Boom also had a board meeting where the board told me to shut the company down. XB-1 hadn’t broken the sound barrier yet. The team deployed in the Mojave desert was exhausted from months of fighting tough technical issues. We had only a few weeks of cash left and no one saw a path forward.

My audit committee chair quit without notice. At first, I was pissed. I told her she would make it look as if we had an accounting scandal when in fact we were squeaky clean.

But eventually, I realized the attrition was a gift. Hard times are a crucible for the truly committed. Boom had acquired some fair-weather friends, on the board and inside the company, and when times got tough, they all ran for the hills.

It was some of Boom‘s darkest days, but we also found out who was really with us. I’m grateful for the team, the board members, and the investors that doubled down with us when the chips were down. We wouldn’t be here without you. Supersonic flight would still be illegal.

Alex Gerko, @paulg , @sama, @reidhoffman , Michael Moritz, @jgebbia, @davidcowan, @avichal, @collison, @ycombinator saved Boom and gave the world a real shot at supersonic passenger flight.

Elon is the hero of our century, so far.

It's going to take a lot to top what he's done for civilization.

My partner Steve Jurvetson spent his nights and weekends launching rockets. Totally obsessed.

So I told him, "Find us the best rocket company."

Three weeks later he came back.

"The best rocket company is Elon's."

My first reaction: "Isn't he supposed to be running Tesla?" We already had a big investment in Tesla, but we heard him out.

In that meeting, you could feel it. His mission in life was to make humanity multi-planetary. Tesla was a means to an end.

So we became the first money in after Elon's own $100 million and an investment from Founders Fund.

Just before we invested, the first few rockets had exploded on the launch pad.. but then a Falcon 1 lifted off and worked. It launched one small satellite for Malaysia, and then it was retired.

Falcon 9 was the true workhorse, which good customers came for later over time.

Eventually there were contracts everywhere, and Elon Musk began his journey to make us multiplanetary.

A mission like "we're going to Mars" attracts the best engineers in the world. People take a new job to solve a problem they'll tell their grandkids about.

When Kennedy said we choose to go to the moon, the technologies that came out of that effort changed everything on Earth.

Same thing is happening now. Starlink exists because Elon Musk is building to get us to Mars.

If the mission is grand enough, innovations that happen along the way will enhance and may even redefine the business.

Thanks to Bonnie Blockchain for having me on!

This is why Anthropic extended Fable 5 limits yesterday: they don't want customers directly comparing Opus 4.8 to xAI's new model.

That means Elon is *cooking*.

Excited to try Grok 4.5 when it is released.

Optimistic Elon can completely overtake Anthropic in next 3-6 months.

BREAKING: SpaceX’s Starship just got another lunar customer. Japan’s ispace will use SpaceX’s Starship for Moon cargo missions.

• ispace signed an agreement with SpaceX to secure 500 kg of payload capacity on Starship.

• First mission is targeted to launch as early as 2030 through ispace’s new Lunar Access Integration service.

• The service is designed to make it easier for companies, governments, and research organizations to send payloads to the Moon.

• Customers can fly payloads ranging from a few kilograms up to 500 kg on shared Starship missions.

“We are very pleased to be able to offer the new Lunar Access Integration service utilizing Starship’s payload space… High-capacity, relatively low-cost lunar transport… is essential to realizing the sustainable lunar economy that ispace aims to create.”

Tesla has secured a massive Megapack order worth up to $3 billion from energy technologies manufacturer Esyasoft to supply more than 15 GWh of battery energy storage systems across the UK, Western Europe, the GCC and Indian markets.

Mike Snyder, VP Tesla Energy & Charging: "This collaboration represents an effort to scale intelligent grid solutions where they're needed most. Tesla's vertical integration enables us to streamline the entire project lifecycle from design to operation. Through combined expertise with Esyasoft, we can accelerate deployment timelines and ensure the seamless integration and sustained reliability required for a modern, resilient grid."

In 1825, a rich Welsh industrialist bought an entire American town to prove that socialism could work.

He had the money, the buildings, the theory, and hundreds of eager followers waiting to move in.

Two years later, it was over. 🧵

Finally, Grok’s Speech-to-Text is now live in Grok Build

You can now just dictate prompts directly to your coding agents using /voice or Ctrl + Space, powered by Grok Voice

Just talk naturally for like 15 minutes straight. Grok transcribes everything in real-time and gets to work instead of stopping to type every instruction

This makes it so much easier to:
• Brainstorm ideas while coding
• Describe complex changes conversationally
• Stay in flow without switching between keyboard and voice
• Interact with coding agents more naturally

As AI coding assistants get more capable, voice is becoming a first-class workflow in Grok Build

Huge unlock for anyone who thinks out loud or hates context switching
