AI didn’t start with ChatGPT. From ancient dreams of intelligent machines to neural networks, Grok, and the race toward Super Intelligence, this is the story of how humanity got here. The history of AI, from the beginning to what comes next.

Dear Elon Musk @elonmusk, I am reaching out to you as a Nigerian who is deeply concerned about the direction of my country under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the APC. Millions of Nigerians are battling hunger, poverty, unemployment, and unbearable living costs. People struggle to afford food and transportation while our political leaders continue to enjoy the privileges of power. Even more disturbing is Nigeria's worsening insecurity. Boko Haram and ISWAP, alongside other armed groups, continue to kill innocent people, kidnap citizens, and displace families. Christians have suffered deadly attacks, churches have been targeted, and farming communities have been devastated. Nigerians are asking a simple question: what is the purpose of government if it cannot protect human life? Those responsible for these atrocities must be stopped, and the government must be held accountable for its failures. Many Nigerians, particularly supporters of Peter Obi and the Obidient Movement, believe our democracy has failed to deliver the leadership and accountability our country desperately needs. Concerns about electoral credibility, corruption, political intimidation, and the treatment of opposition supporters must not be ignored. I am asking you to urge President Donald Trump to impose targeted sanctions on APC leaders and government officials credibly implicated in corruption, electoral manipulation, political violence, human rights abuses, or complicity in serious security failures. These should include asset freezes and visa restrictions where supported by credible evidence and applicable law. Nigerians must not continue to suffer while those responsible for serious abuses enjoy international privileges. Political power should never be a shield against accountability. I also believe Nigeria represents a significant opportunity for your ecosystem. Millions of Nigerians are young, ambitious, technologically curious, and eager for a better future. Many are already on X, and more could benefit from Starlink's internet connectivity, Tesla's electric vehicles, and the innovations emerging across your companies. If you stand firmly for accountability, free expression, and the right of ordinary Nigerians to demand better leadership, you could earn the trust of many Nigerians who share these values. I would encourage well-meaning Nigerians to support products and services across your ecosystem and contribute to its growth as opportunities and affordability allow. This is not a request to choose Nigeria's president for us. That responsibility belongs to Nigerians. It is a call to stand for democratic accountability and against impunity, regardless of which party is in power. Nigeria needs genuine political competition, credible elections, competent leadership, and a government that puts its people first. Peter Obi represents that hope for many of us. Elon, I urge you to raise Nigeria's situation with President Trump and push for concrete action against officials credibly implicated in serious wrongdoing. Nigeria's people deserve better. Our lives matter, our democracy matters, and those who abuse their power must face consequences. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, A Nigerian citizen advocating for accountability, democratic change, and a better future for Nigeria.

Tesla auto revenue down 3%. Energy down 16%. Stock down 14% this year. For me, I've never been more bullish. Judging Tesla on car sales in 2026 is like judging Apple on iPod sales in 2010. Be smarter.

I trust Grok Bot with ALL my finances. Now, all 5 of my credit cards are saved in the vault. People think I’m crazy to do so... but if you think about it, people hand their credit card to a random waiter all the time and watch it disappear into the back. For me, I'd rather have mine secured by the smartest AI in the world. This is why I do it. 1/ One text to buy anything. I bought my kids 2 Garmin watches, a DribbleUp smart ball and an Ollyball without ever opening a website. 2/ Flights and hotels booked for me. No digging for a card, no typing numbers into 6 checkout pages. 3/ Amazon orders handled with one text. 4/ I just say "put it on the United card" or "use the Apple Card" and it does. FYI the bot never sees the full number or the security code. It securely remembers them, and I specifically approve what gets bought. Once, you add your cards once, you’ll never have to pull out your wallet again. This is how everyone is going to live soon imo.

I haven’t earned a dime from 𝕏 revenue sharing or Original Content Rewards, despite paying for Premium and consistently creating content. My reach isn’t where I want it to be, and my subscription is almost expiring. Renewing it is a challenge right now. But I still love technology. I love Elon, Tesla, Starlink, SpaceX, Neuralink, 𝕏, SpaceXSI, and the future they’re working to build. I want to keep sharing what excites me about these things, educating people, and contributing to conversations about the future. I’m not going to pretend the lack of earnings doesn’t hurt. It does. But my interest in technology goes beyond monetisation. I hope the opportunity eventually works out for creators like me, too. Until then, I’m still rooting for the people building things that can change humanity.

