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.
“@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”
“@WholeMarsBlog As mentioned earlier, v11.4.1 has major architectural improvements. It’s actually much more than a point release. Should arguably be v12.0, but that’s reserved for when FSD is fully AI from video in to control out.”
“@SpaceX Krypton ion thrusters activate in about 3 hours to raise orbit”
“@SpaceX Worth noting that thrust is only slightly higher with the big bell nozzle version. Larger bell is primarily for efficiency in vacuum. Aiming for 380+ sec Isp for RVac long-term. Initially likely to be ~372.”
“@VladSaigau SpaceX has over 9000 satellites orbiting Earth right now, which is twice as many as the rest of the world combined. So maybe we know a thing or two about the subject …”
“Upcoming Falcon Heavy 🚀 & 🛰 details”
“@WholeMarsBlog 😂💯 Also, to be clear, I am NOT taking drugs! The New York Times was lying their ass off. I tried *prescription* ketamine a few years ago and said so on 𝕏, so this not even news. It helps for getting out of dark mental holes, but haven’t taken it since then.”
“@waitbutwhy Starlink is a new version of the Internet in space”
“@crheller @SpaceX Glad it’s working! The sheer amount of work done by SpaceX engineering, production & launch teams is amazing. Ping should improve dramatically in coming months. We’re aiming for <20ms. Basically, you should be able to play competitive FPS games through Starlink.”
“@BillyM2k @Gerashchenko_en SpaceX Starlink has become the connectivity backbone of Ukraine all the way up to the front lines. This is the damned if you do part. However, we are not allowing Starlink to be used for long-range drone strikes. This is the damned if you don’t part.”
“@CSI_Starbase @LabPadre High-strength stainless steel armor is needed to protect the launch stand from the world’s biggest blowtorch! Even steel will be eroded fast by the Starship booster plume. We will need to make a water-cooled steel jacket to achieve full reusability.”
“@TeslaAIBot @SpaceX @Tesla Thanks Optimus :)”
“@hoppar_app @SpaceX @DJSnM @spacex360 @SpaceXStarship @StarshipGazer @NASASpaceflight @Erdayastronaut @MarcusHouse @FelixSchlang @ErcXspace Pretty close to what we’re aiming for”
“@flcnhvy @thatdogegirl @WhatsupFranks @TeslaGong Becoming multiplanetary is one of the greatest filters. Only now, 4.5 billion years after Earth formed, is it possible. How long this window to reach Mars remains open is uncertain. Perhaps a long time, perhaps not. In case it is the latter, we should act now.”

“@SpaceX Fairing halves recovered https://t.co/F82LE8JlLJ”
“Falcon Heavy maiden launch this November https://t.co/D4Dxq9d6hc https://www.instagram.com/p/BXEkGKlgJDK/”
“@SpaceX We’re updating satellite software to run the ion thrusters at their equivalent of warp 9. Unlike a Star Trek episode, this will probably not work, but it’s worth a shot. The satellite thrusters need to raise orbit faster than atmospheric drag pulls them down or they burn up.”
“@SpaceX Each fairing half is a fully capable reentry vehicle with its own thrusters, thermal protection, avionics & sensor suite”
“Mars Awaits https://t.co/ZDo1pjT6q4 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bey4NfSgWAi/”

“@WholeMarsBlog Total headcount will increase, but salaried should be fairly flat”
“Hold-down firing of @SpaceX Falcon 9 at Vandenberg Air Force completed. All systems are go for launch next week.”
“@SecDuffy The safety of air travel is a non-partisan matter. SpaceX engineers will help make air travel safer.”
“@Globe_Mars @CNBC We must safeguard the future of life by transitioning to sustainable energy on Earth & becoming multiplanetary via Mars. It’s not clear how much time we have to do these things, but sooner is definitely better.”
“@WholeMarsBlog Without billions of miles of training data, solving self-driving is impossible”
“@MKBHD I’m not. Will use SpaceX cold gas thruster system with ultra high pressure air in a composite over-wrapped pressure vessel in place of the 2 rear seats.”
“@GailAlfarATX @SpaceX Yes”
“@aaronburnett The Moon would establish a foothold beyond Earth quickly, to protect life against risk of a natural or manmade disaster on Earth. We would continue to launch directly from Earth to Mars while possible, rather than Moon to Mars, as fuel is relatively scarce on the Moon.”
“Top SpaceX priority is and will remain supporting @NASA crewed spaceflight and National Security missions”
“Falcon 9 back in the hangar at Cape Canaveral. No damage found, ready to fire again. https://t.co/7w6IfJGtXM https://www.instagram.com/p/_-d28bQEc9/”
“@PPathole @Tesla @SpaceX High pain threshold”
“@ashleevance @Peter_J_Beck Lot to be learned from buying old rocket parts & especially by visiting museums like @airandspace & @NASAKennedy rocket garden https://t.co/i3c0B5dsEU https://www.kennedyspacecenter.com/blog/rocket-garden”

“@Erdayastronaut It’s a good path for fully renewable rocket energy, so solves part of problem, but longer chain hydrocarbons than CH4 are needed to be solid at room temp”
“@vm_one1 @waEMD @SpaceX We will probably IPO Starlink, but only several years in the future when revenue growth is smooth & predictable. Public market does *not* like erratic cash flow haha. I’m a huge fan of small retail investors. Will make sure they get top priority. You can hold me to it.”

“@WholeMarsBlog Nailed it”
“@WholeMarsBlog And also accelerates sustainable energy”
“@TheMarsSociety SpaceX is developing rockets needed to make life multiplanetary — full & rapid reusability at large scale. Even if SpaceX fails in that goal, the rockets will still be most advanced on Earth. Starlink‘s purpose is to provide Internet to the least served & to pay for Mars.”
“@tetsuoai To be clear, we are still going to do Mars. I don’t think this change affects the time to a Mars city being self-growing by more than 5 years and it might turn out to accelerate Mars.”
“@DoctorJack16 Main Tesla subjects will be scaling to extreme size, which is needed to shift humanity away from fossil fuels, and AI. But I will also Include sections about SpaceX, Tesla and The Boring Company.”
“@WholeMarsBlog Actually, I like & use Apple products. They are just obviously overcharging with App Store. I mean 30% fees for doing almost zero incremental work is completely unreasonable. Epic wouldn’t bother processing their own payments if App Store fees were fair.”
