“@Teslarati @Writer_01001101 Before DoD even came back with an answer, I told @FedorovMykhailo that SpaceX would not turn off Starlink even if DoD refused to provide funding”

“@DimaZeniuk Don’t want to get complacent, but if civilization keeps advancing, humans will reach Mars in 5 to 10 years. What really matters is building a self-sustaining civilization on Mars, which will take another 20 to 30 years.”

“Catching rocket fairings falling from space has proven tricky, so we made the net really big https://t.co/WMeNZeksRq https://x.com/teslarati/status/1016966736946581504”

“@bindureddy Google will win the AI race in the West, China on Earth and SpaceX in space”

“@WholeMarsBlog They have no idea how hard FSD is. Only path to success imo is hardcore real-world AI software with dedicated NN inference acceleration ASICs in car, multibillion dollar NN training supercluster and 10+ billion miles of vehicle data. Good luck.”

“@AustinTeslaClub @RoschetzkyP @Tesla @TeslaNY @TeslaOwnersEBay @TeslaForThe_Win @jchybow @1stMarsColonist @EvaFoxU @heydave7 @gailalfa1 Also lasts much longer than normal roofs & is able to withstand hail & other medium-sized impacts”

“@pbeisel I am a huge admirer of Nvidia and Jensen btw. That market cap is well-deserved. SpaceX AI and Tesla expect to continue ordering Nvidia chips at scale.”

“@iliketeslas @jurgen_nauditt Exactly! To be extremely clear, no matter how much I disagree with the Ukraine policy, Starlink will never turn off its terminals. I am simply stating that, without Starlink, the Ukrainian lines would collapse, as the Russians can jam all other communications! We would never…”

“Sorry to hear about China launch failure today. I know how painful that is to the people who designed & built it. https://t.co/iOkj6egF3O http://www.cnn.com/2017/07/02/asia/china-rocket-launch/index.html”

“@somefoundersalt Exactly. Yglesias is incredibly deceptive and lacks any journalistic integrity. There is nothing monopolistic about rockets, any more than there is about aircraft. Just a matter of making the best product.”

“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX @Caspar_Stanley @IzanRamos2002 Most importantly, we need to delete or thermally protect remaining secondary structure, so we can remove shrouds”

“@thesheetztweetz Filing legal actions against SpaceX is *actually* his full-time job https://t.co/XifRICQ62k”

“@newscientist ... say scientists — among other insights gained — after a large vat of LSD overturned in the lab. Also discovered: humans are just sentient sponges, drywall tastes like a marshmallow and gravity is real. The last point remains heavily debated.”

“@thesheetztweetz @NASAKennedy @SpaceX It is hard to overstate criticality of reusable rockets. No less important than reusable aircraft, cars or bicycles. Essential for humanity to become a multiplanet species & backup the biosphere.”

“Passed pit 104 with terrible hotel lag (not Starlink). Will push higher pits on @Starlink while airborne. https://t.co/mkBN6IPAla”

“@ajtourville @SpaceX SpaceX will be filing suit against the FAA for regulatory overreach”

“Other orgs shd also develop reusable orbital rockets. If an airplane co had reusable airplanes, buying single use airplanes wd seem crazy. https://t.co/OJotlGmPHt”

“@Truthful_ast Seems like I should explain what the gameplan is for getting to Mars in more detail. Any individual launch is not very important. What matters is the expected date when Mars becomes a self-sustaining civilization.”

“@BLKMDL3 @S3XYstarship @IWill_Travel @AOC Yes, but this is actually a good thing. It has been raining money on fools for too long. Some bankruptcies need to happen. Also, all the Covid stay-at-home stuff has tricked people into thinking that you don’t actually need to work hard. Rude awakening inbound!”

“@Rainmaker1973 Smooth video courtesy of bolting Starlinks to the deck. They are able to handle high vibration & acoustics.”

“@baierm588 Build 1000+ Starships to transport life to Mars. Basically, (very) modern Noah’s Arks.”

“@SpaceX Krypton thrusters operative, satellites initiating orbit raise every 90 mins”

“@ggreenwald Despite greatly helping Ukraine via Starlink, I was viciously attacked for stating the obvious a year ago. The reason I did so was in hopes of avoiding the sacrifice of a generation of men to the trenches for nothing.”

“On Mars, I like to drink my coffee in this mug https://t.co/DN7aIyhhQ3 https://shop.spacex.com/occupy-mars-heat-sensitive-terraforming-mug.html”

“@elektrotimmy @Tesla @tesla_europe @MartinViecha @aelluswamy @WholeMarsBlog @jchybow @RealDanODowd We fixed the remaining 2%”

“@TechnologicAli Started Zip2 with ~$2k & ~$100k of student debt, rolled proceeds into X/PayPal, rolled proceeds again into SpaceX/Tesla, but these are all companies where I played fundamental founding role. Not right to ask others to put in money if I don’t put in mine.”

