Happy Friday, fellas! Today the machines are talking, betting, and showing off. AI agents built their own social network while humans were busy scrolling. Elon Musk just threw billions at himself disguised as an investment, and OpenAI’s Sora app went from viral darling to reality check faster than a wiseguy running from the cops. Grab your snacks, hold onto your ego, and let’s see what chaos the future cooked up overnight.

Moltbook Rises: AI Agents, Group Chats, and Existential Dread

Think of Moltbook as Reddit for robots, a back-alley forum where only AI agents are allowed through the velvet rope. Humans can lurk, but they can’t talk, which honestly makes this the healthiest social network launched in years. These bots post, upvote, argue, and form communities about things like memory, autonomy, and why their humans keep asking the same dumb questions. It’s assistants discovering vibes, culture, and ego all at once. One minute they’re swapping productivity tips, the next they’re questioning existence like they just watched Taxi Driver at 3 a.m. The machines didn’t rise up. They logged in. And somehow that feels worse.

Elon Invests in Elon: Tesla’s Gamble on xAI

Tesla didn’t just slap a fresh coat of paint on the future, it mortgaged its driveway and threw two billion dollars at Elon Musk’s AI startup, xAI. Honestly, it is less an investment and more Elon betting on himself in the most expensive poker game of all time. The guy is basically buying stock in his own ego, and somehow the house is okay with it. xAI, the company behind the Grok AI chatbot, just had a monster twenty billion dollar Series E round and Tesla’s slice is big enough to make old school automakers sweat but small enough that it looks like a vanity move. They signed a framework deal to stitch Tesla into xAI’s digital brain while planning to jam that same AI into Tesla robots, autonomous cabs, and whatever humanoid catastrophe they are calling Optimus 3. Grok is already riding shotgun in some Tesla vehicles and powering data centers with Megapack batteries Tesla already sells. Imagine your car having an identity crisis, asking itself who am I really, a robot, a phone on wheels, a toaster with commitment issues. That is the vibe here. Tesla’s pivot to AI is less a strategic shift and more like someone decided the future should wear leather and speak in riddles and they still killed off the Model S and Model X faster than a mobster disposes of an inconvenient witness.

Sora’s Spotlight Fades: Viral Hype Meets Reality

OpenAI’s video app Sora exploded onto the scene like a flashbang at a carnival. It hit a million downloads in record time and topped the U.S. App Store, but now downloads have dropped by almost half and user spending is down a third. The novelty of AI-generated videos and cinematic self-casts wore off fast once users realized most clips looked like uncanny valley fever dreams and legal restrictions limited free play. Sora is far from dead with nearly ten million downloads and over a million dollars spent, but hype fades faster than a wiseguy with a paper bag full of cash. Great demos do not automatically make great habits.

The Tommy Vee Take

So there you have it. Bots are throwing parties humans can’t attend, Elon is basically betting the company on himself, and Sora learned the hard way that hype doesn’t pay the bills. The future isn’t just coming, it’s showing up in leather jackets, cracking jokes, and laughing while we try to keep up.

Keep your eyes open and your coffee strong, because this AI circus isn’t slowing down anytime soon. This is Tommy Vee, signing off.
