Elon Musk on 3 Years of X, OpenAI Lawsuit, and the 'Supersonic Tsunami' of AI (founderboat.com)

To mark three years since buying Twitter (now X), Elon Musk spent 90 minutes outlining how he’s remaking the platform and pushing AI deeper into its core. He described a cleaned-up company and a move from heuristic ranking to a Grok model that will “literally read everything” posted, with an ambition to process and categorize ~100 million posts per day to enable semantic search and AI-curated “Following” feeds. Musk acknowledged a recent amplification bug and positioned Grok as the engine behind Grokipedia — a “maximally truth-seeking” variant trained to cycle through the million most-popular Wikipedia articles to add, edit, and contextualize content across the web, plus future AI-produced explanatory videos. The technical implication: huge ingest and continual-update pipelines, aggressive automated curation, and renewed challenges around hallucination, provenance, moderation and scale. He also revisited corporate fights and AI governance: an ongoing lawsuit alleging OpenAI violated founding, non-profit/open-source commitments and a push to secure ~25% voting power at Tesla to protect its robotics roadmap. On autonomy, Musk confirmed Tesla’s Cyber Cab enters production in Q2 next year, advocating no consumer steering wheel and stressing cautious deployment. Framing AI as a “supersonic tsunami,” he reiterated existential safety concerns and argued for solar-powered infrastructure as the pragmatic long-term energy solution — signaling continued tension between rapid commercialization and safety/ethics debates in AI.
