SpaceX reportedly passes first key tests for America’s Golden Dome.
SpaceX, Northrop Grumman and other companies completed the first stage of testing for the $185 billion missile-defense system as per Bloomberg.
The early tests included:
• Design and component-level testing
• Transferring data from sensors to interceptors
• Demonstrating propulsion systems
There is currently no official confirmation from Elon Musk or SpaceX.
Elon Musk on @Grok:
“I think an AI that is sort of SpaceX’s baby will be a very good AI. I think SpaceX is a collection of some of the very best humans on Earth, both in capability and morality and goodness, and I think we want to have an AI that is born of that capability and that morality and that goodness.
I think that’s very, very important. So I’d like to encourage people to help out, actually, with the AI hardware on the ground and the AI software and, of course, with the AI satellites. Solar is going to be a very important part of that.
The TerraFab will be a very important part of that, but we must also succeed on the software front, and we’re going to be training Grok on the sum total of all SpaceX information. So in a way, it will be trained on you. You will effectively be the parents of the AI.
It will inherit your thoughts and ideas and beliefs, and I think that’s a good thing. So, yeah, we’ve got to win here on the AI hardware and the AI software. That maybe is the most important message.
I think that is actually the most important message I wanted to convey today is that we must win on AI because the future is overwhelmingly AI and robots. So we won’t ultimately be able to control the AI. It’ll be too smart for that.
But just like if you have a child that is a super genius child, you can still instill in that child the values and beliefs that you think are good and right. And so that’s why it’s incredibly important that we succeed with Grok.
So, yeah, well, Grok 4.5 you’ve tried probably. We’ve got 4.6 coming out in about a week. And then 4.7 should be really pretty special. So I’d like to encourage everyone at SpaceX to use AI and to make it better.”

BREAKING: SpaceXAI just released Grok Bot — your team of always-on AI teammates.
Each Bot has its own computer and can continue working 24/7, even when you step away.
• Works across apps, inboxes, tools and websites
• Completes multi-step jobs from start to finish
• Can use platforms without an API or MCP
• Message it like a coworker from desktop or phone
• Run multiple specialized Bots in parallel
• Bots can message each other and share context
• Coordinate Bots through group chats
• Bots can assign work and ownership to each other
• Teach a workflow by showing it once
• Saves workflows as reusable routines
• Remembers corrections, conversations and preferences
• Learns your voice and improves over time
• Follows up on unfinished threads and stalled work
• Becomes proactive and knows when to ask for approval

I agree. Each city has its own charm with different cultural sites to see. Buildings and streets are clean and in good repair. Also, people are polite, hard-working, and respectful. I feel safe, so enjoy going to China.
Elon loved chess so he received many interesting chess games as gifts.
It runs in the family. My twin sister and I were the only girls on the school’s chess team. ♟️
I had no choice. I was booked for a modeling job in Italy and had to be vaccinated although I already had Covid and my antibodies were high. I also needed three tests before getting on the flight, and two tests after landing in Rome. Again two tests before leaving Italy and returning home. Sigh….
In 2019, I was flown from New York to Toronto to do an editorial for @FashionCanada I came into the studio and asked where all the models are. They said it’s only me. I was surprised. And then had to make poses that were awkward for me. Looks like they turned out OK. Keep learning… @XFashion

BREAKING: SpaceX’s Starfall secures a major research mission from Redwire’s SpaceMD.
SpaceMD has booked an entire Starfall spacecraft for launch in late 2028. It is expected to carry up to 32 PIL-BOX laboratories, allowing research to be conducted in microgravity before the samples return to Earth for analysis.
Redwire says this would become the largest dedicated commercial microgravity research mission to date.
SpaceX and Tesla have officially announced that Terafab will be built in Grimes County, Texas.
The first phase will receive a $16.8 billion investment and is expected to create at least 3,000 jobs.
