🇪🇸 STARLINK USAGE SKYROCKETED DURING SPANISH BLACKOUTS Spain and Portugal’s power went poof last week - and mobile networks totally flopped. But guess what didn’t crash? Elon’s space WiFi. Starlink use jumped 35% over average, and 60% higher in Spain by Tuesday as phone networks struggled to recover. Even with the rush, Starlink stayed online - while tens of thousands of mobile antennas went dark. Turns out, space internet > powerless cell towers. Source: Financial Times

🚨GROK 3 SENDS USAGE SOARING – 10X SPIKE IN DOWNLOADS Elon’s xAI just dropped Grok 3, and the numbers are wild. Mobile downloads exploded 10X the week it launched, with daily U.S. users up 260%. Even Grok’s web app visits shot from 189K to over 900K a day. Globally? 4.5 million hits daily. Some of that boom came from expanding into Europe, Latin America, and Southeast Asia, but Grok 3 clearly grabbed attention fast. Source: TechCrunch

🚨 ROBOTS CAN NOW HELP WITH SURGERY — AND THEY’RE ACTUALLY GOOD AT IT Medtronic tested its Hugo robot in 137 real surgeries — fixing prostates, kidneys, and bladders — and the results were better than doctors expected. Complication rates were super low: just 3.7% for prostate surgeries, 1.9% for kidney surgeries, and 17.9% for bladder surgeries, all beating safety goals from years of research. The robot got a 98.5% success rate, way above the 85% goal — meaning it didn’t just pass the test, it basically set the curve. Out of 137 surgeries, only 2 needed to switch back to regular surgery — 1 because of a robot glitch, and 1 because of a tricky patient case. This doesn’t mean robots are replacing surgeons tomorrow, but it does mean your next doctor might have a very expensive metal sidekick. Source: RTTNews

🇺🇸 REP. MIKE LAWLER: DOGE IS DOING A TURBOCHARGED FORENSIC AUDIT OF THE ENTIRE GOVT “We’re spending $86 trillion over 10 years—and we’re $36 trillion in debt. That’s $1T a year just on interest. DOGE is digging through every department. This is a real audit. It’s been decades since this kind of accountability happened. This is not sustainable.” Source: CNN @elonmusk @RepMikeLawler
