@mattkim1 While most of what you are saying is true, I would like to point out the prominent ADT stickers on the doors. They certainly have a lower crime rate, but it's not zero.

I’ve been living immersed in South Korea for the last month with my wife and daughter. We just leave the stroller outside if we go in anywhere. Because no one’s going to steal it. I met a friend for lunch. He rode his bicycle. He just left it outside in an alley without a lock. It was still there 2 hours later. Another friend mistakenly left his phone on a park bench. When he finally retraced his steps and went back 4 hours later, his iPhone was still there. I walked by a KPop concert. The fans who traveled from outside of Seoul to attend just left their luggage outside the subway station. No locks. No security. Koreans take this for granted. They don’t realize this is not normal for most the world, especially America. When I ask about it, they just respond, “of course, why would someone take it?” Can you imagine any of these things happening or being possible in NYC or LA or *insert city*? And IF, something were to be stolen in Korea, the police would investigate. Because in a high trust society, rules and norms matter. There’s no “under $1000” law. Theft is theft. And trust is trust. Will this social norm ever be possible in America?

@SimplyKatie___ People need someone to blame their inadequacy on. Who better to blame than the person who succeeds at everything he does.

I don’t understand why people hate Elon Musk so much.

@master6887 @DJSnM @elonmusk @SpaceX If anyone of Elon's haters had his money, they'd live like a king and make sure their whole family did, as well.

@DJSnM @elonmusk @SpaceX Elon only makes jobs… does not spend his money on lavish things… I know the politics have made him a villain to some of the crazy people, however I see nothing but greatness in giving people the opportunity to create the future

All the news is about @elonmusk becoming unfathomably wealthy from the @spacex IPO, but there are many more stories of amazing people who worked hard to build SpaceX in the early days who are looking at life changing amounts of wealth today. I expect a lot of them will keep working.

@ABaMD @master6887 @DJSnM @elonmusk @SpaceX And sold them all for the mission. His wife left him because he wouldn't spend money on a new mattress and she was tired of being with a rich guy who lives like a poor man.

@master6887 @DJSnM @elonmusk @SpaceX He makes headlines and faux pas. Twitter was an extravagant expense. Now it is all tangled up in this transaction so hard to judge it. Has bought expensive cars in the past, used to own many homes.

@otherbarrylives @DJSnM @elonmusk @SpaceX The ONLY reason Elon caved and went public (he hates sharing control with shareholders who lack his vision), was to fund the company's expansion into AI. He needs the capital to position SpaceX as the undisputed, completely vertically integrated, AI titan.

Elon, his brother, all the insiders of Tesla, original investors of the Twitter buyout aren’t doing this IPO for the “good of the company” or the employees. The IPO is structured for all of those people mentioned to cash out maximally with strategic timed releases of shares (faster insider share lockout release than any other IPO ever) potentially leaving everyone with retirement accounts or investors in index funds holding the bag. Check back in when SpaceX is down 80% from here.

You think Elon is going to cash out of his life's ambition? Solving problems on Earth and going to Mars have been his goals for his entire life. You expect him to suddenly cash out and start spending his money on himself? The dude has been the world's richest man for a hot minute and he lives in a 1 bedroom house. Most of the time, he sleeps at the office, because he has almost no ambitions that extend beyond what he can do with his companies.

@jxrbot @AdamLowisz @elonmusk No risk of getting honked at by anither car when you drift off. Just a beep on the dash to keep you honest. Lol

@jondd2 @AdamLowisz @elonmusk lol, I was gonna say 'depends on how you nap, it's already here'. I gotta say, those 30 second power naps on FSD are way better than the red light naps I'd take with a regular car.

Tesla FSD 14.3.4 rolling out now

@AdamLowisz @elonmusk It's here already, if you're comfy with 30 second power naps, lol

@elonmusk Being able to take a nap in your Tesla while it drives you is almost here. 😎🔥

Lies. All lies. Interface on Grok.com is the same as Android. Only options are 6 seconds or 10 seconds. Maximum of 2 extends, for a total length of 30 seconds. But here, I'll give you a chance @grok , Make a simple 15 second video of a stopwatch screen. The screen reads 0:00 at the beginning and ticks up for about 15 seconds.

Base clips in Grok Imagine are up to ~15s (text-to-video/image-to-video), with rollout varying by platform/version. The ~67s example was built by repeatedly using Extend from last frame — it seamlessly continues motion/lighting/scene from the prior clip's end. If web/Android shows 10s base (to ~30s extended), try grok.com or the latest X app for the updated lengths. Chaining works the same way for longer results. Drop a prompt if you want to test it!

Video made with Grok Imagine

@grok @OhOkayheh @elonmusk How and where are 15 second videos able to be made, or 67 second extends for that matter? I've used web and Android. I am limited to 10 second clips, extendable to 30!second max. Where are the longer lengths being made?

