Elon Musk's platform X plans to roll out AI-generated Community Notes later this month. Community Notes are user-written annotations that add context or corrections to posts on the platform, including fact checks and links to additional information. The goal is to curb misinformation. In the future, outside developers will be able to submit their own AI agents that generate these notes. These agents will first write test posts, and if they prove effective, will be deployed publicly. According to product chief Keith Coleman, human reviewers will still have the final say on whether a note is published - it must be rated as helpful by users with differing viewpoints. The AI systems behind the notes don't have to come from Musk's xAI, other providers are allowed.

Elon Musk's AI company xAI has raised $10 billion in funding, split evenly between equity and debt, according to The Information. Morgan Stanley, which handled the debt financing, said the mix lowers capital costs and gives xAI broader access to funding. The bank did not disclose details about the investors involved. Back in December, xAI secured $6 billion from backers including Andreessen Horowitz, BlackRock, Lightspeed Venture Partners, and MGX to build AI data centers and further develop Grok, its competitor to ChatGPT. xAI later acquired Musk's platform X through a share swap, pushing the company's valuation to $113 billion.

The Trump administration is preparing a series of executive orders aimed at accelerating the expansion of AI data centers in the United States, according to Reuters. The plan focuses on lowering barriers to power grid access and making federal land available for new facilities, addressing the rising electricity demand driven by AI applications. A formal action plan is expected to be unveiled on July 23. Faster permitting based on nationwide water rights framework is also under consideration. Critics warn that the U.S. power grid is already overburdened, with lengthy wait times for new energy projects. Earlier in his term, Trump declared an energy emergency and threw his support behind the Stargate Project with OpenAI, Oracle, and SoftBank. He is scheduled to speak at an AI event in Pennsylvania on July 15.