Today I received my biggest payout ever on 𝕏, and it honestly brought tears to my eyes... happy ones. It just came through Original Content Rewards and when it landed in my account, I kept thinking about why I started all of this. I love Tesla, I love Elon, I love SpaceX, technology, investing, and life. I love meeting people, hearing what they think, and sharing the things I’m truly excited about. That’s Teslaconomics. It’s me sharing what I love with people who want to talk about it too... For anyone wondering how it works, 𝕏’s Original Content Rewards pays creators in the program for their own posts, photos, videos, and commentary. Earnings are based on qualifying views from Premium subscribers in their home feeds. Your own experiences, what you’ve learned, and the perspective you bring can all be part of that. I think that’s an incredible opportunity for anyone in the world. Something you already spend your time learning about and talking about can become something you earn from. You see, A LOT of people told me I was wasting my time on 𝕏... even people close to me. These things stay with you, even if you try to forget about it. You care so much about something, you see something in it, and people you care about tell you to quit it or they don't like something you're doing. I kept going bc I loved it... I wanted to share what I was seeing, both positives and negatives. And remember, I was always that kid in the back who nobody really noticed. I've been doubted my entire life. I know what it feels like to be overlooked and ignored. That’s why I’ll always root for the underdog. Now I get to do something I truly love, from anywhere in the world, on my own time... I get to decide what I want to talk about, what I want to create, and how I spend my day. That freedom is everything to me. And to be honest, I would 100% do this for free. I really mean that. I’d still be following these companies, investing, trying things, meeting people, and talking about all of it on the internet. I don’t need a payout to keep loving something I already love... but seeing that payment today meant a lot to me. It made me think about how far this has come, the people I’ve met along the way, and how glad I am that I kept doing it. Thank you, Elon, and thank you to the 𝕏 team for giving creators this opportunity. Thank you to the teams at Tesla, SpaceX, and the companies I follow for building things that give me so much to be excited about. And thank you to everyone who has supported me. Everyone who takes a little time out of their day to read, watch, or have a conversation with me. You’re a huge part of why I love being here, event the ones that may not like me. If someone is telling you that you can’t, I hope my story gives you a reason to keep going. You can.

Elon Musk has said that if evil people hate you, you might be doing something right. The line is short. It separates criticism that tracks results from criticism that tracks opposition to the results. Elon has applied similar distinctions to coverage of his companies: some objections name a failed test or a missed date; others name the existence of the company or the person running it. The practical test he implies is whether the objection disappears when the object works. A rocket that returns or a car that drives changes the set of available complaints. Persistent objections that do not update with the object are the category the line points at. The statement does not claim every critic is evil. It claims that certain kinds of sustained opposition are information about the work rather than information about a flaw in the work.

SpaceX made $4.4B in Q3 profit but is still down $413M for the year. Why? Depreciation, mostly GPUs, cost $8.9B on paper, almost double last year, as it buys GPUs at insane speed. Good news is compute demand is so strong that even H100s from years ago still command a premium. They’ll be fine.

Elon, here are 12 ideas that could help bring billions of people to 𝕏 over time. – 1. Turn shared links into a growth engine: Let anyone view public posts without an account. When they want to reply, follow someone, or join a conversation, offer a simple sign-up process that takes them straight back to the original post. – 2. Introduce post tipping: Add a tip button to posts so users can reward valuable insights, original ideas, and quality content. Make tipping simple, with transparent fees and payouts available worldwide. – 3. Create more ways to earn: Add an Earn tab where users can discover legitimate paid research tasks, online gigs, and other opportunities to make money using their skills. – 4. Improve creator monetization: Give creators more ways to earn through subscriptions, tips, and rewards for valuable content, even if they don't have millions of followers. – 5. Make 𝕏 Premium affordable worldwide: Introduce regional pricing that reflects local purchasing power, making subscriptions accessible to more people. – 6. Expand global payments: Support more local payment methods and currencies, allowing users to pay for services, support creators, and receive their earnings in more countries. – 7. Build a freelance marketplace: Add a dedicated Freelance tab where people can find jobs, offer services, showcase their portfolios, and connect with clients. Include categories such as data analysis, programming, graphic design, writing, and video editing, with secure payments and client reviews. – 8. Turn 𝕏 into a learning platform: Create a Learn tab featuring practical courses, tutorials, expert-led lessons, and AI tutors that help users develop valuable skills. – 9. Make Grok a business-building tool: Let users leverage AI/SI to develop ideas, create products, build websites, automate tasks, and launch businesses directly from 𝕏. – 10. Help small businesses grow: Provide a business dashboard where companies can advertise, showcase products, communicate with customers, process orders, and track sales. – 11. Improve global accessibility: Expand language translation, support more languages, and optimize 𝕏 for people using affordable devices and slower internet connections. – 12. Create a jobs and opportunities tab: Help users discover full-time jobs, remote work, internships, scholarships, and business opportunities, with filters for location, skills, and experience. Elon, combine these ideas with 𝕏’s strengths in real-time information, video, messaging, and AI/SI. Don’t just make 𝕏 a place where billions consume content. Make it a place where they learn, find opportunities, build businesses, and earn money. Give people practical reasons to join 𝕏, stay on the platform, and invite others.

