“Falcon 9 flight 50 launches tonight, carrying Hispasat for Spain. At 6 metric tons and almost the size of a city bus, it will be the largest geostationary satellite we’ve ever flown.”
“Yup [@TheCaptainEli] The main difference between Elon Musk and Sam Altman: Elon Musk actually changes the world for the better and saves lives: Tesla accelerates clean energy and has saved thousands of lives on the roads. SpaceX is making humanity multi-planetary. Starlink connects and saves”
“@airandspace @SpaceX Thank you for your kind words on behalf of the SpaceX team!”
“Starlink is a gamechanger [@SawyerMerritt] Starlink Wi-Fi review on Qatar Airways: "I used free @Starlink Wi-Fi on a 15-hour flight — and it just changed long-haul travel forever. I sent large attachments without delay, I downloaded documents, I responded to time-sensitive emails while crossing continents that I had”
“Both fairing halves caught from space by @SpaceX ships!”
“Starlink now in Kiribati! [@Starlink] Starlink’s high-speed, low-latency internet is now available in Kiribati! 🛰️🇰🇮❤️ → https://www.starlink.com/map?country=KI”
“@teslaownersSV I hope there is a self-sustaining city on Mars in 20 years!”
“@WholeMarsBlog Yeah, but I didn’t leak it to NYT. They must have got it through friends of friends. I heard from multiple people at TED that Gates still had half billion short against Tesla, which is why I asked him, so it’s not exactly top secret.”
“Aiming for first flight of Falcon Heavy on Feb 6 from Apollo launchpad 39A at Cape Kennedy. Easy viewing from the public causeway.”
“SpaceX is a separate company and they did even claim that SpaceX/Starlink broke any laws. Purely capricious.”
“It's starting to feel kinda normal to reuse rockets. Good. That's how it is for cars & airplanes and how it should be for rockets.”
“@FedorovMykhailo @SpaceX @SpaceXStarlink @Honda @ChampionGen @westinghouse @DuroMaxPower Updating software to reduce peak power consumption, so Starlink can be powered from car cigarette lighter. Mobile roaming enabled, so phased array antenna can maintain signal while on moving vehicle.”
“Support Starlink in Namibia! [@LaurenDreyer] If you want to see @Starlink in Namibia, please email licensing@cran.na and voice your support for Government Gazette 8795, Notice 897 before Dec 12. Namibia is at a pivotal moment in its digital future. The country ranks 149th out of 156 countries globally in median download… https://x.com/i/web/status/1997840102614044776”
“Will be interesting to see how this is used [@ID_AA_Carmack] Starlink announced a $5/month plan that gives unlimited usage at 500kbits/s. Modern apps and web pages would immediately back up every buffer and make for a painful experience, but it is fun to consider optimizing inside that tight box (in the 90s, 4x ISDN was high end!).”
“It is a hard path to 100GW/year of AI in space, but we know what to do [@Teslaconomics] This statement mind boggles Ron Baron. Elon is talking about putting 25% of U.S.’s electricity output of solar powered AI satellites into orbit. Best believe SpaceX’s Starlink and Tesla’s energy business is going to benefit materially from this. “We see a path to putting 100”
“@Rainmaker1973 Big rockets are needed to make life multiplanetary!”
“And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air”
“Testing Starlink streaming continuity from while aircraft is doing banking maneuvers https://t.co/01CruBZKno https://x.com/i/broadcasts/1MYxNMNwmPzJw”

