Zambia has started connecting 751 health facilities across all 10 provinces with Starlink, and the first 90 kits went to Western Province.
There's something poetic about where they started. Every year at the end of the rainy season the upper Zambezi floods the Barotse plain, and for centuries the Lozi king has left his compound at Lealui by royal barge and moved to higher ground at Limulunga. The ceremony is called Kuomboka. In Lozi it means "to get out of water."
Now picture running fiber or building towers across land that turns into a lake for part of every year. A Starlink dish only needs a clear view of the sky, so the water below stops being the problem.
In March 2020, months before Starlink had its first beta users, Elon Musk said it would serve the 3 or 4 percent hardest-to-reach customers, people with no connectivity or really bad connectivity. Six years later, with funding from the Global Fund through Zambia's Ministry of Health, clinics on one of Africa's great floodplains are being brought into the country's electronic health systems from orbit.

SpaceX is building a supercomputer near Brownsville, Texas.
The first job on site was cleaning up sixty years of other people's trash.
Scrap metal, rusting tanks, old appliances and thousands of illegal tires, hauled out of the mud.
Think about that for a second.
This site will train frontier AI for medical research, emergency response, advanced manufacturing and national security.
It will make its own electricity, so the neighbors' power bills stay their own.
SpaceX is also putting $220 million into Brownsville's water and wastewater system, adding 20 million gallons of capacity every day for the city.
More than 3,000 construction jobs already, with more than 500 permanent ones to come.
Elon Musk summed it up in three words: "SpaceX community benefits."
A company spends $15 billion on Starship and another $24 billion on a supercomputer in one corner of Texas when it plans to stay for decades.
Elon Musk builds the place up first, because he believes the future will be built right there.

Development of the Starbase supercompute site is creating an opportunity to address decades of environmental neglect.
Portions of the property were used for unauthorized dumping dating back to the 1960s. We're undertaking cleanup efforts to remove decades of accumulated debris, including scrap metal, discarded appliances, old tanks, fiberglass insulation, construction materials, and thousands of illegally dumped tires

And yet again.
I ask my family:
Did you see or hear about what is going on in the world?
One answer keeps coming:
NO.
If you aren’t on X, i
You oblivious to what is going on in the world.
@KanekoaTheGreat And yet again it happens
Elon is a builder
Elon is a giver
Elon is a gift
Elon is a Hero
Il a prouvé qu’on pouvait envoyer des fusées sans Gosplan. Construire des voitures sans la bénédiction de Detroit. Relier un village, un front ou un hôpital depuis l’orbite, sans demander l’autorisation d’un ministère. Il a racheté la place publique et arraché le monopole de ceux qui décidaient qui avait le droit de parler.

Have you noticed how far X has come?
It's no longer just the #1# news platform.
Look at the features stacking up: Grok, native video, long-form, Communities, payments, live...
The everything app is here.

Tesla’s predictive navigation just hit different.
I woke up in the car, about to say “Hey Grok, take me to the gym”… and before I could even ask, Tesla already suggested the gym as my #1# destination based on my driving history and routine.
Didn’t type anything. Didn’t say anything. It just knew.
This feature that learns your common stops is actually super useful.
