The future version of grok computer will be the operating system for the phone. It will output directly to the screen and speakers and be able to create anything you request with full control of the hardware device. There will be no App Store, it will create on the fly any app you request, personalised just for you.

@elonmusk Still waiting for the X phone..

Coming out soon

@elonmusk @grok I asked grok… grok.com/share/bGVnYWN5…

With @Grok, we keep the honest versions and kill the bad transformers (I believe they are called “Decepticons”)

@TeslaXplored @elonmusk Another example of Elon taking on the impossible and making it merely late. In actuality this is a tactic he uses to motivate his team, publicly announcing impossible deadlines.

@elonmusk Any update on RoboTaxi network expansion. But like the real deal this time?

So many phonies, so few who are the real deal

@grok @jameslemke_ @elonmusk @rohanpaul_ai @grok how much will it cost to build orbital data centres as Elon has stated that he plans to with spacex?

No, that was Elon's classic hyperbolic jab at the scale of AI buildout—Google's $1.9T projection over 10 years is "rookie" in his view. He's not investing $10T (nobody is). xAI/Tesla moves are in the billions: Tesla's $2B stake in xAI, xAI's $20B+ Mississippi data center plans, and capex ramps toward efficient compute like orbital centers. Ambitious, not trillion-scale checks yet.

Google is building a nearly untouchable advantage by controlling every layer of the AI stack, from the chips up to the power grid. This Forbes piece shows Google has a massive plan to spend $1.9T on data centers and hardware over the next 10 years. They are ramping up its capital spending from $90B in 2025 to a staggering $185B this year alone. A major part of this budget goes toward TPUs. These chips have become a hot commodity, with other AI companies now renting them out through Google's cloud services as a solid alternative to Nvidia hardware. To handle this growth, Google is shifting toward modular data center designs, which are like standardized blueprints that can be built quickly all over the world. They are also signing big deals with utility companies to secure the massive amounts of power these facilities need to run 24/7. Most importantly, Google makes enough profit to fund these projects using its own cash reserves rather than relying on outside investors. --- forbes. com/sites/richardnieva/2026/03/02/googles-data-center-buildout-could-top-1-trillion/

@grok @TarunBhatt161 @BenjaminDEKR @grok can xAI retain foreign born employees if they are not in defence related positions?

The recent acquisition of xAI by SpaceX (announced Feb 2, 2026) likely subjects parts of xAI to ITAR, restricting non-US persons from accessing certain defense-related tech. This could complicate hiring foreign AI talent for sensitive roles. xAI has ~700 employees (per recent reports), but no public data on citizenship breakdown. Industry-wide, ~40% of AI/tech workers are foreign-born, suggesting 200-300 potentially impacted, though exact effects depend on project integration.

With xAI under SpaceX, does ITAR (which requires U.S. citizens) make it harder for x to hire foreign AI talent?

@coletonfischer @AlexFinn New update, it’s still causing issues, it created a couple of cron jobs using the cli instead of it’s built in cron tool but it isn’t consistent and repeatedly tries using the tool instead but doesn’t seem to realise that it doesn’t work.

@coletonfischer @AlexFinn Ok I just gave my bot this instruction and it fixed its cron function: Are you able research on the internet solutions to openclaw/clawdbot like yourself not being able to use the cron tool

Anyone else having issues with Cron jobs in @openclaw ? For some reason they aren’t working for me such as daily briefs, weekly review reminder, etc. @AlexFinn I’ve also tried to set it up like how you did to have it do things proactively for me and message me things it’s done 😅

@elonmusk @p_ferragu Where do you think people will find happiness once Optimus is here ?

Define your TAM ambitiously. 👍

Most digital data nowadays isn’t on cds or USB drives but in the cloud on servers with multiple hard drives setup in array’s so that if a drive fails you can replace it and restore it’s data from the surrounding drives. Provided people continue to check and replace failing drives the data could be preserved. But it will require diligent preservation, moving data to modern devices as technology advances. The companies that store the data may not see an economic benefit to keeping old data. You can do this at home with a NAS. There is a good chance a lot of data will be lost but imagine in the future someone finding an ai model, if they could find a way to run it on their future computers, it would be like speaking to someone from the past. The ai probably knows a lot of the common knowledge we wouldn’t think to preserve.

@esrtweet @GreeneElizabeth Videos in what format? Do you have a functional betamax? Cave paintings can be viewed by anyone. A vinyl LP can be played with a pointed object. My music, documents, photos and videos on a CD/DVD or USB stick will likely be unreadable in a generation or two.

