@teslaownersSV I believe it will.
I also believe if enough cyber and are produced to cover the need, it will out what we now know as “taxi and/or cab service” out of business - IF the mapping and coding covers the “fly-over areas” as well.
Mark my words AI is far more dangerous than nukesThen this happens 😂 Robot beats human at rock-paper scissors and drops the villain monologue I won. This is a good beginning of my plan to dominate the human race Elon was cooking with that warning What do you think funny or lowkey concerning?
“Stop being patient and start asking yourself, how do I accomplish my 10-year plan in 6 months? You will probably fail but you will be a lot further ahead of the person who simply accepted it was going to take 10 years”

Send a boring machine up, along with more Optimus units, start building your Mars base, chip fabs, and data centers, that will already be tied into your Starlink network. Any needed modifications can be encrypted and uploaded with limited latency allowing real time updates.
Grok will soon be able to act independently and/or autonomously requiring minimal human interaction.
Here is where you have xAI discover and create whatever you need to replace the current fuel /power needed to launch the starships to Mars, increase your materials shipments…
ELON MUSK: Grok will act as the manager for Optimus.
Optimus need to be able to walk up to a computer or touchscreen and use it just like a human. That requires a generalized ability to understand live video, control screens and operate computers in real time. This is being developed in partnership with SpaceXAI's Grok. The large Grok model would act as the manager, giving Optimus a series of tasks and telling it what to do.
Elon Musk: "We should really accept no racism or sexism in any form, no matter what it’s called,
If 'wokism' means judging people by race, gender, or identity - that's racism
If DEI means giving advantages based on skin color - that's racism rebranded
We need a meritocracy - where people rise based on talent and hard work, not identity politics
And free speech only means something when people you disagree with are allowed to speak”
Some have questioned Elon's choice to invest heavily in Grok Imagine early (eg before coding models)
It makes sense if you consider his love for the fundamental freedom of expression
Hollywood and the streaming platforms have had a monopoly on production and distribution.
They are, in all functional ways, a cultural propaganda engine.
Every civilization needs one. But who owns it?
Very soon, you will.
You could say it was technically inevitable that AI video would get good enough to be enjoyable.
But it only *felt* inevitable recently when I saw 1) the Spencer Pratt AI election ads which were actually funny and 2) the Sweet Land music video by @heavypulp which was actually poignant (enough so that I listened/watched 4x)
AI images are already really good, but they aren't nearly as powerful. Movies are the most potent cultural propaganda tool of all time, but AI has sucked at them.
Not anymore. Grok Imagine + a talented creator is now producing content good enough to enjoy without asterisks.
The AI version of the Odyssey, no matter how long and expensive it is to produce, will be 3+ orders of magnitude (1000x) less expensive than Nolan's
Which means that nearly everyone will be able to try.
And based on this short clip, the output will actually be good.
Frankly it doesn't even have to be perfect. As long as it is good, the damage to the existing power structure will be done.
A solo creator with a vision will be able to singlehandedly put out work that is *actually enjoyable*, direct to the public, with literally no physical overhead.
The cultural landscape will change really quickly.
Individual people can express a vision in the most powerful medium yet discovered, unadulterated by tastemasters at the studios.
We're at the rubicon, about to cross over.
The propaganda engine will become distributed to the people, and the outcomes will be judged purely on resonance.
This was Elon's point, in my opinion.

@PeterDiamandis Please elaborate - how would one decide which technologies to feel guilty about?
Who, exactly, is debating this?
What are the preliminary conclusions ?
@PeterDiamandis If we don’t resolve the water situation here on Earth, we will be hard-pressed to have the population needed to keep materials moving to Mars (or anywhere else) - unless the plan is for Optimus to take over everything…?
@PeterDiamandis Per Grok: About 71% of the earth’s surface is water. Roughly 25% of the world’s population (about 2.1 billion people) struggles to meet their daily needs for safe drinking water. Perhaps we need to aggressively search for a solution to this dilemma here on Earth simultaneously?
ELON MUSK’S HARDEST DECISION
In 2008, Elon Musk faced a defining moment. With only about $30 million left, he had to choose between saving Tesla or SpaceX or divide the money and risk losing both.
He chose to back both companies.
It was one of the biggest risks of his career, but that decision helped shape the future of electric vehicles and space exploration.
What would you have done? Would you have put everything into one company or taken the same risk? Share your thoughts below.
@PeterDiamandis I believe we KNOW there are pockets of water on Mars - we need to know how to access it and make it potable. Water will also be needed to grow food resources.
We either need to find it, manufacture it, or recycle materials to extract it.
Who is currently researching the issue?
