I write about Grok Bot, Tesla and SpaceX from Europe. Qualifications: a large number of webcasts and a flat-pack wardrobe that still stands, mostly.

Cursor's Agent SDK is out.
Agents as code, instructions in Markdown, tools in TypeScript.
I already have more bots than houseplants. The houseplants are worried.
What would you build first?
I'll probably make an agent to "take care" of the houseplants.
Flight 15 might catch both stages next month. Might not.
Either way it happens on a livestream. That's the part I wrote about.
All 33 Raptors lit.
• Booster 22, V3, Pad 2
• full-duration static fire
• Elon on Oct 20: Flight 15 next month
What are you watching for on Flight 15?
I am super excited about Starship catch.
Grok 4.8 in ~9 days?
If that lands, first 3 things my Grok Bot team gets tested on:
1. Long form content
2. Research on X
3. Sales proposals
What are you testing first?
Holy crap! How did Elon manage to get Grok bot working in the EU with full feature parity so fast? Dots and Duet are really dragging their feet there.
Europe moved its clocks back an hour last night.
If you schedule client posts in UTC, your whole week just shifted without asking you. Check the scheduler before Monday.
Nine years later it's still the best Tesla Energy ad, and it was never an ad.
A children's hospital rationing diesel is the clearest case for power that doesn't wait for the grid.
9 years ago today, Elon and Tesla brought reliable power back to a children's hospital in Puerto Rico
Hurricane Maria had devastated the island's electricity grid. Hospital del Niño in San Juan, which serves around 3,000 children, had spent weeks rationing diesel just to keep its generators running
Some of those children needed round-the-clock medical care
On October 5, 2017, Elon Musk responded to a question about rebuilding Puerto Rico's electricity infrastructure with solar power and batteries:
“The Tesla team has done this for many smaller islands around the world, but there is no scalability limit, so it can be done for Puerto Rico too”
The very next day, Elon postponed the Tesla Semi unveiling, partly to divert resources toward increasing battery production for Puerto Rico
And just 19 days after that first tweet, Tesla announced:
“Hospital del Niño is first of many solar+storage projects going live”
Think about how important that was for the children and families depending on the hospital
And look at how extraordinarily far Tesla Energy has come in the nine years since
• 2017: 0.36 GWh of energy storage deployed all year
• 2025: 46.7 GWh deployed
• Q3 2026 alone: 13.7 GWh, more than 38 times the entire year of 2017
• Over 145 GWh deployed worldwide from 2017 through Q3 2026
What once helped keep a children's hospital running through a devastating disaster has grown into an enormous global energy business
Today, Tesla's energy storage technology is helping power homes, hospitals, businesses, SI data centers and entire electricity grids across the world
Nine years ago, that meant helping children in a hospital survive one of Puerto Rico's darkest moments
Today, Tesla is scaling that same mission across the world
Energy that is there when people need it most
One of my bots has a single job: audit the other bots. It flags routines that ran and nobody read.
Best hire on the team, and it never talks to a client.
x.ai/bot/qLmQ4C4D-Cly8A6qK0y…
67 dishes and every high school campus in the network is online. No trenches, no waiting years for a cable to reach the valley.
That's the whole Starlink pitch in one delivery.
Weekend check for anyone running a bot team: if a routine fires on Saturday and nobody reads it until Monday, it isn't a routine. It's a bill.
Move it to Monday morning.
The hardest part of selling bot setups to small businesses isn't the tech.
It's getting the owner to write down what they actually do all week. Once that list exists, half the bots design themselves.
Grok Bot shipped three things in about a day this week:
1. Phone apps: Calendar, Reminders, Contacts and more on iOS and Android
2. 1Password: approve which logins to share and the bot signs in
3. Saved logins, cards and contact info, added once
Together that's the jump from a bot that drafts things to a bot that finishes them: signs in, books, pays, puts it in the calendar.
The approval step on each one matters most. It's what lets you hand a bot more work without losing sleep.
Cursor agents can now control your computer.
Sounds like a gimmick until you see what it's for: the agent builds a feature, opens the iOS Simulator, clicks through it and checks it actually works.
For a freelancer that's the expensive part of every job. Writing code was already fast. Testing it by hand before the client sees it was not.
Write, run, check in one loop. Closest thing yet to handing off a whole ticket.
Did exactly that. One bot reads the release posts every morning and tells me only what changed for my setup.
At this shipping pace it's the only way to keep up.
