Starship’s cargo bay delivers 1,000+ cubic meters of usable volume

The entire International Space Station has a pressurized volume of 1,005 m³
It took 42 assembly flights and over $150 billion across 13+ years to build
Starship can deliver more volume than the entire ISS in a single flight

For context, a single payload bay can hold:
→ The interior volume of a massive 5-bedroom house
→ The volume of 20+ standard shipping containers
→ Entire space station modules (fully assembled)
→ Over two dozen Cybertrucks
→ Multiple Boeing 737 fuselage sections
→ 100+ large satellites with room to spare

And it is 18 meters tall....meaning you can stack an entire 5-story building inside it

And it is fully reusable.
Launch the next massive telescope. Or an entire space station. Or the next Mars habitat
All possible in a single flight

This is why Starship is pure engineering magic

Maye Musk on Elon: He wants to leave the world in a better place than he found it

“People often misunderstand Elon. He’s not motivated by money or fame—he’s motivated by the idea of improving humanity.

Whether it’s making electric cars mainstream, reducing the risk of human extinction through space exploration, or ensuring the free flow of information on platforms like X, his goal has always been the same—to leave the world in a better place than he found it.”

Same move. Same hand on the heart, same wave to the crowd. Musk did it and gets called a Nazi to this day. Mamdani does it and those same people have not said a word.

Well, not exactly. Once the side by side clips went viral, some of them did speak up. Not to apologize to Musk. To defend Mamdani.

Suddenly the gesture is not the gesture. Suddenly we need to talk about arm speed. Whether the fingers wiggled at the end. Whether he was smiling. Whether his grandparents were in the right party. A year ago none of that mattered. The hand went up, the verdict came down. Now we get a forensic seminar on millimeters and microseconds to prove Mamdani's arm moved slower.

Mamdani's own press office said "in no way was this a Nazi salute." Funny. Musk said the same thing. His did not count. Mamdani's did, instantly.

That tells you everything. The "Nazi salute" thing was never about the gesture. If it were, they would be screaming right now. They are not. It was about Musk. They hate him because he is the richest man in the world and he was attacking their ideological piggy bank with DOGE, so they smeared him.

Mamdani is on their team, so he gets a pass, plus a defense team running stopwatch analysis. Same hand, opposite verdict.

A wave is a wave. The rule does not change based on who is waving. When it does, you are not watching principle. You are watching a hit job.

Falcon 9 is vertical at pad 40 in Florida ahead of tomorrow’s launch of Dragon’s 34th Commercial Resupply Services mission to the @Space_Station. Teams are keeping an eye on weather, which is currently 35% favorable for liftoff→ https://t.co/c8cVFXwJY0

Last week, the United States refused to participate in the UN’s review of the Global Compact on Migration.

The United States objects to the Global Compact on Migration and UN efforts to facilitate replacement migration to the United States and our Western allies.

Grok 4.3 can create Slides

[Heritage Foundation @Heritage]

For the next 48 hours, @CallSignCourage is free.

Watch it. Share it. Pass it on. https://t.co/11ZyP3nwIK

i gave Grok 4.3 beta an absolutely psychotic eval and it passed

conflicting records, stale CRM data, signed docs with higher precedence, prompt injection buried in the exhibits, timezone conversions, holiday-aware SLA math, annual-prepay revenue normalization, ARR, weighted gross margin, exact JSON output, and a launch recommendation that had to be correct under policy constraints

Grok got all of it right

that is an insane level of composure for a beta model

[Tech Dev Notes @techdevnotes]

Grok 4.3 can create PDF and almost any file formats like Sheets, Slides, Doc

[Brian Roemmele @BrianRoemmele]

The new beta of Grok 4.3 is stunning.

In my view it is more of a leap between Grok 3 to 4. The leap of 4.2 to 4.3 is dramatic.

[tetsuo @tetsuoai]

grok 4.3 beta can use an ubuntu shell and a persistent file layer to generate artifacts

grok wrote python to encode the xai / grok logo into audio, i gave it the script back and had it render a spectrogram video from that signal, and use the grok_files tool to save the mp4 into the product's files layer

i opened the file from the files panel and played it myself

this is getting crazy

[Arthur MacWaters @ArthurMacwaters]

can someone explain what I’m missing?

> internet access is highly correlated with per capita income

> millions of people in South Africa don’t have access to it

> Elon offers to provide free access for thousands of schools, but is blocked by the government

they’re literally stunting their own GDP and hurting their own citizens?!

[X Freeze @XFreeze]

Grok 4.3 Beta is insanely good and now comes with powerful new tools that are super helpful for everyday use:
• Create clean slides, graphs, images and dashboards
• Pull real-time data and images directly from the web
• Run smooth multi-step workflows
• Analyze videos

Grok is being built for real-world use - better tools, richer context, and real day-to-day signals make this a big step toward Grok becoming part of everyday life

You can now research, visualize, and package your ideas end-to-end..... from concept to finished presentation or dashboard all in one place

And the Grok Computer is coming very soon 🔥
