The tweet archive.
15 years of Elon, fully searchable. The production archive uses Supabase as the source of truth, with 94,952 indexed tweets available in development as a full-archive fallback and a curated annotation layer for context, theory, and how major claims aged.
“@Erdayastronaut @flcnhvy @SpaceX Yeah, will take less than a minute to order on https://t.co/Q1VvqVmJ2i when it goes live http://Starlink.com”
“@flcnhvy @SpaceX Starlink terminal has motors to self-orient for optimal view angle. No expert installer required. Just plug in & give it a clear view of the sky. Can be in garden, on roof, table, pretty much anywhere, so long as it has a wide view of the sky.”
“@alex_avoigt @WholeMarsBlog 🤔”
“@Erdayastronaut @thesheetztweetz @BryceSpaceTech @SpaceX @ulalaunch @torybruno @MHI_Group @roscosmos @Peter_J_Beck To revolutionize space, the right metric is mass to orbit or you could translate that to # of useful satellites brought to orbit. No substitute for mass though. Scale don’t lie.”
“@WholeMarsBlog Tesla Autopilot was literally named after the term used in aviation. Also, what about Autobahn!?”
“@katlinegrey Reusability is essential. A rocket that is single use is just as absurd as a single use airplane. F9 engines already fire 3 times per flight.”
“@MightyTesla @SamTalksTesla @ElonsWorld @Nikola_Truth @WholeMarsBlog @RenataKonkoly @stevenmarkryan @vincent13031925 @HyperChangeTV @TeslaPodcast Hell of a ride!”
“@WholeMarsBlog Thanks :)”
“@OprahSide Maybe he should design flag of Mars”
“@nicebit_net @valleyhack If you get past Mars, the asteroids, moons of Jupiter & Saturn, inevitably you reach Uranus!”
“@WholeMarsBlog Also true. Haha you rock!”
“@WholeMarsBlog Nailed it”
“@RocketLab Sorry to hear about this. Hope you get back to orbit soon. Rockets are hard.”
“@bigwheelastro @ChainsawMelee @EvaFoxU @PPathole @leighalexander @TalulahRiley Yeah, but why? I’m working on sustainable energy cars & solar that help Earth and making life multiplanetary, to ensure its continuance, with SpaceX.”
“@leighalexander @SpaceX To the best our knowledge, he never toured SpaceX. Don’t know where that comes from.”
“@PPathole @SamTalksTesla Yes. Green card (permanent residency) is fine too for SpaceX, according to ITAR rules.”
“@StarofElysium @SamTalksTesla @RationalEtienne @chrish7985 @rlyrlysryDave I don’t have an “emerald mine”, nor was I given free money from anyone, inheritance or otherwise. Ashlee Vance interviewed hundreds of people. Ask him. https://t.co/M63NjiKkw2 https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2020-05-22/elon-musk-speaks-frankly-on-coronavirus-spacex-and-rage-tweets”
“@ReadCoal @Supernautical @flcnhvy @RationalEtienne @chrish7985 @rlyrlysryDave This is false. I landed in Montreal at age 17 with $2000, a backpack of clothes & suitcase of books. My father is bankrupt & has been for a long time. I inherited literally nothing from him. https://t.co/M63NjiKkw2 https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2020-05-22/elon-musk-speaks-frankly-on-coronavirus-spacex-and-rage-tweets”
“@WholeMarsBlog @tesla_truth Greenspan is crackers, bananas, barky & ten cards short of a full deck”
“@TeslaOwnersEBay @WholeMarsBlog @romanhistory1 @HardcoreHistory A lot of functionality will happen all at once when we transition to the new software stack. Most likely, it will be releasable in 2 to 4 months. Then it’s a question of what functionality is proven safe enough to enable for owners.”
“@WholeMarsBlog @romanhistory1 @HardcoreHistory Going well. Team is kicking ass & it’s an honor to work with them. Pretty much everything had to be rewritten, including our labeling software, so that it’s fundamentally “3D” at every step from training through inference.”
