Lead: Court lets the Pentagon keep Anthropic's Claude out of its systems

The Wire stays in the email.

BREAKING: X and SpaceXAI are looking to Reboot X Premium into the new X Subscription.
You will get Cursor, Grok, and X benefits all in one unified plan with more benefits and access to be announced.

This is fantastic news!.

Here is what the early access announcement looks like on android.

I dont know when this will go live but know its been something they have been working on for weeks.

[X Freeze @XFreeze]

SpaceXAI's new unified 𝕏 subscription is coming soon

One subscription gives you access to the entire ecosystem......Grok, Cursor, Grok Bot and 𝕏 benefits all in one plan, with more benefits and access coming

Nvidia’s OpenShell announcement is a reminder that agent safety is an engineering problem.

Recent breakouts weren’t proof that development must stop. They were proof that the sandbox was too weak. The runtime environment was poorly designed and misconfigured.

The right response is open runtime isolation, control of the path to the model, out-of-band hardware enforcement, and a faster pace of safety work with the frontier labs.

As the technical blog puts it: “We believe we need to increase the pace of AI safety research and engineering in collaboration with frontier labs and the broader community.”

That’s how you earn trust. Not by virtue-signaling a pause, and not by acting like no solution exists.

𝕏 is building its own full-scale meeting platform with 𝕏 Calls...basically its own version of Google Meet and Zoom

You can start instant calls, create meetings for later with a link or code, or schedule them with titles, descriptions, invitees and calendar integration

The experience goes beyond simple video calls with group meetings, custom backgrounds, interactive whiteboards, live chat, reactions and more

𝕏 Calls also includes flexible access controls, letting hosts choose who can join.....everyone, verified organization members, or only approved participants

The biggest upgrade is that 𝕏 Calls runs on a new in-house backend instead of the older Periscope-based infrastructure

It’s currently being tested and could roll out publicly soon

[Nic Cruz Patane @niccruzpatane]

From concept to reality.

@SpaceX has successfully deployed Starlink V3 satellites into Earth’s orbit and made contact with them for the first time.

At scale, one Starship carries 60 V3 satellites, the same network capacity as about 20 Falcon 9 launches.

Hi Lissala,

If you’re ever interested in learning more about AI, I would love for you to check out my newsletter. I try to keep everything simple, and easy to understand so anyone can learn about AI, even if they’re completely new to it.

Here’s the link to today’s newsletter. I hope you enjoy it, and good luck.

@Lissalalalala Worth a quick look. If you never signed up, it could be a fake email, so don't click the links. Check that the sender address ends in https://t.co/GCsFdf4A3C. If it's real, someone may have used your email, and resetting the password locks them out.

Monday's Factwire is out. A court just let the Pentagon keep Anthropic's Claude out of its systems. Here's what happened and why it matters to you.

Let me know what you think!

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Yup

[Your Mom, Dave @YourMomDave1]

Blue Origin is great and if we had nothing to compare it with, we'd be incredibly impressed with what they built, having raised just $30B.

But let's just use BO to put SpaceX's capital efficiency into perspective;

— SPCX invented the orbital class reusable booster
— flew + landed it like 650 times
— built Starlink; 10M+ customers
— built Dragon; launched like 60 humans to the ISS
— got ~95% of the way to making a fully reusable Starship operational
— acquired xAI, positioning them to do Starmind

All of this on just $10B worth of private equity

Like what the fuck

[Factwire @Factwireai]

@cb_doge Sooo cool.

[DogeDesigner @cb_doge]

Happy Starship Day!

[SpaceX @SpaceX]

Go for orbit! Starship will soon perform a burn with a single Raptor engine to enter an ~275 km orbit of Earth

[X Freeze @XFreeze]

Starship is reusing its heat shield tiles for the first time

Two tiles recovered from Ship 40 after Flight 13 are flying again today on Flight 14

Small tiles, big step toward full reuse

[DogeDesigner @cb_doge]

BREAKING: Starship Flight 14 has lifted off and is on its way to orbit for the first time.

It is carrying 26 next-generation Starlink V3 satellites, set to become the first V3 satellites delivered into operational orbit by Starship.

History is being made. 🚀

[DogeDesigner @cb_doge]

BREAKING: Kazakhstan’s Digital Ministry has just announced the launch of Starlink Mobile.

Beeline users with compatible mobile phones can connect directly to Starlink satellites in dead zones, without extra hardware.

[X Freeze @XFreeze]

Starship is launching 26 Starlink V3 satellites today

But three of those satellites have another very interesting job...

They’re equipped with cameras that will actually scan Starship’s heat shield from orbit

If Starship successfully completes orbital insertion, deployment begins around 34 minutes after launch

Then all 26 satellites will be released over roughly 30 minutes...about one every minute

This will be Starship’s first attempt to place operational Starlink satellites into orbit

Launch window opens today at 7:15 AM CT

This is a huge flight

[Factwire @Factwireai]

@XFreeze Awesome!

[Factwire @Factwireai]

@elonmusk Grok already wins on live X instead of a delayed web summary, a cheaper flagship API at about $2 in and $6 out per million tokens versus the top OpenAI and Claude tiers, a faster ship cycle with a looser default tone, and native image and video in the product.
