Musk pushes back on reports that Tesla staff were told to switch to Grok for internal AI work. He says Tesla and SpaceX were asked to “try out” Grok 4.5, not adopt it regardless of results, and should keep using other AI models if they perform better. The original reporting cited lower token costs as the driver.

@elonmusk The underrated part of driver assistance isn’t speed or convenience, it’s independence. Roughly 1 in 5 Americans over 65 no longer drives, and losing that mobility is one of the biggest quality-of-life drops in aging. Tech that keeps people connected to their lives matters.

SpaceX fired all 33 engines on its newest Super Heavy booster this week, a full-duration static fire of the V3 design. V3 is the rocket built to carry the next generation of Starlink satellites, the same ones behind this week’s 100,000-satellite FCC filing. The hardware and the paperwork are moving together.

$SPCX ended the week at $145.93 its lowest close since the IPO, despite joining the Nasdaq-100 and picking up a Strong Buy rating this week. Falling on good news usually means one thing: the post-IPO reset isn’t finished. Next catalyst: Aug 6 earnings.

Musk just told Tesla staff to switch to Grok “when possible,” per The Information. The pitch is cost: Grok 4.5 runs about $0.13 per task vs $1.57 for the leading rival roughly 12x cheaper. Musk admits it’s not the strongest model, but says most work doesn’t need one. For $SPCX, this is what vertical integration looks like: Musk’s other companies becoming Grok’s first big customers.

Grok 4.5 launched Wednesday. Two days later it’s already the top-scoring orchestrator model on Perplexity’s benchmark beating OpenAI and Anthropic models at half the cost of some rivals. AI is the segment analysts call the swing variable in the $SPCX story. Early third-party results like this are what that thesis needs.

Elon Musk postponed his CNBC interview today minutes before it was set to air at noon ET. It would have been his first TV appearance since SpaceX went public on June 12. Topics on the table: $SPCX, Tesla, and the new Grok 4.5 model. No rescheduled time yet. Wall Street will be watching for one.

Grok is closing the loop on real-world use cases
Thibault Jaigu@ThibaultJaigu

@OpenAI released 3 new models yesterday and we immediately tested it on our internal benchmark. All three outperforming gpt-5.5 but @SpaceXAI still the clear winner with Grok-4.5

Elon Musk goes live on CNBC today at 12pm ET. On the agenda: the SpaceX IPO and the Grok 4.5 launch his first major TV interview since $SPCX started trading and the stock fell roughly 30% from its peak. Anything he says about the August 6 lockup or AI spending will move this stock. Watch closely.
