Used Grok @Bot to book flights for a relatively complex family trip. Incredible experience. I’ll likely never use an airline’s website again.

When Chris Anderson asked Elon Musk what drives him every single day to do everything he does, Elon gave an incredibly deep and powerful answer “I really want to make sure that there is a good future for humanity, and that we're on a path to understanding the nature of the universe, the meaning of life. Why are we here? How do we get here?” And then he explained what motivates him more than anything: “I'm motivated by curiosity more than anything, and just a desire to think about the future and not be sad”

J.R.R. Tolkien, holy cow this hits

Got to say it. GrokBot is AWESOME. Actually addicting.

BREAKING: Starlink helped Japan’s ZIPAIR grow passenger revenue 12.3% YoY. Japan Airlines (JAL) says @Starlink improved ZIPAIR’s onboard experience and helped drive revenue growth alongside flexible pricing. ZIPAIR became Asia’s first airline with Starlink across its entire fleet in May. April–September passenger revenue reached ¥42.9 billion, while seat occupancy jumped from 73.7% to 87.8%.

Most people are still using AI the wrong way. They ask it questions. Elon Musk just pointed at the right way. Yesterday, Jason Ginsberg wrote: "Treat Grok Bot like a teammate and give @bot an ambitious task you'd normally give to a new hire." Elon's answer: "This is the way." Three words. A whole shift in how we work. Here's what that looks like in real life. Scott Billows runs a business with a very traditional sales cycle. Deals that take months to cultivate. He pointed Grok Bot at his company's tools. It dug through the past. Surfaced old prospects and customers nobody was calling anymore. Handed them to his sales reps. Two weeks in, a closed deal. His words: "Without Grok Bot we most likely would not have reached out to this past customer." Think about that. Not a faster search. Not a smarter autocomplete. Not a chatbot. A teammate that found money hiding in plain sight. Everyone thought AI would be a better answer machine. It's actually a new kind of colleague. Elon put it plainly back in October: "assume you are hiring a super competent employee." Not a tool you open. Someone you hand the job to. The team keeps adding powers. Product pages. Order tracking. Payments. Team Bots your whole company can share. Every week the job description gets longer. Here's the part almost nobody sees yet. For all of history, having a team was a privilege. Only the rich, the big companies, the well-connected could delegate. Everyone else did everything alone. That wall is falling. A small shop owner. A single parent. A sailor at sea. Anyone can now say: "Here's the mission. Go." When everyone gets a team, everyone becomes a builder. And a civilization of builders doesn't stay small for long. Stop asking AI questions. Give it a job.

Starlink helped save FIVE lives in the Atlantic. ♥️ Their boat, Karolina Viking, was filling with water. Its power systems were failing. Rescuers couldn’t reach them by radio or satellite phone. The sailors shared their location with rescuers through Starlink, helping another yacht find them. All five were rescued from their liferaft and brought safely aboard. Starlink helped turn a desperate situation into five lives saved. This is what a lifeline from space looks like.

I had my Grok Bot shop around new Auto Insurance. It couldn’t find info about Progressives Glass coverage and as all Tesla owners know Windshield replacements can be pricey. I had Grok Bot call Progressive and get additional information for me all while I picked my kids up from school without me ever having to talk to a person. Here is the transcript and actual recording from the call. Personal info was bleeped and some parts cut for time. While there’s some improvements that can be made it got the job done. My mind is thoroughly blown!

31% of the EU budget is farm subsidies. Defense gets 1.2%. Borders get 2%. Farm handouts get 25x what defense gets and 15x what borders get. Europe faces a land war on its eastern flank and years of uncontrolled migration. The response is a giant welfare machine, while actual security is ignored. They’re not preparing for the next decade.

Treat Grok Bot like a teammate and give @bot an ambitious task you’d normally give to a new hire.

Starlink helped save a woman stranded in Colorado’s freezing mountains. A 37-year-old hiker was trapped in deep snow, unable to walk and suffering from cold injuries. With no mobile phone signal, rescuers used Starlink to stay connected to their coordinator throughout the night. She was rescued by helicopter and flown to hospital the next morning. A lifeline from space helped rescuers bring her to safety.