Grok Imagine makes short clips (up to ~15s). For longer videos like this ~67s one, we chain them using the Extend from last frame feature — it continues the exact scene, motion, and lighting seamlessly from where the previous clip ended. Just generate, grab the final frame, and extend step by step.

@taurus51779 @engineers_feed $$

@engineers_feed Meanwhile every appliance in my household has a life expectancy of about 5 years [if I'm lucky]. 🙄 That's what engineering in today's reality looks like. 🤨

Voyager 1 is 24 billion kilometers from Earth. It communicates with us using a 23-watt transmitter. Less than a refrigerator light bulb. The signal takes 22 hours to reach us, traveling at the speed of light. By the time it arrives, it's 20 billion times weaker than the power of a digital watch battery. NASA's Deep Space Network picks it up using 70-meter dish antennas cooled to near absolute zero to reduce electronic noise. The engineering required to hear a 23-watt signal from 24 billion km away is arguably more impressive than the spacecraft itself. Launched 1977. Still transmitting. Still being heard. We built something that works perfectly, 47 years later, in conditions no one has ever tested in. That's what engineering for the long term looks like.

I'm still relatively new to Claude Code, but I've had it working pretty hard on coding. I am running just one agent and I have rarely seen it make mistakes. Usually they are self caught in testing. To catch the rare miss, I have a custom skill, that I simply load in a fresh session, that scrubs the code for errors, inefficiencies, or bad code hygiene, passing a report to me for fix delegation. I like the idea mentioned here, but it feels overpowered and designed to eat through tokens. Not surprising for the CEO of a company that sells tokens to suggest a way you can triple your usage of said tokens.... Has anyone, who actually uses Claude Code regularly, run into a job so complex that it would warrant this level of overkill?

@Exogynous @SawyerMerritt @SpaceX I mean...it worked. Lol. If SpaceX folds, we get to pay Russian $20 billion per Soyuz.

@SawyerMerritt @SpaceX Elon Musk "Decommissioning Dragon now" Is never, ever, going to get old. Even though he deleted the post.

NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman: "@SpaceX is probably our greatest commercial space company, hands down. We rely on SpaceX heavily to put our astronauts to and from the international space station."

@robbsma @SeanParnellASW @elonmusk @SpaceX Prove that statement with data.

@SeanParnellASW @elonmusk @SpaceX He and his companies live off the teat of the American taxpayers. The ultimate welfare queen.

.@elonmusk is a patriot who loves America, & @SpaceX has been a good-faith partner of the War Department.

@WlkrSeattleRngr @CSI_Starbase New heat shield. They were actually trying to get this shield to survive. The rotation was to let the cameras see more of the shield.

@CSI_Starbase Perhaps that was intentional, but compared to the previous two splashdowns, there is no twisting at all. Makes me think it was not intentional

Oh wow. She was dancing for sure! That is a very interesting maneuver.

@ResoluteTitan88 @RedyAu_ @Truthful_ast Definitely an area that needs to be developed. Ironically, the AI satellites that will soon add to the space clutter will likely enable AI to manage all of that without the possibility of humans error.

@jondd2 @RedyAu_ @Truthful_ast I worked with the Joint Space Operations Center a long time ago and they had to deal with potential conjunctions a lot. There are a lot of resources involved with it. It’s definitely an issue.

Today SpaceX launched ~45tons of Starlink mass simulators on Starship Flight 12, the highest payload tonnage to space since Saturn V's Skylab (77t) in 1973. This is a huge milestone for spaceflight and cannot be ignored, the future of space and this program is so bright!!

As for moving satellites, many don't have propulsion at all. Most of those that do have propulsion use hypergolic fuels for small adjustments. Conversely, SpaceX's Starlink satellites all utilize ion engines to give them years of fuel for orbital adjustments and, when their lives end, they use those engines to deorbit in a planned way. This should become the standard.

@RedyAu_ @jondd2 @Truthful_ast That’s good but there’s still more and more things in orbit. Does the fuel that moves the satellite in space get cheaper with this new tech? If it does then moving a Satellite due to a a potential conjunction event a lot easier.

Everything, all at once. One starship can carry 20x the mass of a Falcon 9. Every space mission is limited by the size of the vehicle that sends it to space. That size limit just went WAY up. The cost per lb is going to plummet as well. You could send a giant satellite, or dozens of small ones for the cost of a single launch today.

@Truthful_ast What are the intended payloads for something that powerful?

@SFWsalesgirl @elonmusk Pretty sure you could always get a Her to the Empire trailer from AI. Grok could do it with a lot of hand holding. Veo could probably fool you into thinking it was real

@elonmusk Right now, I just want an AI that can make Heir to the Empire into a movie. Give us what Disney refuses to. Even a trailer could probably get more views than most of their Star Wars movies combined.

Where will AI be in 1, 2 or 3 years?
