You do realize Elon owns X, right? Any money he gets from creator monetization is essentially X paying its own owner. 😂
This post of Elon musk has 4.8 Million views.
Tell me @grok how much money he will receive for that?

Cybertruck is DONE!
Remember Musk promising 250,000 Cybertrucks a year? Tesla sold around 20,000 in 2025.
Only 230,000 short. Almost nailed it! 😆
And now Musk says Tesla will wind down Cybertruck production in Texas by mid-2027. The factory space is going to Cybercab instead.
Apparently, they need more room. Sure, Elon. It's the factory space that's the problem. Definitely not the lack of buyers.
So the car of the future is getting pushed aside to make room for the next car of the future.
And the funniest part? We still don't know if Cybertruck is actually getting killed off or just moving to another factory.

780 people bookmarked this prompt in 2 days. almost as many as liked it (833)
i ran the same prompt through opus 5.5 and asked for amsterdam and a guy biking through the rain with a pumpkin for a head
one loop is 120 seconds. 300 loops = the 10 hour video
→ 1 html file, no libraries, no game engine
→ drawn at 480x270 and scaled exactly 4x, so it stays sharp at 1080p
→ every raindrop, spark and puff of smoke is a function of time
→ so the frame at 119.98s lines up with frame 0
→ the pumpkin is a costume. human eyes blink inside the carved holes and he waves at a black cat
→ 2 passes: empty candy bucket on the way in, full on the way back
what broke: the first render turned the canal into gibberish. window frames bent by the waves looked like random glyphs. the fix was drawing each reflection row twice, 2px apart, at lower opacity. his waving hand was also stuck behind his own pumpkin
most "loops for hours" demos never show the seam. i diffed the last frame against the first: the jump is the same size as between any two neighboring frames
add 3 lines to the original prompt:
"render at 480x270, scale 4x, no smoothing"
"every animation must divide a 120s loop, particles are pure functions of time"
"add one character with a tiny story that plays out across the loop"
which city should he ride through next?
Claude Opus 5.5 just coded this entire animated pixel art world from scratch using only TypeScript
No game engine. No static image generators. Just pure code rendering a cozy, rainy world.
Here is the exact prompt:
> "Make me an animated pixel art Halloween diorama, built to be the looping cover for a 10 hour lofi music video. Build the palette on strong warm/cold contrast: a cold, rainy night against warm pockets of firelight and glowing windows. Bring it to life with great effects: rain, fire sparks, drifting smoke and flickering light. It should look crisp full screen at 1080p and loop smoothly for hours."
How it actually works under the hood:
> Written entirely in TypeScript in about 10 minutes
> Renders complex atmospheric loops: rain particles, lightning flashes, smoke, firelight, and a skeleton relaxing under an umbrella
> Can hook into Sprite Fusion API or MCP to generate and animate custom game sprites on demand
Give an LLM TypeScript and a pixel grid, and it stops being a text chatbot
It becomes an ambient studio

Thirty million people have watched a Harvard psychiatrist accidentally destroy the entire self-help industry.
He gave the talk once in 2015. It took 75 years of data to write it.
Americans spend $12 billion a year on self-improvement. Harvard tracked 724 men for 75 years and gave the answer away in 12 minutes.
His name is Robert Waldinger. He is the fourth director of the Harvard Study of Adult Development, which may be the longest study of adult life ever done.
Since 1938, it has followed two groups of men. One started as Harvard sophomores. The other grew up in Boston's poorest neighborhoods. Some went from the bottom to the very top. Some made that journey in the opposite direction.
He opens with a survey of young adults. Over 80% said a major life goal was to get rich. 50% said to become famous.
Then he shows what 75 years of real lives say about that.
"The lessons aren't about wealth or fame or working harder and harder."
His entire answer fits on a napkin.
Good relationships keep us happier and healthier. Period.
→ Loneliness kills. Connected people are happier, healthier and live longer.
→ Quality beats quantity. You can be lonely in a crowd and lonely in a marriage.
→ Good relationships protect your brain. People who can count on someone in their 80s keep sharper memories longer.
The people most satisfied with their relationships at 50 were the healthiest at 80. Not the ones with the best cholesterol. Not the richest.
Most people are optimizing for the 80% goal. Money first, people later. Harvard watched 724 lives play out and the scoreboard says the opposite.
The study is free. The talk is free on YouTube.
The data is free. Calling the friend you've been meaning to call is the entire edge.