“@mojosusan @GovStitt @Tesla I love Texas! Starship production complex is in Boca Chica & SpaceX engine development has been in McGregor for almost 18 years.”
“@kaepora Starlink will provide global coverage”
“Two Starship tanks in the midbay https://t.co/QJ2V882WOC”
“@langdon @peternowak Yes, although Starlink works best for low population density situations”
“@peternowak Canada is a major priority for Starlink!”
“Mars is my souldog”
“Juneteenth is henceforth considered a US holiday at Tesla & SpaceX”
“@YarLP Directionally correct, but Zenit is an order of magnitude smaller than Starship system & doesn’t come back & land”
“@21aeax US law requires at least a green card to be hired at SpaceX, as rockets are considered advanced weapons technology”
“@Mad_Maelstrom @Peter_J_Beck @torybruno @Starlinksat223 @Erdayastronaut Throttling is done by adjusting flow to the ox and fuel preburners. The lower limit of thrust is ox & fuel turbopump injector preburner “stiffness”, essentially when do the preburner elements start flaming out.”
“@Peter_J_Beck @torybruno @Starlinksat223 @Erdayastronaut Yeah. Merlin, using a single pintle injector with cold, liquid propellant, needs a longer chamber than Raptor, which uses a large number of coaxial injectors, despite Merlin being less than half thrust. Propellant enters Raptor chamber as hot gas that’s already mixed.”
“@vlives23 @LoopedBuffalo @Michaelnardone4 @FutureJurvetson @SpaceXStarlink @SpaceX Sure”
“@Michaelnardone4 @FutureJurvetson @SpaceXStarlink @SpaceX Around 20ms. It’s designed to run real-time, competitive video games. Version 2, which is at lower altitude could be as low as 8ms latency.”
“@FutureJurvetson @SpaceXStarlink @SpaceX It will get even simpler. Just two instructions for Starlink: plug in & point at sky. Can be done in either order.”
“@Erdayastronaut @i_gvf @SciGuySpace Exactly. Chartering a dedicated 747 flight around the world costs less than buying a small, single engine turboprop plane. In the same way, a giant reusable rocket flight is way cheaper than a tiny expendable rocket that can be used only once.”
“@thesheetztweetz @SpaceX @Commercial_Crew @AstroBehnken @Astro_Doug @ingallsimages @NASAKennedy ❤️ the laser beam long exposure shots”
“@SciGuySpace Combined with SpaceX deep subcooling of propellants to near liquefaction temp of N2, use of common dome (CH4 & O2 liquid at similar temps) & higher T/W of engines enables de facto higher delta-V than an H2/O2 stage”
“@Erdayastronaut Creating the production system is >1000% harder than building one rocket. This is the truly hard thing.”
“Gateway to Mars”
“@RenataKonkoly @flcnhvy @PPathole @rSpaceX @SpaceX Lot has happened since then!”
“@flcnhvy @PPathole @rSpaceX @SpaceX Haha true”
“@rSpaceX @SpaceX SpaceX Software AMA”
“Starship Production Complex Boca Chica, Texas https://t.co/pd4ka93bv5”
“@flcnhvy @SpaceX @NASA Wow, hard to believe that was 10 years ago!”
“@PPathole That’s when all life on Earth will be boiled off. What matters is how long civilization is capable of making the jump to Mars. This could be a very short period of time measured in decades. It took 4.5 billion years to get to this point & civilization isn’t looking super stable.”
“@SciGuySpace So many war stories over 18 eventful years! But Starship can make life multiplanetary, which is what really matters for safeguarding the light of consciousness & life as we know it. 100X improvement over Falcon/Dragon.”
“@PPathole Starship is the key to making life multiplanetary & protecting the light of consciousness”
“@Rogozin @SpaceX @JimBridenstine @roscosmos @NASA Спасибо, сэр, ха-ха. Мы рассчитываем на взаимовыгодное и процветающее долгосрочное сотрудничество. - Elon”
