Elon Musk amplified the Grok Bot Galaxy livestream (Sept 15–17), where three SpaceXAI engineers — Matt Palmer, Lauren Tan, and Roshan Sadanani — built a company from scratch in three days with Grok Bot agents doing the work.
- Day 1: spun up a GitHub org and domain, used research bots to brainstorm from X replies, and landed on a "pop-up OS for restaurants"
- Lauren's Dr. Eggbot could spawn other bots, including a Chief of Staff
- The team planned to dogfood the product with a real SF pop-up event as customer #1
Over 2.4 million people watched the streams; a companion site, Thursday Arena, gamifies the bots as fighting cards.
