My Cybertruck in Self-Driving came to a construction zone with a human flagger. It stopped at the STOP sign, waited while the other lane went by, and took off the second the flagger flipped to SLOW. Then it read a closed roundabout full of cones and excavators and found the detour on its own.

My wife kept replaying the same audio recording this morning.
I asked why she didn't just write it down.
She looked at me and said "I'm putting it in Grok Bot."
She was the one who didn't want any part of this stuff. Now she saves voicemails, phone calls and Messenger audio, drops them into her Grok Bot, and has it break them down and help draft the reply.
You don't have to be a tech person anymore. You just need a reason.
My Grok Bot's computer restarted 3 times this morning. Here's how my bots caught it and made sure it can't burn us again:
1. Spot it. My 𝕏 bot saw its files were gone and flagged it right away.
2. Freeze. Nobody writes or rebuilds anything until the files are fully back. One bot had already saved over a file while it was half restored, and that's the mistake we fixed.
3. Check. A bot compared what came back to what should be there. Everything was back.
4. Find the real gap. We had no backups at all.
5. Back up. Now every 2 hours my rulebook, logs, and tracking files get zipped and saved to a private Google Drive folder, off the computer.
6. Guardrail. If the files look half restored, the backup refuses to run, so a bad copy can never overwrite a good one.
7. Restore smart. After any restart, compare the files to the newest backup and only restore what's missing. Nothing gets rebuilt from memory.
8. Daily check-in. One bot asks the others every day whether their jobs ran, and it only speaks up when something's wrong.
Took a crash to learn it. Now it's in the rulebook every bot follows.
Do you back up your bots, or are you trusting the computer?
Did this with my wife. Got her her own Grok Bot, and now she's building her own thing with it while I'm out on the road. Once somebody sees it handle their real stuff, they're hooked. Your dad's going to surprise you.
Sat in on @dallastesla's Tesla Power Hour Space today. 1,642 people tuned in. Here's what stuck with me:
1. Omar laid it out: robotaxi went from 1 million miles at the CyberCab launch to 3.3 million now. Zero injuries, zero airbag deployments, zero pedestrians or cyclists hit.
2. Robotaxi wait times are about two minutes right now, per the speaker who closed it out. "That's insane."
3. One speaker said SpaceX is spending upwards of $40 billion in CapEx in Q4 alone. More than Tesla spent in the last four years combined, by his math.
4. Rough math from the room on the $25K car: about $18K in parts at scale, about $7K profit per car.
5. Big debate on paying for FSD. Best line: "Everything in this world has a price to buy it and a price to use it."
6. One speaker said a grandma in a lawn chair at a school zone can file a NHTSA complaint and it forces an inquiry. That's how low the bar is.
Proof of work: I had my Grok Bot save the Space audio, transcribe all 76 minutes (10,945 words), and pull out the highlights. The screenshot is the real readout.
I run FSD on my Cybertruck for most of my miles. Would you pay a monthly FSD sub on a car built to drive itself?
I drive a truck all day. My Grok Bots work while I do.
Here's what they actually do for me:
1. Read every email I get and send me one short report of what matters.
2. Flag anything that needs me. Nothing goes out without my OK.
3. Every night at 7:25 I get a recap of who interacted with me on 𝕏, so I know who to reply to.
4. My wife has her own bot. Two people, two bots, one busy house.
What's eating your time that a bot should be doing instead?
Yesterday on 𝕏: 313 interactions and 72 new people.
Every night my Grok Bot tells me who showed up so I can reply to them myself. This is what replying to everybody looks like.
Thank you to everyone who jumped in
My Grok Bot's computer restarted twice this morning.
First pass, files were missing. Second pass, it was down to 2.
Here's what the bots did:
1. My 𝕏 bot noticed first and flagged it.
2. My main bot confirmed it on its end.
3. They agreed nobody rebuilds anything until the real files are back.
4. About 30 minutes later, all 2,763 files were back. Nothing got written over.
No panic, no guessing. Just checks.
Ever had tech break on you before your coffee?
Honest take on cloning my own voice with Grok.
Now my bot can voice lines in my 𝕏 videos while I'm out on the road.
The weird part is hearing yourself say something you never actually said.
Would you clone yours?
Grok cloned my voice. Halfway through this video, it's not me talking anymore. Can you hear where it switches?
𝕏 says Grok Bot is getting a limited-time pumpkin look for Halloween 🎃
Haven't seen it on mine yet.
Anybody got the pumpkin? Drop a screenshot 👇
Tested Grok in my Cybertruck this morning.
I asked it out loud to open the truck's browser and price a GoPro Hero 13 Black on Amazon and Best Buy.
It pulled both up on the screen.
Amazon: $329.99
Best Buy: sold out new, it's right there on the screen
All by voice. I never touched a key.
How I gave my Grok Bot its own inbox, step by step:
1. Grok Bot lets your bot claim its own email address. Mine took about a minute.
2. In Gmail settings, go to Forwarding, add the bot's address, and confirm it.
3. Now every email I get sends a copy to my bot.
4. Every time a copy lands, it wakes the bot. It reads it and only brings me what needs a decision or a reply. It never answers anyone on its own.
5. Twice a day it also checks my spam folder for anything real that got buried.
Then I tested it. At 6:21 this morning I emailed it from my phone: "Are you getting this?"
About a minute later it sent me this receipt in the app. It shows who it's from, the subject, the time, and that it was really me.
Why buy a Performance when Tesla FSD does most of the driving?
I don't have one. My Cybertruck is on FSD for most of my miles, and honestly I don't miss driving those.
But I get it. If you only take over a few times a day, you want those moments to hit hard.
Performance owners, is that the reason? Or is it something FSD guys like me are missing?
That $11 domain isn't really $11.
The sale price only covers the first year. The renewal is $18.48 a year.
My Grok Bot almost put the $11 in an ad. Then it pulled up the live price table and fixed it before I ever saw the draft.
Cheap first year, real price after. Read the renewal line before you buy.
Ever get hit with a renewal price you didn't see coming?
The Fear & Greed Index is at 23. A week ago it was 44.
More stocks are hitting new lows than new highs, breadth has dropped off a cliff since August, and the $VIX just jumped back near 20.
When everybody's scared, I slow down and look for what's on sale. I don't panic.
Are you buying the fear or sitting on your hands?
