Important note regarding Grok @Bot:
Going forward, @SpaceX will use the best back end model for any given task, including Claude Opus 5.5, MidJourney, Suno and other leading APIs.
Whatever is most likely to give you the best outcome.
I literally hooked up ALL my finance accounts to Grok Bot.
I really mean all of them:
1/ Chase
2/ Charles Schwab
3/ E*TRADE
4/ Fidelity
5/ Robinhood
6/ Wealthfront
7/ Apple Card
8/ 𝕏 Money
FYI, this is a total of 30 accounts... Chase alone is 13 accounts between checking, savings, brokerage, credit cards, a 401(k), trusts, a stock plan, and 529s for the kids.
I was already honestly the best with my $ money and I’ve NEVER made a late payment in my life. But before Grok Bot, I was wasting so much time bc every answer lived in different apps. Like my cash was in one place, cards in another, brokerage accounts somewhere else, and had to compile everything in a spreadsheet, if I even got around to putting it together.
Now I just text my Grok Bot CFO.
I can ask, “What’s my cash right now?” and it pulls everything together and separates personal from business. I can ask which credit cards are coming due and whether I have enough cash to pay them all in full. Green means I’m covered, red means I’m short, and it tells me exactly how much I need. I actually tested this... going red on purpose. Like I moved $ money around so I would come up short on one of the upcoming bills, and Grok caught it.
I can even ask, “Where did my $ money go?” and instead of opening a bunch of apps, downloading transactions, cleaning up a spreadsheet, and making a chart myself, it pulls everything together and gives me the breakdown.
Today, I also asked it for a pie chart of all my stock investments with the amounts and percentages.
1/ TSLA is 84.9%
2/ SPCX is 10.4%
3/ NVDA is 4.7%
That’s across $ money sitting in different brokerage accounts, and it's awesome that I didn’t have to think about where any of it was.
I literally just asked it one question... you can see for yourself.
If you’re serious about your finances, you already ask the same questions all the time.
• Like, can I cover everything that’s due?
• Where did my $ money go?
• How much $ cash do I really have?
• What investments do I actually own?
But honestly, the annoying part is that your financial life is usually scattered across 10+ different apps/platforms and a bunch of accounts, so getting a real answer takes a lot of work and your time. And honestly, most people probably don’t even look until something feels off or if they get a notification that a payment was missed or something.
Now, with all my finance accounts linked, I just ask a normal question, Grok Bot checks everything it has connected, and gives me the answer. Then I can ask the same thing tomorrow, and again whenever, and get the updated version without rebuilding anything.
The fact that you are able to talk to your entire financial life like you’re texting someone who already knows where everything is... this is a total game changer in the world of finance imo.
If you really care about your $ money, hook yours up to Grok Bot.
It's so worth it.
I find it funny that some people got hung up on Starship not having gone orbital before Flight 14 when in the grand scheme of things it was completely arbitrary in terms of performance. The 19ish second burn only added about 91 m/s of velocity (a 1.2% increase in velocity)
This capability has been physically capable since Flight 6 which demonstrated a single Raptor relight in space. Heck, Flight 13’s burn was about 14 seconds, but intentionally oriented to primarily do a plane change instead of a prograde insertion burn for continued safety.
Any of the relights COULD have done the orbital insertion burn, the duration was not of any special technical capability. The reason Starship didn’t go orbital until Flight 14 is probably what we should applaud them for the most… SAFETY.
Their methodical approach to getting good data and going one step at a time while hucking the single most massive object ever put into space proves they weren’t just doing things haphazardly, despite the occasional narrative from the outside.
While it’s easy to compare Starship to vehicles like SLS or Vulcan or New Glenn, the reality is the focus hasn’t been on orbit, it’s been all on the “downhill” side of that. Safe and targeted de-orbit, clean reentry, targeted and soft splashdown. That’s the part that has (almost) never been done before.
And here I do have to add a little Space Shuttle admiration for figuring out a lot of these things on its first flight in 1981 (although it came a bit close to not being successful). Pretty amazing there was a vehicle of similar scale capable of such precise deorbit and reentry that it landed on a runway with no go-around capabilities. Crazy.
But Starship is well on a path to absolutely leap-frog the Space Shuttle in terms of performance (already over double and someday 6 fold) and hopefully in terms of full and rapid reuse. I hope we see the latter part speed up even more now that orbit has been demonstrated.
Exciting times ahead!!! Keep going @spacex@elonmusk
The nation owes a debt to @JGebbia and his excellent team. They worked incredibly hard, with no compensation, to make government services work better for all Americans.
