Grok is good at predictions
Grok accurately predicted that Spain would win the FIFA World Cup 🏆 Here’s how it arrived at the prediction: Before the 2026 FIFA World Cup even began, Grok picked Spain to become champion Back in April, it analyzed betting odds, prediction markets and supercomputer forecasts, concluding that Spain had the highest probability of winning Months later... Spain lifted the World Cup trophy A great example of Grok combining multiple independent signals to identify the most likely outcome before the tournament even began Grok is once again proving exceptionally strong at prediction and forecasting

Elon Musk: “The biggest mistake I've made is to put too much weighting on somebody's talent and not enough on their personality. It actually matters whether somebody has a good heart.”

"A guy looked at my airplane the other day and said I wonder how many people I could have fed for the price of that airplane... I replied I am not sure, it fed a lot of families at the Dassault factory where it was built. I’m sure it fed a bunch of families that rolled the aluminum at the Alcoa factory. It surely fed a lot of people at the Honeywell factory where the experts built the turbines. It fed a whole company for a few weeks when I had them build me a new interior. It feeds the families of the linemen that fuel it. That’s the difference between capitalism and a welfare mentality. When you buy something, you put money in people's pockets, and give them dignity for their skills. When you give someone something for nothing, you rob them of their dignity and self worth. Capitalism is freely giving your money in exchange for something of value. Socialism is taking your money against your will and shoving something down your throat that you never asked for."

You often hear people say that without the help of US taxpayers, people in other countries won’t be able to eat, have access to medical care, etc. While it’s great that the US provides assistance to those in need in times of natural disaster, war, and political instability we should be careful not to create over-dependency on US taxpayers to survive. What may seem like an act of kindness can actually harm people quite a bit if the policies continue long term. For example giving free food to people in poverty worldwide might seem nice, but if you undermine the local market for produce and farmers can’t make money because food is being given away for free, you’re actually undermining the country’s ability to develop and support itself long term. Instead they become dependent on US taxpayers. And when politics change, or the US goes through financial issues, those people are at risk. Aid should be focused on building up local economies so people can eventually feed themselves. If people have absolutely nothing to eat without help from US taxpayers, something is seriously wrong.

Try Grok 4.5
I’m running Fable, K3, 5.6 and 4.5 like 10 hours a day and they are all sick. At work, at home. I have subscriptions for many of them at both locations. But you know which model legit doesn’t get enough hype? GROK. I’m so serious. Even on 𝕏 it doesn’t get enough hype cause we assume oh yeah it’s Elon’s network of course they are gonna hype grok. But I don’t care about benchmarks. It absolutely crushes in usefulness and im quickly using it more and more. It gets the job done well, and fast, and it doesn't spend all day thinking about nothing. But its not just fast and cheap. Sometimes it WORKS BETTER than 5.6 or even Fable. Check this. I told Grok and Codex to help design a level that I could dynamically spawn some quest monsters and players on using the level tools available for my game. Sol on max settings took forever to put out garbage and Grok's level was pretty sick right away. I have many other dramatic cases of Grok outperforming so called frontier models on genuinely useful tasks. I can’t wait for the 2 parameter model.

On this day in 1918 the Bolsheviks herded Tsar Nicholas II, Empress Alexandra, and their five children into a basement in Yekaterinburg and opened fire. The bullets bounced because the girls had diamonds sewn into their corsets. So the reds finished the job with bayonets, stabbing, crushing skulls, and butchering the children while they were still alive. Then they stripped the bodies, doused them in acid, burned what remained, and dumped the remains in a forest to hide the crime. This was the deliberate, sadistic murder of an entire family, including a sick little boy, by communist animals who needed the blood of innocents to cement their power. Never forget what the Bolsheviks were. Never forgive it.

The beginning of the Megacharger network Build-out is focused on the most important Semi routes and depots first. Follow our progress here: tesla.com/findus?bounds=40.0… For Semi customers who can install Megachargers or Basechargers at their depots, we recommend installing their own infrastructure too for the most efficient use of their fleet. Especially in California, Washington, Oregon, and Canada - private Semi Charging for Business financials are super attractive right now. Get in touch: tesla.com/semi-charging-for-…
