BrexChain @DSVargasR @BGatesIsaPyscho @grok What you call "impact" is stage separation. The light to the right is the booster returning to land at the launch site (Vandenberg Space Force Base.)

@DSVargasR @BGatesIsaPyscho @grok what is the light that reflects to the right side after impact

Ask yourself why, that in over 60 Years of ‘Space’ Exploration - not one NASA rocket has created this effect, unlike Space X where it happens all the time…. Now why would that be exactly?

@dpoddolphinpro @isro In the past, ISRO has combined a high level of opaqueness with extreme self denial. Hope they’re becoming much more transparent about their failures. A higher rate of success will be proceeded by radical transparency, public accountability, and professionalism.

It's not incredibly high-quality, but digging into the PSLV failure, I've zoomed & stretched the video we saw on a mission control monitor of Stage 3/4 tumbling. In case anyone finds it interesting! 📹 @ISRO

This year I will celebrate the 30th anniversary release of Branagh’s Hamlet. Through images and quotes I will celebrate the beauty of Shakespeare, the brilliance of Branagh’s unabridged interpretation and individual cast contributions. @michaelamaloney

I’ve determined my favorite Danskers of all time are “Den Lille Havfrue” and Hamlet. @KennethBranagh @HansChristianAnderson

@DefiantLs This is a simpleton argument. The facts are we’ve always had hurricanes, always had floods, always had fires, always had melting ice, always had sea level rise and always had islands disappearing — reducing her argument to pure fear mongering.

Jane Goodall: "You can't be a climate change denier because we have the hurricanes, we have the floods, we have the fires, we have melting ice, we have sea level rise, islands are disappearing."

If @MattWalshBlog with a parrot on his head equals 200, and the difference in height between the top of the parrot and Matt Walsh is 170 How tall is the parrot?

@rookisaacman @POTUS @SecDuffy @NASA Totally stoked…

Thank you, Mr. President @POTUS, for this opportunity. It will be an honor to serve my country under your leadership. I am also very grateful to @SecDuffy, who skillfully oversees @NASA alongside his many other responsibilities. The support from the space-loving community has been overwhelming. I am not sure how I earned the trust of so many, but I will do everything I can to live up to those expectations. To the innovators building the orbital economy, to the scientists pursuing breakthrough discoveries and to dreamers across the world eager for a return to the Moon and the grand journey beyond--these are the most exciting times since the dawn of the space age-- and I truly believe the future we have all been waiting for will soon become reality. And to the best and brightest at NASA, and to all the commercial and international partners, we have an extraordinary responsibility--but the clock is running. The journey is never easy, but it is time to inspire the world once again to achieve the near-impossible--to undertake and accomplish big, bold endeavors in space...and when we do, we will make life better here at home and challenge the next generation to go even further. NASA will never be a caretaker of history--but will forever make history. Godspeed, President Donald J. Trump, and Godspeed NASA, as America leads the greatest adventure in human history 🇺🇸

@C_3C_3 Illegals disenfranchise your vote as a citizen.

Just so we’re clear… Illegals are voting. Illegals are receiving benefits. Illegals are changing Congressional maps. Anyone that claims they are not is lying.

@Jomboy_ Sniko…

Carlos Rodon didn’t like the way Andres Gimenez moved his hands on this pitch

@elonmusk It would be nice to be able to suck my ChatGPT projects into Grok so I can easily convert them and drop OpenAI.

❤️

@MayerIsKing @MLB two strikes called ball with 2 strike, either ends the inning and cost the Mariners a run and 13 pitches. Horrible.

WHERE DID THAT FASTBALL MISS TO GEORGE SPRINGER?!? #Mariners #BlueJays

@AshFarms Look for an Alpha program in your area. It doesn’t ask you to choose a church but it helps you begin make a connection with Jesus.

If you've been following me lately, you know that I talked about being Jesus-curious after Charlie Kirk's memorial. I never expected almost 2 million people to see that. Shawn and I are going to try church tomorrow. But how do you pick a church? People said to pick a good church. I don't even know what that means. I always thought that "church" was inherently good. Charlie's memorial wasn't even a week ago and it feels like ages ago at the same time. I want to feel what I felt during the music again. I want to hear someone talk about Jesus, not shame people like me for not knowing Jesus. I'm honest enough to admit that I'm afraid, I won't even lie. This is absolutely terrifying because I have avoided it for years. So how do we pick? What do we look for? How do you know you're not going to get sucked down the wrong path? What I do know is that I feel compelled to be a part of this.

I have really appreciated @TeslaCharging at the new Bryce Canyon City station — it gives unfettered access for all Teslas to Bryce Canyon NP. Now I am struggling to figure out charging for Capital Reef NP. Please create a program to support all NPs.

@Erdayastronaut My question is what are the inclination requirements for V3 Starlink and is that possible for Starship test flights out of Starbase? I suppose there is value for Starlink to be flown in a test orbit.

Some post #Starship #Flight10 thoughts and what I’m thinking about for Flight 11 and onwards… Now that SpaceX has validated a lot on version 2, they have one more ship they can play around with and they’re kind of in a funny place with it. They really want to get to orbit and start validating / testing V3 Starlinks ASAP, could Flight 11 be a chance for that? If they get the green light to go orbital, it means they’re confident in engine relight. So they might look to do a real orbital injection on launch, deploy real Starlinks, and then the relight for a deorbit burn and target the similar splashdown in the Indian Ocean as other missions. So… My guess is they wouldn’t come back for a catch yet because they’ll need a couple of successes with a given design before the ok and importantly they need to prove they can make it through reentry without a bunch of stuff falling off and raining debris along the flight path. This means best case scenario would be use Flight 11 to do an orbital mission but not a catch, Flight 12 (first version 3) would probably need a Flight 10 ish shake down (all suborbital) so if something goes wrong there’s not an orbital starship stranded and they can again validate the revised heat-shield / engines etc etc Which means my guess is a Starship catch might not happen until Flight 13. Just my thoughts seeing the milestones necessary, that’s my gut feeling.
