Grok, the AI assistant built into X, now has an official route into large companies. SpaceX Super Intelligence, the SpaceX AI division formerly known as xAI, launched the SpaceX Super Intelligence Partner Network on Thursday, October 22, 2026, describing it as its official program for companies building products, solutions, and services with Grok.

Texas voters are watching one of the country's most expensive Senate races unfold in two places at once: at rallies across the state, and in short public posts on X. The platform's owner, Elon Musk, is not a bystander in the contest between Democratic nominee James Talarico and Republican nominee Ken Paxton, the Texas attorney general. He is a participant, posting attacks on Talarico from his own account while his money backs Paxton.

A Colorado appeals court has thrown out a 10 million dollar verdict against X Corp., ruling that a Boulder judge misinterpreted the company's former lease there. The Colorado Court of Appeals reversed the judgment on Thursday, October 22, in a unanimous decision by a three-judge panel, and the case now returns to Boulder.

A Dutch court has cleared the way for a collective damages case against X to be argued in full. On Thursday, October 22, the District Court of Amsterdam ruled that the proceedings brought by Stichting Onderzoek Marktinformatie, known as SOMI, may proceed, finding that the foundation meets all legal requirements to bring the action and appointing it the exclusive representative in the case. The case will now proceed on the merits.

X faced one of its sharpest warnings yet from a government on Thursday, October 22, when a South Korean lawmaker told a National Assembly audit hearing that drug sales and sex-trafficking posts remain searchable on the platform, and that if the situation is not improved by the end of this year, X should be designated a harmful site and its access blocked.

Polymarket's official presence on X has gone dark for users in India. On Thursday, October 22, users inside the country began sharing screenshots of X's standard account-withheld notice on the prediction market's profile, stating that the account has been withheld in India in response to a legal demand. Indian users can no longer view the profile or its posts, while outside India the account continues to function normally.

Nearly one in four accounts that follow or amplify the X account @Wallface show bot-like signals, according to a study published on October 21 by the Antisemitism Research Center, part of the Combat Antisemitism Movement. The finding is a reminder for everyday users that follower counts and repost totals on X do not always reflect real people paying attention.

Community Notes was built on a simple promise: instead of X deciding what counts as misinformation, its users would. A new preprint from a group of X engineers, analyzed this month by Indicator, shows how far that promise has drifted. The notes readers see most often are now written largely by X itself, through an open-source AI notewriter called the Community Writer, which the engineers describe as the program's largest AI API client.

Basketball fans who live on X are getting a dedicated home for the new season. The NBA announced on Monday, October 19, that it is launching a new NBA Gametime experience inside X for the 2026-27 season, alongside a wider rollout of its Tap to Watch links, which point fans from a post straight to the live broadcast of a game.

Elon Musk made one of the biggest pledges of his career the way he makes most of his announcements now: in a short post on X. Early on Monday, October 19, Musk wrote, "Next year, I will give one of my SpaceX shares to every kid in America. This will be the first of many." No press release, no event, and no follow-up details — just two sentences on the platform he owns, and the post quickly drew widespread attention.
