“@WorldAndScience It’s possible to make a self-sustaining city on Mars by 2050, if we start in 5 years & take 10 orbital synchronizations”

“@georgenjoroge_ @amerix Starlink Mini will be about half the standard terminal price and available later this year”

“@alex_avoigt No money from DoD, but several other countries, orgs & individuals are paying for ~11k/25k terminals (thanks!). SpaceX is losing ~$20M/month due to unpaid service & costs related to enhanced security measures for cyberwar defense, but we’ll keep doing it (sigh).”

“@DC_Draino Having Starlink, even as a backup, would be wise”

“Yeah [@XFreeze] Many people think SpaceX is hugely subsidized by NASA and that NASA is the primary driver of SpaceX revenue, which is absolutely false In reality, NASA contracts are only a small single‑digit share of SpaceX revenue and are expected to be less than 5% next year, so claims that… https://x.com/i/web/status/1997407432512036958”

“@WholeMarsBlog I’m worried that Twitter has a disincentive to reduce spam, as it reduces perceived daily users”

“@SpaceX Unfortunately, launch is called off for today, as an aircraft entered the “keep out zone”, which is unreasonably gigantic. There is simply no way that humanity can become a spacefaring civilization without major regulatory reform. The current regulatory system is broken.”

“Starlink now available in São Tomé and Príncipe 🇸🇹! [@Starlink] Starlink's high-speed, low-latency internet is now available in São Tomé and Príncipe! 🛰️🇸🇹❤️ → http://starlink.com/saotomeandprincipe”

“@katlinegrey @Rogozin Ukraine civilian Internet was experiencing strange outages – bad weather perhaps? – so SpaceX is helping fix it”

“That was played & uploaded via @Starlink while airborne [deleted tweet]”

“Rocket fairing returning from space”

“Worth mentioning that switching to ultra hard, cold-rolled stainless steel for Starship is what led me to make Cybertruck out of it too”

“@AdamLowisz This drooling imbecile doesn’t even realize that Starlink is the backbone of Ukraine military communications”

“At Falcon LZ-1 Vandenberg on Sunday night with the Base Commander. Support of @USAirForce much appreciated. https://t.co/76vsbkCN6n”

“Exactly [@wholemars] Why do people believe that taxing billionaires more is suddenly going to fix all of our problems? In 2025, the federal government spent $1.8 TRILLION more than they made in tax revenue. If we instituted a 100% wealth tax and confiscated all the stock holdings of Elon Musk, Larry… https://x.com/i/web/status/2006397618801479685”

“@MadeInTheUSANJ I support free speech, but not any one candidate. In fact, I gave money to & voted for Hillary & then voted for Biden. However, given unprovoked attacks by leading Democrats against me & a very cold shoulder to Tesla & SpaceX, I intend to vote Republican in November.”

“@JamesWorldSpace SpaceX & Boring Co engineers headed to Thailand tomorrow to see if we can be helpful to govt. There are probably many complexities that are hard to appreciate without being there in person.”

“High bay for stacking Starship engine bay, propellant tanks & fairing (fka nosecone) sections is almost done! https://t.co/G9h0430ns2”

“@heydave7 @WholeMarsBlog @WSJ WSJ has run so many bs hit pieces on me and Tesla I’ve lost count! It’s embarrassing for them, frankly. They once wrote an article saying FBI was about to arrest me, so I called FBI to ask what’s up and they said WSJ article was total bs. Just more shortseller fud.”

“@Tesmanian_com Starlink in aircraft feels the same as a high speed connection on the ground”

“@RocketRick @Twitter Social media in general, especially Twitter, were eroding civilization. If civilization collapses before Mars becomes self-sustaining, then nothing else matters. Human consciousness is gone.”

“@WholeMarsBlog Tesla Megapack (and Powerwall) will make a massive difference to achieving a sustainable energy future for Earth!”

“@DimaZeniuk @SpaceX @SirineAti @captainarve @andst7 @WholeMarsBlog @EvasTeslaSPlaid @GailAlfarATX @JaneidyEve @TeslaAIBot @1stMarsColonist Will get bigger. Ship will probably stretch by another 10m or so.”

“@MicahMaidenberg Countries & companies aim too low. Their lack of ambition is their shortfall. The mission of SpaceX is to make life multiplanetary. Even slightly succeeding in that goal results in crushingly good performance to Earth orbit.”

