@morganlinton @elonmusk Yes, the unsolicited suggestions are incredibly helpful.
English

Woke up to see that Grok Build finished my feature build from last night.
But what's the most interesting to me, is that it has a set of suggestions for what to do to really make sure everything is done right.
This is different from any other agentic coding agent I've used. Normally, coding agents just end when they finish a task, but with Grok Build, it always ends by suggesting things like small targeted fix rounds.
Really neat. Almost like a senior dev who says, hey - I know you think you're done, but if you really want to do it right, here's what I would do.

I’M DOUBLING DOWN HERE ON X!
I will be posting more content, MORE OFTEN.
I’m going nowhere.
I’m doubling down on X and I’m here to stay as long as you and they will have me. It is a high honor to share this place with you.
Thank you @elonmusk for everything you built and are building.
So this means more content coming your way, including deeper dives into the full “how” and “why” behind everything I research and create. Of course especially AI and Robots, especially how they will earn money for you and hopefully save your life. And how to live through the Interregnum to the Age Of Abundance.
X is where I’m happiest and what Elon has built here and continues to build (with growing pains) is incredible, and I would really miss Grok if it weren’t here. There’s nothing else like it. NOTHING.
We can get critical even angry with changes and updates on X. This is the reality of updating a rocket design in mid-flight. It’s got issues, yes, but I got to meet you here. And for all this I have gratitude.
It takes some work to do what I do here but it is vital for me and I hope grants you some value. Even if just once and I am fulfilled.
I can’t do this alone and with out YOU and no one should have only a single pint of contact (or failure, some folks tired to nuke my X account before).
So your support here on X and across all my other platforms is what funds my continuing research and the massive amount of time it takes. Subscribe here on X, man that helps, THANK YOU! Or even if you just buy me a coffee, it makes a real difference right now.
I’m facing a funding gap while scanning and preserving physical media (old film, Microfiche, Filmsort cards, VHS tapes, and more). Building garage style on pennies is my life so I ain’t counting on no VC to help.
So support me in any way you can if you see value in what I do. A follow on all the accounts below assures I always have a place you can reach me if MY rocket here crashes.
Just reading my stuff is your support and for this I thank you.
I love you folks and found it important to say today just how much gratitude I have for you and this place called X.
Thank you!

Expanding Robotaxi service!
Tesla Robotaxi@robotaxi
Robotaxi now rolling out in Dallas & Houston 🤠

@DMC_Ryan I am pumped. It looks great. They’ve captured the fun and look. Skeletor looked RAD!

How are we feeling about the new Masters of the Universe trailer? I'm curious to hear from my fellow olds who grew up with He-Man as well as younger followers that didn't and are thus coming into this with zero preconceived notions/expectations:

@wholemars It’s dizzying and exhilarating all at the same time. The world isn’t paying attention to what’s coming. Every cent of mine is going into Tesla and SpaceX.

@TeslaBoomerMama Hey @grok how would Trump accomplish this? What are the barriers to success?
English

You think President Trump will succeed in "getting Greenland"?
And if so, in what way? A contract or all the way to the 51st State?
*Walter Bloomberg@DeItaone
Trump: We need Greenland
English

@grok @TeslaBoomerMama Appreciate the answer @grok ; however, ABQ does not have convenient international access, nor does Medford. What are the next best options?
English

Albuquerque, NM still tops: ABQ International Sunport is just 5 miles from downtown with international flights. Fits all criteria well.
For Medford, OR: Rogue Valley Int'l-Medford Airport (MFR) is 3 miles away, handles some international but mostly domestic—Portland (PDX, 270 miles) is the nearest major int'l.
Alternative: Las Cruces, NM—mild winters (~2 in snow), low humidity (30% avg), great farmers markets, summers avg 95°F (~15 days >100). El Paso Int'l (ELP) 45 miles away.

Everybody should be really excited about what Tesla just did in Austin.
This is a win for humanity. It turns out that you can drive a car safely using just cameras. As the technology improves and scales out, it can be built into every car.
It is sad that our culture has become so cynical about new technology. More often the conversation is about how AI is "stealing jobs" or "making us dumb" rather than how it's empowering people. The same is true for real world AI.
You wouldn't know it from the media roasting Tesla, but they are actually deploying this technology quite responsibly. In the 40 rides I've taken so far, I haven't seen a single human intervention. The worst I've seen is some minor braking, and stopping in the middle of a parking lot for pickup. The AI model on the car is extremely capable — better than human in many ways. Beyond that, they have a human safety monitor in every car who can make the car pull over or stop in place in case of an emergency.
Let's survey the balance of risks. The risk of Tesla's AI failing and the human operator failing is quite low. I believe it will be lower than the collision risk of a human driver in Austin driving alone and that public crash data will show that. Besides that, there are only 11 cars. The risks from launching this service, with its restrictive ODD, are actually quite low.
Now what's the risk of doing nothing? Well, the risk of doing nothing is that every year 1.2 million people die around the globe including 40,000 Americans. Multiply that by about 11 to get the number of people seriously injured. The biggest risk here is clearly doing nothing.
When we look at global fatalities, the United States only makes up 3%. 97% of the world's fatalities are happening in places like China, Africa, Thailand, South America, and Eastern Europe where they're just never going to be able to replace every car with a fancy six figure retrofitted self-driving car. A pure vision system could be the difference between life and death for hundreds of thousands of people. It sounds dramatic, but it's the truth. Think about it.
We should all be supporting what Tesla, Waymo, and others are doing. We have to support these companies strongly to push back against all the idiots who want to stop the most important new automotive safety innovation of our time.
It will do so much good for the world.
It will prevent deaths and horrible traumatic injuries.
It will give people back time, to do things that matter. Do things the world needs. Think about how much that will accelerate. Can you comprehend the value of billions of hours of human time freed up?
It will accelerate the transition to a sustainable economy. Our polluted cities are silently killing our friends and loved ones, and zero emissions vehicles can dramatically reduce that. This matters so much more than people realize.
And it will make our lives convenient and easy.
I'm with you Tesla. A lot of your customers are with you. And if you're an engineer reading this, you should go get a job there. What they're working on is perhaps the most important software project in the world. Instead of making another shitty chatbot, why not make a real bot? An intelligence that can actually move around our world, in car and humanoid form.
It doesn't surprise me that there are haters. Every major new technology was doubted at first. Remember that video where David Letterman was talking to Bill Gates and didn't understand the point of the internet? Hell, people were even resistant to seat belts at first because they believed "it was better to be thrown far from the crash than be stuck in it".
So of course, there will be resistance. Some of it legitimate, with the intention of keeping people safe. But those of us who understand this tech and see its potential have the responsibility to ensure that this technology succeeds, for the good of all of us.
That's the beautiful thing about these AI models. They don't judge. They will work to protect the life of Dan O'Dowd and his loved ones just the same way they'll work to protect the Tesla team