€984 MILLION PRINTED. 6.7 BILLION HOURS WATCHED.
The Professor built a plan to beat the financial system.
But the actor behind him knows that money plays by very different rules in real life.
In Money Heist, Álvaro Morte plays the mastermind who leads a team into Spain's Royal Mint to print €984 million.
The plan? Create their own money instead of stealing someone else's.
The series became a global phenomenon, eventually accumulating billions of viewing hours on Netflix.
But in a real interview, Morte points to something less glamorous about the entertainment industry.
American productions have access to financial resources that smaller Spanish productions often don't.
And those budgets buy more than expensive cameras or bigger sets.
They buy time.
Time to develop scripts. Time to solve problems. Time to get things right.
On screen, The Professor controlled the money.
Behind the camera, money controls how much time creators get.
And sometimes, that's the difference between an ambitious idea and a finished production.
Can a brilliant story beat a production with a budget 10 times bigger?

Five people stranded in the snowy mountains of Kazakhstan could have been left without help.
A broken SUV, freezing temperatures, and absolutely no mobile signal.
But Starlink transmitted their SOS and helped rescuers locate them. A 100 km journey on an all-terrain vehicle — and all five were brought to safety.
This is what technology with real value looks like.
Meanwhile, with my mobile carrier, I’m afraid to even leave the house. 💀

What’s the point of making a new “Twitter”?
When X already has:
• millions of active and interesting people,
• Grok right in the feed,
• real monetization (Premium, ads, creators),
• and the whole infrastructure that’s been working for years.
The new project (Tweet.app) is still just a small paid “replica” of old Twitter. Even if they add monetization through subscriptions, without a critical mass of users and without everything X already has, the chances of real success look very modest.
People won’t switch in large numbers just because “the bird is blue” and they’re called “tweets.” They’re already used to X.
And if the new service doesn’t offer proper monetization for creators, it’ll just stay a niche club of a few thousand people.
Maybe I’m wrong. But right now it looks more like an attempt to sell nostalgia for money than a real alternative.
जल्दी ही ट्विटर नाम से एक ऐप आने वाला है जो X को टक्कर देगा,
जिससे एलन Musk काफी डरे हुए हैं @grok पूरा मामला क्या है !!

In 2022, AEG paid Justin Bieber $40M upfront for his Justice World Tour. He ended the tour early, and AEG wanted $26M back.
HYBE, the company Scooter Braun ran, covered the bill. Justin agreed to repay it over 10 years, but reportedly made only one payment.
Just weeks later, he sold his 291-song catalog to Hipgnosis for about $200M.
Then the argument began over who owed whom.
His business manager, Lou Taylor, said Scooter had taken $26M too much in commissions. HYBE's internal audit said Justin owed roughly $1M. PwC spent six months on it and landed on $8.8M.
In July 2025, they settled. Justin pays back the full $26M plus half of $11M in back commissions, about $31.5M in total.
TMZ reported the $200M was already gone.

“The most lucrative skill has always been capturing attention. If nobody knows who you are or what you offer, how in the world are they going to pay you?”
This is the core idea of Dan Koe’s article. He argues that as job security declines, more and more people are turning to personal brands, and those who can systematically capture and hold attention (instead of just chasing one-off viral posts) become the most valuable people in the market.
Key points from the article:
• Social media is where attention (and money) lives right now.
• Instead of constantly chasing virality, you need to build a world of content that people want to keep exploring.
• The strongest position today is becoming a “one-person creative team”: brand strategist, content strategist, and content creator all in one (for yourself or for clients).
• AI helps, but without strategy, a unique voice, and a deep understanding of the brand, it only creates noise.
• The best way to land your first clients is the “permissionless apprentice” approach: do high-quality work for free and put it in front of the right people.
In short: attention → trust → money. Everything else is secondary

Musk is holding on to X despite the criticism, the regulators and the politicians.
His core argument, if you believe the viral retellings: "Who decides which opinions are right?"
It's an uncomfortable question, because nobody can answer it without becoming the censor.
So here's one for you: are you for free speech, or for free speech for your own side?

