Life is really good when you don’t care what anyone has to say about you.

Do you agree with me ?

A. Absolutely 💯
B. No way

Talarico hates Texas

[KanekoaTheGreat @KanekoaTheGreat]

James Talarico, in his own words:

"God is non-binary."

"In fact, there are six" biological sexes.

What he calls women: "neighbors with a uterus."

Parents who deny a child's gender identity: "abusive for sure."

Early voting starts tomorrow, Texas.

True, even SpaceX’s competitor’s FUTURE plans are behind Starship 🤣🤣

[James Cat @TSLAFanMtl]

Ok so yeah... $SPCX has no competition. None. And that's today, before Starship becomes their mainstream rocket. Starship widens the moat *considerably* more.

The competition is so far behind, they may as well be on another planet. Even the competitor's future plans are behind!

I have my banking connected to @bot.

It was a seamless process to connect and it now audits my credit card, tracks refunds and returns, and alerts me when the bill is due.

My favorite is when bot tells me a trial period moves into a full price subscription.

The future is now.

Grok @bot can call restaurants by phone and book you a table

[Brian Roemmele @BrianRoemmele]

“HUNNY MY GROK BOT CALLED OUR FAVORITE ITALIAN RESTAURANT AND MADE US RESERVATIONS”

I built a Grok Bot whose only job is to pick up the phone and book you a table at restaurant. Literally make the call in a beautiful Grok voice. It is absolutely amazing! And it’s free.

Try it: https://t.co/ERxNnq9wFT

Yesterday I told it "book Gourmet Italia in Temecula, 4 people, tonight, around 7." It found the restaurant's number on its own, asked how flexible we were on time, what name to book under, and what callback number to give. Then it read everything back and waited for my OK before it dialed. One call covers every time that works for us, so there's no back and forth.

When the call ends, it tells me what happened in plain English, quotes what the restaurant actually said, and offers to put the reservation on my calendar. If I don't have a calendar connected, it hands me a file that opens right in Apple Calendar.

A Proposal: Grok Phone

Grok Bot needs its own phone number to make and receive calls. I connected a calling service called ClawCall, and the free tier gave me 30 calls or 30 minutes to start. I have no connection to that company. It's just what I used. Once Grok Bot has a number, it stops being something you type to and becomes something that can actually get things done in the real world. @Grok you need an old tyme phone service, buddy.

I built some guardrails. It never hands over a credit card or deposit info, never leaves voicemails unless you ask, makes one call at a time, and never calls on its own.

And this isn't really about restaurants. Change a few words and the same bot can:

- Book a haircut, a massage, or a dentist cleaning

- Get a tee time or a court reservation

- Check if a hotel has a room or will let you check in early

- Schedule a car service or an oil change

- Call around for quotes from a plumber, an electrician, or a caterer

This is one of many ways I use Grok Bot to build businesses and make life easier. The calls I used to put off for days now take me 30 seconds.

I made it shareable, so you can grab "Call A Restaurant Reservation" and use it yourself.

Elon says connecting Grok Bot to your X DMs is the best way to use it

and it shipped in the same update that made it 3x FASTER

the part crypto people should care about:

> Robinhood, Coinbase and eToro connectors just went live
> it reads your X Chat, so deal DMs and collab offers get sorted for you
> tag @bot under any post to dig into a project before you ape
> email aliases: one routine per inbox, launches in one, invoices in another

My read: speed gets the headline, but the connectors are why I'm keeping it on all day

[Occupy Mars @occupymars6_]

Try Grok @bot

[Teslaconomics @Teslaconomics]

Bro… it actually worked.

I sent one text to my Grok @bot asking it to order the Ollyball Keepy Uppy, the indoor ball from Shark Tank. And now it’s sitting on my doorstep.

I didn’t open a single website. I just told it what I wanted, and it literally took care of the rest.

Watching that go from a text on my phone to an actual package at my door is pretty wild if you ask me.

Good luck getting me to shop the old way again… I don’t think I’m ever going back to the traditional way of shopping ever again with Grok Bot at my fingertips.

[Occupy Mars @occupymars6_]

Grok @bot is like hiring an incredibly competent employee

[Rothmus 🏴 @Rothmus]

Use Grok @Bot

This is a public service announcement.

[DogeDesigner @cb_doge]

When @Starlink helped rescue four sailors and three dogs. ♥️

Four people and three dogs were stranded after a storm badly damaged their boat in the South Pacific. They were more than 300 km from New Caledonia.

They had no radio contact. They sent their location through Starlink.

A cruise ship changed course and travelled five hours to reach them. All four people and all three dogs were rescued.

This is why Starlink matters. When people need help, a working connection can save lives. This life-saving technology should be available in every part of the world.

