BREAKING: SpaceX is expanding again at Starlink’s facility in Bastrop, Texas. A new state filing shows a $7 million project to renovate 56,000 square feet of office and lobby space. Construction is expected to begin in September 2026 and finish in September 2027.

ELON MUSK ON BUILDING A “STAR MIND” POWERED BY THE SUN “We’ve already built the most powerful AI training clusters in the world. And then what we expect to do by the end of next year is about 10 times more than what we’ve done thus far. This will be very important practice for space AI. And I do think that AI training will continue to be on the ground, but AI inference, the day-to-day use of AI, will be in space. So we’re aiming to get to 10 gigawatts by the end of next year. This is depending on what the value per watt is. If the value per watt is probably going to be $30 to $50, which means if we bring 10 gigawatts of AI online by the end of next year, it will be $300 to $500 billion a year in revenue. Big numbers. And sometimes I wonder, what is our purpose? And it could be that the purpose of humanity is to give birth to a star mind, a sentient sun. I don’t know what the AI is going to think about, honestly. It’s a lot of compute. But I guess this is the next step in the evolution of a civilization, is to harness the power of the sun. There was a physicist called Kardashev who argued that you could consider any given civilization on the basis of whether it has been able to harness most of the power of its planet, or most of the power of its sun, or most of the power of its galaxy, and beyond. So that’s what’s going to happen. And we’re going to do it. The factory for star mind will be located nearby, adjacent to us, basically. They just come from space.”

🚨 NEW GROK BUILD UPDATE 🚨 v1.0.1 — 2026-08-10 Updates: • /rewind now only truncates conversation history instead of files as well and asks for confirmation by default. • Managed MCP servers are now only available through the gateway catalog. Features: • Subagent spawning is now bounded; wide fan-outs queue instead of exhausting file descriptors. • New grok du command shows disk usage of ~/.grok including worktrees and sessions. • Tools now report whether they only read data, enabling safer restricted agents and subagents. • Sandbox workspace sessions can now limit which bundled skills are advertised via caller config. • Renaming a session from the dashboard now starts with the current title prefilled for easy editing. • /usage, /session-info, and /context now open in a tabbed modal instead of adding text to the conversation. • grok trace exports now bundle memory trace files for easier debugging. • Session rename now enforces a 100-character limit, ghost-prefills the current title, and preserves manual titles across machines. • New /rename --auto command unpins a manual session title so automatic titling resumes. • Video generation from references now supports preset voices, single-image input, 1–15 s durations, and 4:3 / 3:4 aspect ratios. Bug Fixes: • Sandbox config entries ending in /** now correctly grant the parent directory instead of creating a literal ** subdirectory. • Failed alpha/enterprise updates now suggest the matching GROK_CHANNEL reinstall command. • On Apple Silicon, grok now installs the native arm64 build even from a Rosetta shell or x86_64 updater. • Skills that share names with built-in commands now appear alongside them in the slash menu with qualified names. • Notebook permission rules imported from Claude configs are now ignored with a warning instead of applying broadly. • Goal evaluation at round end no longer fails due to timeouts. • Tool timeouts no longer cause the agent to hang when child processes are stuck in D-state or hold pipes open. • Home and End keys now move to the start or end of the current logical line even when the prompt is wrapped. • Worktree sessions now correctly show their branch in the status bar. • Worktree sessions now keep their status correctly when switching directories or resuming. • Worktree status is no longer lost when opening the dashboard. • Recaps are now written in the same language as your conversation. • Plugin suggestions no longer flash incorrectly while typing. • Send Now now works during active goals without cancelling the goal. • Headless sessions now correctly wait for MCP servers when using delivery tools. • Non-interactive sessions (grok -p) no longer fail when the agent asks for user input or plan approval. • read_file errors for missing skills now suggest the correct registered path instead of a generic hint. • Session load and creation can no longer freeze forever when .envrc evaluation blocks. • Upgraded installs no longer silently run outdated platform skill instructions. • Deleting a session now properly stops and waits for any running subagents before wiping history. • Permission and plan-approval notification hooks no longer fire on auto-allowed tools. • Mid-turn steering sent with double-Enter or Ctrl+Enter now correctly tells the model it arrived while work was in progress. • Scrollback drag selection no longer gets stuck after the mouse button is released outside VS Code or Cursor terminals. • Video generation tools now show a clear error explaining ZDR storage requirements instead of silently disappearing. • Esc on the cancel-turn panel now closes the panel and keeps the current turn running as the shortcuts bar indicates.

Tesla app just crossed 10 million monthly active users for the first time 🔥 → 10.8M users in July, a new all-time high → +16.49% month over month → +36.8% year over year

ELON MUSK: "You should be able to have a Starlink, like you have an AT&T or T-Mobile or Verizon or whatever, you could have an account with Starlink that works with your Starlink antenna at home with free Wi-Fi as well as on your phone. We're not going to put the other carriers out of business. They're still going to be around because they own a lot of spectrum. It will allow SpaceX to deliver high bandwidth connectivity directly from the satellites to the phones, but there are hardware changes that need to happen in the phone. You should be able to watch videos anywhere on your phone."