How to spot the AI bubble for $0
Amazon spent $75.9B on capex in a single quarter, mostly on AWS and AI
The game: where the money goes in, where it comes out
first steps:
•go to: sec. gov/edgar
•open Amazon's latest 10-Q
•find the Cash Flow Statement
•compare "Purchases of property and equipment" with "Net cash provided by operating activities"
What not to do: don't count capex as a loss. it's a bet on demand that hasn't arrived yet
everyone watches AI revenue. watch how much they burned to get it
Investors love "reliable professional management". They shouldn't.
Back in 1941, Burnham argued that big systems should be run by managers, not founders. That works as long as "the car stays the car".
But the entire rocket industry spent 100 years building SINGLE-USE rockets. Then a founder from California landed one back on the ground.
A manager optimizes what exists. A founder breaks what exists.
Would you buy shares of a company with a manager at the wheel, in an industry that's about to break?

A Canadian comedian spent 4 minutes showing how the entire “thought leadership” and TED-talk industry actually works.
He walked on stage in a blazer and glasses, made a specific hand gesture, and said outright: “You know I’m a thought leader because I’m wearing a blazer, I have glasses, and I’ve just done this with my hands.”
His name is Pat Kelly. It’s a satirical sketch from the CBC show This Is That, shot as a perfect parody of the TED format.
He never hid the fact that he had nothing to say. He simply narrated every trick used by thousands of speakers:
— He walked over to his laptop because “that way everyone understands I know technology and that there will be slides. And slides make a presentation seem more legitimate than it actually is.”
— He told a story about meeting another thought leader who said “I don’t know.” Then he repeated the phrase three times, because “if you repeat it three times, it becomes important.”
— He paced the stage, changed his vocal tone, showed a picture of the planet with random text and a number on it, and asked a rhetorical question.
— All of it so the audience would believe he knew what he was talking about.
At the end he even explained how to get a standing ovation: slow down your speech, lower the volume, and look directly at the audience.
The video has millions of views. And it still works perfectly, because the formula hasn’t changed.
Public speaking coaches charge thousands of dollars for what Kelly broke down for free on a napkin in 4 minutes: form, gestures, slides, repetition, vocal tone, and confidence in emptiness.
The formula is free. The willingness to actually say something concrete is the entire difference.
Ten million people have watched a comedian accidentally destroy the entire TED talk industry.
He filmed the talk once at TEDxNewYork in 2014 and openly admitted he had nothing to say.
Speaking coaches charge $5,000 to teach the exact tricks he used in 6 minutes to say nothing at all.
His name is Will Stephen. He is a comedian from Late Night with Seth Meyers who was invited to give a real TED talk and used it to prove the format is a costume anyone can wear.
Every TED speaker opens with a question, tells a personal story, cites a scientist, and shows a chart. Stephen did all four in six minutes with zero content.
His entire formula fits on a napkin.
Gesture with both hands. Ask the audience a question anyone can answer. Tell a mildly embarrassing story so they say aww. Point to a stranger on a slide and call them important. Flash a chart of random numbers. Wear glasses with no lenses. The audience will think you are brilliant.
That last trick alone has probably cost the public speaking coaching industry a hundred million dollars in sessions clients should have skipped.
"If you watched me on YouTube with the sound off, you would think I was a genius."
That is Will Stephen on the TED stage, three minutes into the talk he was paid to give. He wasn't lying.
Executives pay $15,000 for a keynote coach and still open with a joke the room never laughs at. Founders rehearse their pitch for weeks and still sound like Stephen at minute four, saying "wagga wah, gabba gabba" with authority.
The talk is free on YouTube. The method is written across every TED speaker's playbook for ten years.
Stephen still writes for Seth Meyers. Almost none of the ten million viewers have stopped nodding at empty slides since.
The formula is free. The willingness to actually say something before your next keynote, pitch, or townhall is the entire edge.
