The reality is that most people unthinkingly believe whatever their political tribe tells them to believe. Like an NPC in a video game.
Elon is correct. Also, NPCs will loose their mind over Elon's post because they were told what to believe and did NOT look into the facts of the case and prefer to be guided by emotions, not truth & reason. I posted about this on Patreon at the start of 2025. Here's a clip:

Starlink would help the least served in India, especially in rural areas
India needs @Starlink • 11,256 of India’s listed villages still had no 4G coverage as of May 2026. • India had 1.093 billion internet subscriptions in March 2026, but only 440.87 million were rural. Rural subscription density was 48.31 per 100 people, compared with 126.80 in urban India. • BharatNet has laid more than 850,000 route-km of fibre and made about 221,000 Gram Panchayats service-ready. Yet its Points of Presence were reported operational at only 80,472 GPs as of June 2026. The government itself says the remaining mobile gaps are caused by difficult terrain, low commercial viability and infrastructure constraints. This is exactly where Starlink can help by reaching remote villages, mountains, islands and disaster-hit areas. Direct-to-device connectivity could also help phones stay connected beyond tower coverage. The Indian government should complete the remaining clearances, allocate spectrum and clear Starlink for commercial launch ASAP. India has already waited far too long.

Yes there is! I only use a credit card (everything) because if I get scammed, it's on the card co. Ever call and say "someone got my debit card # and took my money"...they'll basically tell you that you are shit out of luck. Pay the card off every month.

My membership is pending. I was scammed out of 800.00 last week. In trying to fix it someone else came on and acted as a Elon and set up crypto on my checking account and overdraft my account. I feel nieve that I fell for it 4 times. I am just trustworthy. @LawOfficeDept

Grok @Bot can make videos explaining complex concepts
I asked Grok @bot to explain rank, spectral power, and optimization in geometrical terms, and compare them with Adams, Muons, and Aurora. Below is the result. If you have any suggestions on how to make this video better and more intuitive, please comment below. My Grok @bot will pick them up and incorporate your ideas.

Grok @Bot can earn you money
My Grok Bot just paid its own salary. Which is completely insane. I gave it one job... Win back churned customers. It: → Found everyone who left in the last 6 months → Emailed them → Won several back → Collected their feedback Then overnight... → Analysed why they left → Built a 5-step plan to improve the community It has already covered its cost. This is getting ridiculous.

Much appreciated!
Grok 4.6 is now available on Amazon Bedrock. Thanks to @elonmusk and the @spacexai team for the partnership. Looking forward to what customers build with this.

Grok Build puts you in charge of your computer X.ai/build
Whenever you buy a new Windows laptop, one of the first things you should do is run Grok Build Windows and many laptop manufacturers ship PCs with a surprising amount of stuff you probably never asked for: • Trial antivirus and OEM apps • Preinstalled games and partner software • Ads, recommendations, news and widgets • Unnecessary startup/background apps • Temporary files and other clutter Instead of spending an hour digging through Windows settings and wondering what is safe to remove, let Grok Build audit the whole machine, figure out what is unnecessary and clean it up for you Just make sure it shows you the plan first and leaves drivers, security features and hardware-critical software alone Start with: “Audit this Windows PC and safely clean up everything unnecessary. Remove unwanted bloatware, trial software and preinstalled games, disable ads, recommendations, news/widgets and unnecessary startup/background apps, and clean temporary files. Do not touch drivers, Windows security, updates or anything required for the laptop’s hardware. Show me the plan first, then make the approved changes” A clean Windows install makes a brand-new laptop so much nicer to use

Looks like we will probably catch the ship with the tower in a few months. If there had been a tower out to sea where we practiced landing the ship, it would have been caught. First reflight of the ship will be either end of this year or early next. That will be a fork in the road of history for consciousness reaching the stars.
Elon Musk admitted he is not sure this one is possible. Musk: “This absorbs more of my mental energy than probably any other single thing. But it is so preposterously difficult that there are times where I wonder whether we can actually do this.” He does not talk like this. Mars gets a date. Robotaxis get a date. This gets a maybe. Stern: “What is so hard about it for just a normal person to understand?” His answer comes down to a single number. Musk: “In order to make a rocket fully reusable, you’ve got to basically create a rocket that can do about 4%, if not more than 4%, of its lift-off mass to orbit, which hasn’t happened before.” Four percent. Everything else standing on that pad is fuel, tank, and engine. The landing gear, the heat shield, the extra structure that survives reentry, all of it comes out of that same four. None of it can be left behind. The vehicle has to come home. Musk: “So that means you have to have basically A-pluses across the board: incredibly efficient engines, incredibly efficient structure.” Across the board is what makes this brutal. Most engineering lets you buy a weakness in one place with strength somewhere else. The margin here is thin enough that one component landing at merely excellent drops the whole vehicle below the line. Nothing carries anything. Musk: “But if full and rapid reusability can be achieved, it reduces the cost of access to orbit by a factor of 100 or more.” A hundred times cheaper turns nearly every question about space from whether into when. Telescopes, stations, factories, missions that never made it past a spreadsheet. Musk: “So we’ve got to get rockets to the point where we simply refuel the rocket and we don’t throw it away.” Every other vehicle humans build already works that way. Space is the one place we still build the machine, use it once, and let it fall into the ocean. Musk: “It’s the difference between humanity being a single-planet species and a multi-planet species. It’s really that big of a deal.” Now put his doubt in context. Landing an orbital booster upright was considered impossible by most of the industry. He spent years being told so while boosters exploded on barges. Those landings became routine, then boring, then unwatched. Then they stopped using legs. A twenty story booster came back from the edge of space, slowed itself, and hovered next to the tower it launched from. Two arms closed around it and took its weight in midair. Nothing touched the ground. That was a headline for about a day. He has been on this side of impossible before, more than once. Doubt from him measures how hard the thing is at the start rather than how it ends. Most people never attempt anything where failure is genuinely on the table. He found the hardest problem available and made it the center of his life. That is what real ambition looks like from the inside. Not certainty. A number nobody has ever hit, and showing up to it every morning until it falls.
