One of the most important moments in history. @SpaceX and @xai have joined forces to accelerate humanity. Very proud of both teams. This is just the beginning.

Texas is the future. Delaware is the past.

California citizens deserve better. It’s time for a change and time for our government to work to ensure our resources are used responsibly.

AI is going to drain a lot of moats.

Macrohard or Digital Optimus is a joint xAI-Tesla project, coming as part of Tesla’s investment agreement with xAI. Grok is the master conductor/navigator with deep understanding of the world to direct digital Optimus, which is processing and actioning the past 5 secs of real-time computer screen video and keyboard/mouse actions. Grok is like a much more advanced and sophisticated version of turn-by-turn navigation software. You can think of it as Digital Optimus AI being System 1 (instinctive part of the mind) and Grok being System 2. (thinking part of the mind). This will run very competitively on the super low cost Tesla AI4 ($650) paired with relatively frugal use of the much more expensive xAI Nvidia hardware. And it will be the only real-time smart AI system. This is a big deal. In principle, it is capable of emulating the function of entire companies. That is why the program is called MACROHARD, a funny reference to Microsoft. No other company can yet do this.

Some heroes wear capes — Chief Aaron Edwards wears blue.

Emil Michael on why he left Silicon Valley to join the Department of War: "Most Patriots figure out a way to give back — and there's lots of ways to give back." "I'm an immigrant. My first language was Arabic. I moved to this country. I get to Silicon Valley... I've been able to participate and build some of those interesting companies... and it was the right time in my life to say, okay, this is the way I'm going to serve my country." "I want to have my kids see it so that they can see that our system doesn't come for free. People — they have to have builders, people who care, people who sacrifice to do it." "I hope everyone else who's in the startup world finds their own moment to do that, if not in business, but after, in the right point in your career and all that, because we need more people to do that because we used to have government service as an honored profession." "We can't forget that we need Patriots to come do these kinds of things every now and again." @emilmichael @USWREMichael @DoWCTO @davidu

Overnight, on President Trump’s orders, the Department of War commenced OPERATION EPIC FURY — the most lethal, most complex, and most-precision aerial operation in history. The Iranian regime had their chance, yet refused to make a deal — and now they are suffering the consequences. For almost fifty years, Iran has targeted and killed Americans, always seeking the world’s most powerful weapons to further their radical cause. Last night, unlike any previous president, President Trump began dealing with this cancer. We will not tolerate powerful missiles targeting the American people. Those missiles will be destroyed, along with Iran’s missile production. The Iranian navy will be destroyed. And, as President Trump has said his entire life, Iran will never have a nuclear weapon. The United States did not start this conflict, but we will finish it. If you kill or threaten Americans anywhere in the world — as Iran has — then we will hunt you down, and we will kill you. Our warriors are the best in the world, and they are fully unleashed to achieve our objectives. May God’s providence protect them in this vital mission.

Enabling the feature temporarily for users located in: • Egypt • Iran • Israel • Saudi Arabia • Turkey • Iraq • Yemen • Syria • Jordan • UAE • Lebanon • Oman • Kuwait • Qatar • Bahrain • Cyprus

We’re rolling out an experimental new feature for everyone monitoring the situation right now. In the US and Canada on iOS, you’ll be able to filter your timeline by topic — by tapping on the For You tab.

@TobyPhln @xai @elonmusk xAI is xAI in so many ways because of your contributions big and small. I’m incredibly grateful for everything you’ve done. You created a future that would not have existed without your efforts.

Three years, thousands of PRs, and a million jokes. Today was my last day @xai. To the team: you rock, no one burns the midnight oil better. To @elonmusk, thanks for taking me on board. I've learnt more about execution, speed, and product perfectionism than I could ever have imagined. Thanks for everything. My next priorities: sleep for more than 8h, write down all the things I've learnt (I have a list), and then think about what I want to do next. @gork wdyt?

MrBeast reveals once enough airlines start using Starlink, he’ll only book flights that have it “Oh this flight has an extra hour layover? I don’t care, there’s Starlink. I’ll sit in the back of the plane if it gives me Starlink. I really don’t care, Starlink is amazing” “Most people listening probably haven’t used it but for reference when I filmed in Antarctica the only way to get any signal was Starlink. We had this four hour drive in the middle of Africa, you put Starlink on top of the car and you get perfect signal the entire ride” “And I think what Elon Musk is accomplishing with SpaceX, there’s no doubt it’s going to fundamentally progress humanity in unfathomable ways. In our lifetime, someone’s going to go to Mars thanks to SpaceX, I really do believe that”

Tunneling in 3 states today - Nevada, Texas and Tennessee

This is the slowest progress will ever be again. By a lot. Let that sink in.

we will never have a functioning society until the government unions are dismantled, the NGOs are defunded, and our tax dollars are directed, entirely, to actual public services.

There are still too many Californians who hope for the best instead of fighting all out. Make no mistake, 2026 is the year that will determine whether we lose our state to incompetence, suicidal empathy, corruption, waste, and socialist capture. Fight now or lose.

In your lifetime, you will witness a company that projects free speech and intelligence from the heavens. And it is inevitable.

It’s so obvious. @elonmusk and @DOGE were absolutely correct about the fraud, waste, and abuse. Open Sourcing data to the public is a genius move. Power to the people.

Since xAI was formed just 30 months ago, the small and talented team has made remarkable progress. The future has never looked more exciting!

@jimmybajimmyba @elonmusk You’re one of a kind @jimmybajimmyba - @xai wouldn’t be where it is without your efforts.

Last day at xAI. xAI's mission is push humanity up the Kardashev tech tree. Grateful to have helped cofound at the start. And enormous thanks to @elonmusk for bringing us together on this incredible journey. So proud of what the xAI team has done and will continue to stay close as a friend of the team. Thank you all for the grind together. The people and camaraderie are the real treasures at this place. We are heading to an age of 100x productivity with the right tools. Recursive self improvement loops likely go live in the next 12mo. It’s time to recalibrate my gradient on the big picture. 2026 is gonna be insane and likely the busiest (and most consequential) year for the future of our species.