“Starship 9m test tank made 7.5 bar at room temp! Small leak at a weld doubler. Will be repaired & retested at cryo. https://t.co/Bz3lrwkYRU”

“@thesheetztweetz Not connecting Tesla cars to Starlink, as our terminal is much too big. This is for aircraft, ships, large trucks & RVs.”

“@waitbutwhy @SpaceX We will try”

“@WholeMarsBlog The head of Saudi PIF committed unequivocally to take Tesla private with me, as witnessed by the Tesla CFO and several others. That is why I said funding was secured.”

“@WholeMarsBlog Curses, foiled again!”

“@SciGuySpace Full & rapid reusability of booster & ship and orbital refilling of ship are the 2 fundamental technologies we aim to solve by the end of next year. Those are the critical pieces necessary to make life multiplanetary.”

“@WholeMarsBlog Penalizing sustainable energy is insane”

“Aiming for two rocket landings in 48 hours this weekend https://t.co/C1CZW2cQgv https://www.instagram.com/p/BZzchfKg07f/”

“@WholeMarsBlog Tesla will spend around $10B this year in combined training and inference AI, the latter being primarily in car. Any company not spending at this level, and doing so efficiently, cannot compete.”

“@stclairashley @libsoftiktok Sometimes it thinks rocket pics are dicks, which is … crazy of course”

“Aiming for 10 Falcon flights in a month by end of this year, then 12 per month next year”

“@NASASpaceflight Unlike its aircraft division, which is fine, the FAA space division has a fundamentally broken regulatory structure. Their rules are meant for a handful of expendable launches per year from a few government facilities. Under those rules, humanity will never get to Mars.”

“@SciGuySpace @raikohtech I am confident that Starship will land humans on Mars. That path is clear. But what really matters is securing the future of consciousness, not just getting a small number of people to Mars. That probably requires getting over 100,000 people and 1M tons of cargo to Mars.”

“While I have great fondness for @NASA, they will constitute less than 5% of our revenue next year. Commercial Starlink is by far our largest contributor to revenue. Some people have claimed that SpaceX gets “subsidized” by NASA. This is absolutely false. The SpaceX team won… https://t.co/5ebFse5Eg4 https://x.com/i/web/status/1997401910635278368”

“Mars V2 plan coming soon, which I think addresses the most fundamental flaw in V1: how to pay for development & operation of giant rockets https://t.co/yaITdVdpEc https://x.com/sciam/status/875756138121310208”

“@JonErlichman 5 years ago. We need to accelerate progress towards fully reusable rockets. Cost per ton to orbit needs to improve by >1000% from where Falcon is today for there to be a self-sustaining city on Mars.”

“@ErcXspace Very close to real! Arms are able to move during descent to match exact booster position. Catch point is off to side, in case catch fails – don’t want to hit launch mount. Booster is transferred back to launch mount for next flight. Designed to have <1 hour turnaround.”

“@NASA @NASAInSight Congratulations! What an amazing track record of success with Mars!”

“SpaceX standard antenna production rises rapidly this year, so those with orders shouldn’t have to wait long. Note, Starlink can only support a limited number of users in an area, so best to order early.”

“SpaceX main body tool for the BFR interplanetary spaceship https://t.co/WbTITI6WSu https://www.instagram.com/p/BhVk3y3A0yB/”

“Going to try to catch the giant fairing (nosecone) of Falcon 9 as it falls back from space at… https://t.co/CVS2PoaJah https://www.instagram.com/p/BfgHKDNAplx/”

“@FischerKing64 I literally have zero interests Russia. Tesla has no operations there, SpaceX directly competes with Russia for space launch and Starlink is a key asset of Ukraine. Sam Harris is a pompous hypocrite (writes book about how lying is terrible and then advocates lying to keep Trump…”

“@EvaFoxU @SpaceX That was our last chance to reach orbit. If it had failed, SpaceX would have died.”

“@WholeMarsBlog Fusion would be expensive energy, given difficulty of obtaining and transporting source fuel, plus maintaining the reactor. Far better to use the Sun – thermonuclear reactor with no need to refuel or service.”

“@chhardman @PeterHotez @joerogan But it was a mistake to push for so many Covid-19 booster shots (even the initial vaccine shot was overkill on quantity). There‘s obviously risk of the immune system going out of control when it sees what what you’ve trained it to believe is a serious disease over & over again.”

“@ai_for_success For a few years, then SpaceX will far exceed everyone combined”
