Jan 27: Renamed Moltbot (possibly the worst renaming ever) after Anthropic trademark complaint
Jan 29: Renamed
@OpenClaw (thank GOODNESS!), blog confirms 100k stars milestone
Early Feb: Hits 145k–149k stars 20k forks
Feb 11: Steinberger notes 180k people starred the repo
Feb 12: Steinberger on Lex Fridman podcast, shares story & vision

Absolutely INSANE!
