Very inspiring words from Elon Musk today:
"I always think about this. There are always problems on earth. There’s always things that we wish to be better, that we want to solve on Earth, and we should solve them. But there there also has to be things that get you excited about the future — that make you glad to wake up in the morning, because you can’t wait to see what happens next.
That’s the future @SpaceX wants to bring to you."
Let’s goooooo🚀
.@elonmusk says he was literally “all in” betting everything he owned on Tesla and SpaceX when his third rocket failed and Peter Thiel stepped in to save SpaceX:
“My buddies from PayPal saved my butt.”
“Peter Thiel’s been a big supporter. He invested in SpaceX at an important time in 2008. Before orbit. After our 3rd failure but before success:”
“Big credit to Peter and @LukeNosek and the other guys at @foundersfund. Basically my buddies from PayPal.”
“It is certainly hard to believe that a little company (@SpaceX) that started in a warehouse in El Segundo is now going public with the largest IPO ever.”
@elonmusk
“It is certainly hard to believe that a little company that started in a warehouse in El Segundo is now going public with the largest IPO ever.”
Only in America. Congratulations to @elonmusk@SpaceX. This is the American Dream 🇺🇸💪🚀
ELON MUSK: "It is certainly hard to believe that little company that started in a warehouse in El Segundo is now going public. It was the largest IPO ever, and let me tell you, if people had told me this was gonna happen, I was like, man, you must be smoking some really good crack, because I think this company is gonna fail. I gave SpaceX less than a 10% chance of succeeding at all. To be clear, in fact, I told people this. I said, look, we’re probably going to fail, but you know, should give it a try, because if we don’t, if there’s not a new company that enters space, we will never be a truly space-bearing civilization."
Grok Build just got a major update with a ton of new features and improvements
Release Notes: v0.2.51
Breaking Changes:
• grok mcp add now accepts positional arguments (e.g. grok mcp add filesystem -- npx ...), supports --scope project, and adds -e/-H flags for env/headers.
Features:
• Mermaid flowcharts now render subgraph blocks as titled frames with correct internal and cross-boundary edges.
• Class diagrams in Mermaid now render as proper UML boxes with attributes, methods and inheritance arrows instead of raw source.
• Permission prompts now accept a double-click on an option to submit it, matching the existing Enter and number-key shortcuts.
• New /code-review slash command now ships with the CLI and is always available
Bug Fixes:
• Plan mode exit reminders no longer appear after the model has already started implementing the plan.
• Expanded thinking blocks in scrollback now remain expanded when the agent finishes them.
• grok update no longer downloads the same binary twice when multiple updaters or leader checks run concurrently.
• Background task IDs after /compact are now shown verbatim so the model can reference them correctly in later tool calls.
• Typing / while scrollback is focused now focuses the prompt and opens the slash-command dropdown.
This is absolutely insane:
The SpaceX IPO has now drawn more than $70 BILLION worth of retail orders alone.
SpaceX is raising $75 billion, making retail interest ALONE enough to nearly fill the entire sale.
To put this in perspective, the previous record IPO was Saudi Aramco in 2020 at $29.4 billion.
This means that retail interest in SpaceX is now 2.4 TIMES larger than the total amount raised in the previous largest IPO in history.
As a result, SpaceX has announced that 20% of their IPO will be allocated to retail investors, following through on @elonmusk's vision to democratize the record IPO.
Nothing even remotely near what SpaceX is about to do has ever happened.
Friday will be a historic day.