🚨 JUST IN: Starlink just saved two people trapped on a Jeep in a rising river. No cell signal. They had a Starlink dish and a battery pack. Called for help, shared their location. Helicopter lifted them out. The rescue team said the call likely saved their lives. The product works when the towers don’t. Same terminals that keep farms and planes online keep people alive when the water is rising. The connection is the difference. The dish was already there.

Dear Elon Musk @elonmusk , I am reaching out to you as a Ukrainian who has been personally persecuted by President Volodymyr Zelensky for criticizing his government’s corruption and the forced mobilization of ordinary people to the front lines, while, as I allege, members of his own family have not been mobilized or sent to fight. You are absolutely right about how Ukraine’s political elite, which has maintained ties with George Soros for decades, is profiting from the war alongside certain Western elites. As a man of integrity, you could help bring an end to this war by recommending one concrete measure to U.S. President Donald Trump—one that could help pave the way for a genuine peace-oriented political movement to come to power in Ukraine and prevent more Ukrainians from losing their lives. That measure is the introduction of U.S. sanctions against what I call Ukraine’s “war party”: the political establishment that continues to enrich itself through the war while resisting a peaceful settlement. These sanctions should include freezing their assets and bank accounts in the United States and internationally, targeting their cryptocurrency holdings, and revoking their U.S. visas, including those held by their family members where legally justified. While ordinary Ukrainians are being sent to their deaths, the families of senior officials continue to enjoy comfortable lives abroad. For example, the family of Rustem Umerov, a close associate of Zelensky, reportedly resides in the United States, including his brother. The same concerns apply to those commonly referred to as Soros-backed activists and grant-funded organizations. Many individuals associated with these circles have reportedly received exemptions from mobilization under the current Ukrainian government, while publicly advocating for the continuation of the war and opposing both you and President Trump. I believe targeted U.S. sanctions against those responsible for prolonging the conflict and profiting from it could help undermine the financial interests sustaining the war and create stronger incentives for peace. I would also urge you to ask President Trump to raise the issue of political prisoners with Zelensky and demand the release of those imprisoned for their political views, calls for peace, and support for Donald Trump. Among them are Ukrainian MP Yevhen Shevchenko and Oleksandr Dubinsky, who, according to their supporters, have spent more than three years in detention because of their criticism of the pro-war political establishment and their advocacy for peace. These individuals represent voices calling for peace in Ukraine, yet they have been silenced through imprisonment. Their cases deserve serious international attention and scrutiny. I, too, was forced to leave Ukraine because of threats, as have many other Ukrainians who feared for their safety. President Trump should finally stand up for Ukraine’s genuine political opposition—not the nominal opposition represented in the Verkhovna Rada today, which, in my view, largely supports the same pro-war establishment. Ukraine needs a real political alternative, one that puts peace, human life, democratic freedoms, and the country’s future ahead of the interests of those who benefit from a prolonged conflict. If you are interested in learning more, I would be glad to provide detailed information, supporting materials, and further context. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, A Ukrainian citizen advocating for peace and democratic change

The Biden administration lost over 200,000 manufacturing jobs in its final two years, according to the White House. Now, manufacturing employment is up 72,000 in 2026, and construction workers' wages are reportedly up $2,800. Democrats love claiming to represent the working class. But when factory jobs disappear, workers don't pay their bills with political slogans.

Fort Bend County just greenlit the incentives for Tesla’s proposed $10.1 billion Project Crystal Sun solar cell and module plant. Teslanorth the package (approved 4-0 Thursday) covers tax abatements, a Chapter 381 agreement, foreign-trade-zone terms, and related payments. The site is roughly 3,000+ acres near Needville (FM 762 / FM 1994, south of the Brazos River). Tesla’s filings project ~9,700–10,000 permanent jobs by 2033, production targeted for early 2029 if the company selects the location. It is still evaluating other sites; state sign-offs are also required.

Elon Musk on Joe Rogan explains why he's concerned about the Voluntary Human Extinction Movement and its influence on society. Elon Musk: “If AI gets programmed by the extinctionists, its utility function will be the extinction of humanity.” Musk argues that environmentalism becomes dangerous when people start treating humanity itself as the problem. He warns that giving people with that mindset control over AI could have serious consequences.