“600 [@XFreeze] SPACEX JUST MADE HISTORY AGAIN - 600 OVERALL FALCON MISSIONS Today, SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 rocket carrying NROL-105 for the National Reconnaissance Office from Vandenberg Space Force Base This was the 600th overall Falcon mission, with an overall success rate of ~99.5%… https://x.com/i/web/status/2012451992652927213”
“There has been a lot of press claiming @SpaceX is raising money at $800B, which is not accurate. SpaceX has been cash flow positive for many years and does periodic stock buybacks twice a year to provide liquidity for employees and investors. Valuation increments are a… https://t.co/c9CVUNu6Hb https://x.com/i/web/status/1997399963509150089”
“Internet connectivity brings prosperity [@XFreeze] Elon Musk explains how Starlink will actually move the GDP of countries “If you don’t have access to the internet, or it’s too expensive or low bandwidth, you cannot access MIT lessons, you can’t access information, and you can’t sell your goods and services” Starlink changes”
“Falcon fairing halves missed the net, but touched down softly in the water. Mr Steven is picking them up. Plan is to dry them out & launch again. Nothing wrong with a little swim.”
“Good Starship SN8 static fire! Aiming for first 15km / ~50k ft altitude flight next week. Goals are to test 3 engine ascent, body flaps, transition from main to header tanks & landing flip.”
“@kanyewest Starship were meant to fly and our next one launches in about 3 weeks, but I recommend waiting for a few more test flights before hopping on board @NICKIMINAJ”
“Fun mission [@MarioNawfal] 🚨SPACE BREAKTHROUGH: SPACEX LAUNCHES FIRST ASTEROID MINING MISSION A SpaceX rocket has launched Odin, a spacecraft built by startup AstroForge, on a mission to study asteroid 2022 OB5, which is 1 million miles from Earth. The asteroid is believed to contain platinum and other… )”
“@SmokeAwayyy With booster ultimately flying up to ~20 times per day & ship flying up to ~5 times per day. Useful load to Mars is ~150 metric tons, but requires ~5 orbital refilling tanker flights. Target: >1 megaton of cargo & people delivered to Mars, so that it becomes self-sustaining.”
“@DavidSacks SpaceX’s out of pocket cost to enable & support Starlink in Ukraine is ~$80M so far. Our support for Russia is $0. Obviously, we are pro Ukraine. Trying to retake Crimea will cause massive death, probably fail & risk nuclear war. This would be terrible for Ukraine & Earth.”
“@TeslaOwnersEBay If remaining tests go well, we will attempt a Starship launch next month”
“Cool! Starlink will keep improving as we launch more satellites. [@SawyerMerritt] Review of @Starlink on United Airlines: "It is an absolute game changer. I had download speeds in excess of 250 Mbps, and upload speeds of nearly 30 Mbps. With Starlink, I can do anything in the air that I could do on the ground."”

“@shlomo_karhi We are not so naive. Per my post, no Starlink terminal has attempted to connect from Gaza. If one does, we will take extraordinary measures to confirm that it is used *only* for purely humanitarian reasons. Moreover, we will do a security check with both the US and Israeli…”
“@engineers_feed Due to lower gravity, you can travel from surface of Mars to surface of Earth fairly easily with a single stage rocket. Earth to Mars is vastly harder.”
“@niccruzpatane Already have thousands of times over. My “net worth” is almost entirely due to my ownership stakes in Tesla and SpaceX. I have <0.1% that is cash. Tesla and SpaceX employees all receive stock/options and Tesla is >80% owned by retail investors and index/pension funds, so value… https://t.co/3cXP7theq7 https://x.com/i/web/status/2023158948501594300”
“Great work by SpaceX Dragon team & Airborne! To be clear, we’ve only done 1 multi-parachute test of Mk3 design, so 9 more left to reach 10 successful tests in a row.”
“@WholeMarsBlog It used to be: “Internet guy will fail at rockets/cars!” Now it is: “Rockets/cars guy will fail at Internet!” Literally from same media outlets 🤣🤣”
“@WholeMarsBlog Competition has nothing to do with it. There are serious AI risk issues.”
“Falcon Heavy remains go for launch at 1:30pm on Tuesday”
“Solving cell phone dead zones with @Starlink [@MikeSievert] Today marks a huge step in @TMobile’s mission to end dead zones.

“Long road to reusabity of Falcon 9 primary boost stage…When upper stage & fairing also reusable, costs will drop by a factor >100. https://t.co/WyTAQ3T9EP”
“We even did a Starlink video call on one airplane aloft to Starlink on another, far away, airplane aloft and it worked perfectly with no lag!”
“@ChristopherJM @FT @MehulAtLarge @felschwartz Bad reporting by FT. This article falsely claims that Starlink terminals & service were paid for, when only a small percentage have been. This operation has cost SpaceX $80M & will exceed $100M by end of year. As for what’s happening on the battlefield, that’s classified.”
“Not saying the next gen Roadster special upgrade package *will* definitely enable it to fly short hops, but maybe … Certainly possible. Just a question of safety. Rocket tech applied to a car opens up revolutionary possibilities.”