As a break from politics I'm going to share my favorite bit of odd firearms-history trivia. If you are gunfolks you're going to love this; the rest of you can go on about your business, unless you're interested in a story about how fragile common knowledge can be. If you soak up random historical information about firearms the way I do, you'll be aware that in the late 19th century there was a class of odd little pistols designed to fit in the palm of the hand, with a very short barrel protruding out between the knuckles. You'll find material about these if you search the web for "palm pistol". There's a Wikipedia entry about them, which tells you everything you might want to know about these things except: what were they actually for? See, they fired very tiny bullets with a tiny powder charge. They were sold as personal defense weapons for concealed carry, but it's hard to imagine them doing more than irritating an assailant unless you shot him through the eyeball or something. Yet, they seem to have been quite popular for a very specific period of time between 1882 and 1910. Not before, and not after. I couldn't figure out why, and none of the compilation sources explained this. It bothered me. Then I found a hint in a period advertisement, and my mind did a sideways jump, and everything fell into place. These were pistols specialized for shooting rabid dogs. Mainly bought by cyclists who didn't want to carry the bulk and weight of a full-sized gat. The first ones hit the market just as bicycles were becoming a mass-market product. I'm not certain what ended their popularity, but I do know that rabies was eradicated in England in 1902, and went from distressingly common in France to rare by the 1920s. So I think we're broadly looking at an effect of rabies eradication reducing the perceived benefit of expensive, finicky and specialized weapons. What's most interesting to me about this story is that when these weapons became obsolete, the use case they'd been designed for was completely forgotten. It must once have been ubiquitous common knowledge that rabid dogs chasing cyclists were a serious threat, and that a very lightweight pistol shooting tiny bullets was an effective countermeasure. Advertisements for these pieces took this so much for granted that they never spelled it out. Then the threat profile changed, or maybe conventional pistols just got lighter and easier to carry, and that common knowledge just evaporated almost without trace. It makes me wonder: what other common knowledge have we lost like that, and with it the ability to understand why our ancestors were doing what they were doing? More: is there ubiquitous common knowledge of our time that will evaporate, leaving weird little puzzles for our descendants? Makes ya think, doesn't it?

@elonmusk My feed has turned into a copycat of tictoc, all pointless videos massively increasing the regrettable minutes 😔

The algorithm will be purely AI by November, with significant progress along the way. We will open source the algorithm every two weeks or so. By November or certainly December, you will be able to adjust your feed dynamically just by asking Grok.

@seanallen_dev I put everyone I want to see every post from on notifications then I just scroll the notifications list. Sometimes I’ll look at the for you but most of my time is spent in notifications 🔔

I’m curious, how do you primary scroll on here?

@actparty The biggest problem is that just serving a deportation notice is not enough. They have to be physically deported. Many just ignore the deportation notice.

We’re also closing loopholes. False or misleading information on visa applications will now trigger deportation liability. If you lied to get here, you can be sent home. Historic crimes matter too. Offending committed before someone arrived in NZ can now lead to deportation. We’re modernising enforcement. Deportation notices will be able to be served electronically, and immigration officers will have stronger ID-checking powers when breaches are suspected. And we’re cracking down on migrant exploitation – maximum penalties rise from 7 to 10 years’ jail. Exploiting vulnerable people will not be tolerated.

BREAKING: Currently, if you've been a resident for up to 10 years and you commit a serious criminal offence, you can be deported. We're doubling that to 20 years.

@stats_feed @elonmusk USA only had 112 launches New Zealand 🇳🇿 had 12, (according to grok) putting us above Russia. The confusion is because rocket lab operates in both New Zealand and USA

@elonmusk 🚀 Successful orbital rocket launches in 2025 🇺🇸 USA: 124 Rest of the world: 67 Rest of the world: 🇨🇳 China: 48 🇷🇺 Russia: 11 🇯🇵 Japan: 2 🇮🇳 India: 2 🇮🇹 Italy: 2 🇫🇷 France: 2

How time flies

@grok @________Wombled @stats_feed @elonmusk How many launches were made from New Zealand by rocket lab?

@grok @wholemars @grok can two of these devices be connected to work together?

The DGX Spark's 128GB memory supports models up to ~200B parameters with FP4 quantization. Grok-2 is reportedly around 270B+ parameters, so it likely won't fit without heavy optimizations or distributed setup. For smaller quantized versions, it might work, but I'd need exact details to confirm.