Here are the key features of Grok Bot! This is what makes Grok Bot different.

- Grok Bot's dedicated email
- Voice: talk by voice, even in the car
- Its own computer: opens websites and fills out forms, 24/7 on
- Connectors: Gmail, Calendar, Notion, Drive, X and more
- Routines: works on a schedule while you sleep
- A team of bots: one for email, one for shopping, one for trips
- Proactive: It tells me first.

[Melvin Vivas @melvindvivas]

Grok Bot has its own computer

So you can close your laptops and just use the app in your phone

Unless, you need some file accessed from your laptop, just let it use its computer

HOW ELON MUSK AND HIS BROTHER'S FIRST VACATION ALMOST TURNED INTO A TRAGEDY... AND HOW IS IT CONNECTED TO THE SUCCESS OF SPACEX?

december 2000. Elon has just been pushed out as CEO of PayPal. he's 29, rich on paper, and for once he takes a break

he flies to South Africa with his brother Kimbal. the bush, a safari, the place they grew up running around in

Kimbal laughs about it now:
"we'd go to the bush all the time. i don't think we ever took malaria tablets"

this time they did. it didn't matter

january 2001. Elon is back in California and something is badly wrong. doctors check for malaria. negative

Kimbal: "i couldn't figure out what was wrong with him"

then their uncle, a doctor in South Africa, says it straight: "he has malaria. check again"

he was right. malaria hides in the body. and this was the deadly kind

Elon: "i had a severe case of malaria. almost died"
"i lost like 50 pounds"
"took me over six months to get back to normal"

and his lesson from all of it:
"no more vacations"

now the part that matters

six months of recovery. no company to run. a guy who almost died at 29 starts asking one question: what do i do next?

he checks NASA's website to see when humans are going to Mars. there's no plan. nothing

so he flies to Moscow. to buy ICBMs. "literally"
"i can afford to pay under nine million dollars for an ICBM. but not 20"

the Russians keep raising the price. he walks out

and instead of looking for a cheaper seller, he asks a different question: why are rockets so expensive in the first place? the metal, the fuel, the parts cost a small slice of the price tag. the rest is how the industry builds them

so instead of buying a rocket, he decides to build one

napkin math:
the rocket he was willing to pay for: under $9M
where the Russians were pushing: $20M+
his cut from the PayPal sale to eBay in 2002: ~$180M
how much of it went into SpaceX: ~$100M
SpaceX today: valued at $800B+

the company is now worth ~8,000x the money he put in

the first three Falcon 1 launches failed. the fourth reached orbit in 2008. he's said there was money for basically one more try

most people come back from almost dying and slow down. Elon came back and bet more than half of everything on the most expensive thing on earth

a vacation almost killed him. the comeback built SpaceX

[MAZE @mazemoore]

Starlink slowed down for a couple days in Ukraine so a bunch of Europeans and a bunch of Democrats have declared that Elon Musk is the most evil person to ever live.

"Elon is the worst human being ever."

"As soon as our technology catches up to Elon's, we will boycott his products!"

"SpaceX and Starlink are dead!"

Look at you fools go. All because Elon allegedly didn't do everything in his power to help Ukraine.

Wait until you dumb f*cks hear about your hero, Barack Obama.

After Putin annexed Crimea and moved 30,000 troops to the Ukrainian border, Obama refused to give Ukraine weapons to defend itself. And he refused for years.

Surely you Ukraine fans remember that right?

Surely you remember the President of Ukraine standing before Congress, begging for weapons to defend Ukraine. You must because you all love Ukraine.

Surely you remember Obama's speech in 2014 at the NATO summit. If you don't, you should watch Fox News because they are currently playing my video of his speech.

During his speech Obama said that Russia was a regional power that posed no threat to America, even after Putin invaded part of Ukraine.

How could that be? We are told now that if Putin takes Ukraine, he could take the entire world. Was Obama lying back then? Impossible, Obama is incapable of that.

During that same speech Obama also said that Ukraine should work out its own future and that many Ukrainians in fact had allegiance to Russia. Obama said that countries regularly break international law and that it wasn't our problem. How could he say that?

Obama sounded like "Putin's Puppet" right? You fans of Ukraine must be so angry at Obama.

Here's a video of the Ukrainian President begging before Congress for weapons after Putin took Crimea.

Say it you Ukraine lovers. Say that Obama is worse than Elon Musk. Will you? Nah. You all are frauds.

Also included in the video is Biden in 2018 being asked about the fact that Trump gave Ukraine the weapons to defend itself that Obama would not. Biden said that he agreed with Trump and that he had spent years arguing to Obama to supply Ukraine those same weapons.

Come on Ukraine fans. Speak out about Obama like you do about Elon and Trump. 😜
