World waking up to the power of recording work conversations
Most work conversations are now being recorded by default. You should probably assume that everything you say at work is getting recorded from here on out.
What’s emerging is a new category of enterprise software, organized around voice instead of text.
The system of record today is structured data: CRM entries, tickets, docs. But the highest-value context lives in conversation: the nuance on a customer call, the real argument in a product review, the offhand comment in a leadership meeting that quietly changes the roadmap.
LLMs are uniquely good at taking that unstructured voice data and making it structured, searchable, and queryable. That’s a large enterprise opportunity, and we’re still early in understanding what the software layer looks like and who owns it.

Great startups have a “Promised Land”: a specific vision of a dramatically better future that drives extraordinary effort.
This is different from a mission statement because it has a concrete end state people can imagine.
The first was in Exodus: “a land flowing with milk and honey.”
Governments use the same structure:
“Put a man on the moon”
“A chicken in every pot”
More recently, mission-driven companies adopted them:
Apple: “A bicycle for the mind”
SpaceX: "Make humanity multiplanetary"
These visions can be transformational. They attract and motivate exceptional employees, support long time-horizon investment, and create the space for difficult innovation.
The best ones make people feel like they’re participating in history, not just building a product.
I joined LinkedIn to help the workforce transition to AI.
What “Promised Lands” have inspired you most?

I’ve been working on something pretty cool with @tonydevincenzi and the team at town.com.
Most AI tools want you to come to them. Open a chat, type a prompt, get an answer. We built one that comes to you. Town Assistant connects to your email, calendar, and docs - then actually does things. Not answers. Actions.
It’s early, but beta users love it so we’re opening the beta to the world. town.com check it out!
Users have built workflows that:
→ Turn newsletter emails into podcasts
→ Prep for interviews and external meetings
→ Track RSVPs for a dinner party and auto-draft follow-ups
→ Monitor consulting invoices and help with collections
→ Research and write applications for pre-schools
No code. Just describe what you want.
My favorite part of my day is my morning briefing — schedule, emails that matter, news. I listen while making coffee.
That plus the dozen other things Town automates for me in the background. I don't think about them anymore. They just happen.
Opening it to the world today.
Here's my Town assitant announcing the launch: town.com/content/audio/ns74j…
Free beta. Would love your feedback. Oh and you can name your assistant. Mine’s Ivy.

The start of the Matrioshka brain era.
> Be me - Elon
> Just nuked the timeline with a Kardashev Scale reality check "I have a plan"
> Meanwhile, China’s out here printing solar panels like it’s counterfeit fentanyl, absolutely curb-stomping the US in the sunshine Olympics. We’re bringing pocket knives to a laser fight
> Bro we are literally about to run out of atoms for NVLink cables and you think the Nevada grid is gonna save us?
> Realize AI is now the most expensive cocaine habit in human history
> Current US grid: ~500 GW average, already sweating like a vegan at a Texas BBQ
> One frontier model run in 2028 gonna slurp more juice than the entire country of France role-playing as a lights festival
> Earth data centers already out here committing war crimes on rivers for cooling water
> Do the math, smooth-brains... we’re about to need the entire grid just to train Grok-7
> Chips? TSMC and Samsung sending me the same email every quarter: “Dear Elon, lol no ❤️”
> Fine
> Tesla Terafab incoming - 10 million wafers/year, built next to Giga Texas, powered by whatever the fuck I want because I own the rockets
> Power situation?
> Earth: crying over natural gas permits
> Me: quietly lofting 500–800 MW of thin-film solar per Starship flight like it’s Uber Eats for the vacuum
> That’s one fully functional orbital gigawatt every week if I feel spicy
> Orbital data centers = infinite free sunlight 3 K cosmic microwave background heat sink
> Translation: your Earth rigs are space heaters with a gambling addiction
> My orbital rigs are perfect blackbody radiators running at 100% duty cycle while sipping starlight like it’s martinis at 3 a.m
> Latency? Starlink lasers already do 100 Gbps cross-continent
> In two years we’ll be doing petabit
> Your query goes up, answer comes down faster than your GPU finishes complaining about spot pricing
> Phase 1: xAI orbital constellation makes Memphis supercluster look like a Raspberry Pi someone dropped in a puddle
> Phase 2: every AI company on Earth begs for rack space on my satellites like it’s the last helicopter out of Saigon
> Phase 3: Kardashev Type II by 2045 or I’ll personally apologize to the Sun for underutilizing it
> Groundcels seething in replies: “b-but atmospheric losses” “b-but launch costs” “b-but orbital decay”
> My brother in Christ I own the launch company I am the atmospheric loss
> Stay poor down there fighting over lake water I’m moving humanity’s IQ to orbit

Imo “Psych” is the single most useful concept for building consumer apps (especially onboarding).
Basic idea is every element adds or subtracts emotional energy — “positive psych” or “negative psyche.”
Reducing friction is important, but adding “positive psych” is even more so. (It’s also more neglected, maybe because it’s hard).
Been very helpful as a team to have this shared mental model - “how can we add more positive psych here?” Etc.
Props to @dariusmc for developing the framework - so simple and powerful.

So far as I can tell, Mayor Matt is the best public servant in CA right now.
Someday, when he's ready, am going to help him run for governor.
In the meantime, urge anyone interested in getting our state back on track to join his mailing list by filling out this little survey.
