please please please give me a Grok @bot phone. There are so many things I would build on that. Unified messaging would be the first. One place... all my messages from "John Smith" whether they came from X, IG, Whatsapp, Signal, etc.
I would happily drop my iPhone for a phone that simply was more open to SI-driven enhancements...
PLEASE @elonmusk
Frequenting Thailand means deadline math: 90-day reports, stay expiry, re-entry, DTV.
So I built Thailand Visa Desk on Grok Bot. It tracks the dates, reminds you early, and cites the official source for every rule.

All 50 states would block @elonmusk from teaching a high-school physics class because he doesn’t have an arbitrary government-issued "teaching certificate." We’ve got professionals and retirees in all 50 states—engineers who built bridges, pilots who’ve flown across the world, and doctors and nurses who’ve saved lives—who would love to volunteer to teach. Yet they can’t because teachers unions have lobbied to create barriers. State governors should tear down these barriers and invite professionals and retirees into our schools to teach and inspire young Americans.

This is the greatest argument I’ve heard for why electric vehicles are better than gasoline-powered cars.
🚀 Grok-4 is mind-blowing, and xAI’s lightning-fast progress is melting my brain! 🫠

This demands insane software dev + hardware infra (like Colossus supercluster). How?!
Just a reminder…
History tells us that ancient folks, sprinkled across continents with no boat exploration to communicate with each other, all somehow agreed to make their lives utterly horrid by quarrying monster-sized stone blocks—some heavy as a house which would require machines we don’t possess today—and dragging them miles over deserts and hills to stack pyramids stupidly tall. Instead of smashing them into sane sizes like every builder since forever, they all caught the same mega-block fever, independently, many centuries before compasses or steam engines and mostly within the era of soft chisels as the peak of technology.
History! We are so smart. 🙄
I could see this coming from individuals, but from the @TheDemocrats party handle?! Sad.
(…and doing it on a distorted image)
How many more people is this party trying to alienate?! Dems need a leader. Let the voters finally choose one. It’ll have been over a decade since they’ve been able to by the next election.
2016 - rigged primaries against Bernie
2020 - rigged primaries against Bernie
2024 - insiders chose their candidate
2028 - LET THE VOTERS DECIDE

And some people think it only takes money… this (sadly) shows that even with all the money, all the people and all the data you can still fall (well) behind.
I want Apple to succeed, but at some point, even as the checks are currently rolling in, there should be accountability for leaving such a valuable business open for disruption (even if it doesn’t happen).
Apple used to at least have a “me too” like product and launch schedule. On something like AI, especially given their potential to be leaders in this space, it seems unconscionable to be in this place.
🙌 Go @DOGE Go! 👏
In a sign of the times, uncovering how taxpayer dollars, OUR money, is being wasted has become politicized.
There are those that are being critical of @DOGE for finding and stopping small budget items, like unused paid Teams licenses, because it’s not a big enough savings relative to the deficit.
This argument baffles me. I’m glad they are getting into the minutia to uncover even thousands of dollars of waste. It lets me know they are leaving no stone unturned. In business, I would not only CELEBRATE someone for that level of thoroughness, but would be looking for it specifically, in order to determine if an assignment was likely to have been given proper diligence.
It’s important to be critical of what our government does, including the @DOGE effort, but arguing with super obvious savings seems very disconnected.
Find every penny… or maybe now it’s every nickel.
🙌 Go @DOGE Go! 👏