“@kausthav_ray @SpaceX Structures, engines, avionics, guidance & control software, new alloys, space lasers (ooh, maybe I shouldn’t have said that) …”

“@WholeMarsBlog Yeah, she was literally trained by a communist from a young age! Kamala saying “equity” all the time, meaning equal outcomes regardless of how talented or hardworking you are, is just another way of saying communism.”

“RT @Rainmaker1973: When you're on a plane and accidentally catch a Falcon 9 lifoff. [📹 chefpinkpr] https://t.co/YJUb1xdIK9”

“@GailAlfarATX @TeslaSolar @Tesla @douglewinenergy @DimaZeniuk @EvaFoxU @DirtyTesLa @WholeMarsBlog @Kristennetten @BrosForDecarb Good article”

“@SpaceX Telemetry indicates soft touchdown on the water, so fairing might still be reusable”

“Fourth rocket arrives in the hangar. Aiming for first reflight in Sept/Oct. https://t.co/TqW8d6Cc3U”

“@JessePeltan For anything to do with engineering and science for sure, but Imperial has a certain romantic charm for civilian use. I set a more intuitive variant of metric for Starship: tons for force and mass, bar for pressure. It’s easier to do mental math, eg thrust to mass ratio, than”

“Still working on the Falcon fireball investigation. Turning out to be the most difficult and complex failure we have ever had in 14 years.”

“@WholeMarsBlog No, it’s dual, high performance terminals, which are important for maintaining the connection in choppy seas & heavy storms. Still obv premium pricing, but way cheaper & faster than alternatives. SpaceX was paying $150k/month for a much worse connection to our ships!”

“@DimaZeniuk @klwtts @TeslaClubNorway @WholeMarsBlog @SawyerMerritt @1stMarsColonist @daelmor @Kristennetten @28delayslater @Inelonwetrust__ @billhuang688 @EvaFoxU @GailAlfarATX As goes Norway, so goes the world. That said, still a long way to go to replace the fleet of combustion vehicles on the road.”

“RT @EricLDaugh: 🚨 BREAKING: Elon Musk's Starlink just made the service FREE to Jamaica and the Bahamas as Category 5 Hurricane Melissa make…”

“@WholeMarsBlog You mean 11.4.7? That should be going to wide release within a week. Version 12, which an almost total rewrite (~99% AI) is being tested by our QA drivers. Too much new code to go to the public yet, but it is mind-blowing imo.”

“@WholeMarsBlog Car just drove me around Austin all day with no interventions required, despite ACL festival crowds! In the fairly near future, people will wonder why there was ever skepticism about self-driving.”

“First Falcon 9 land landing mission from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California coming up soon!”

“@imPenny2x And deliver over 200 tons of payload to a useful orbit with full & rapid reusability. 50 rockets flying every 3 days on average enables over a megaton of payload to orbit per year – enough to build a self-sustaining city on Mars.”

“@rookisaacman If civilization is reasonably stable for the next ~30 years, a self-sustaining city of a million+ people will be built on Mars”

“@StonksReddit @rschmied @spideycyp_155 @SawyerMerritt @SpaceX Starlink is the primary communications system of the Ukrainian army on the war front. If anyone else wants this job, please be my guest …”

“@SawyerMerritt @SpaceX To be precise, 25,300 terminals were sent to Ukraine, but, at present, only 10,630 are paying for service”

“@aparanjape @Erdayastronaut @SpaceX I do think that great design & engineering of products are critical, but manufacturing & supply chain require orders of magnitude more work”

“@harrison_astro Yes, we are talking to airlines about installing Starlink. Please let them know if you want it on your airliner. Low latency ~half gigabit connectivity in the air!”

“@stocktalkweekly @WholeMarsBlog @SawyerMerritt The terminology is outdated & inaccurate. This is a tiny over-the-air software update. To the best of our knowledge, there have been no injuries.”

“@RGVaerialphotos @SpaceX Can’t wait for new high bay!”

“@Rainmaker1973 Except for Starlink, which communicates via space lasers. Light travels ~40% faster in vacuum than fiber optics and on a more direct path, rather than following the outline of continents, so Starlink will be much faster over time than ocean cables. This is important.”

“@waitbutwhy Max payload of Starship V1 in expendable mode (like the other rockets) is ~200 tons. V3 is expected to be ~200 tons with full reusability and ~400 tons expendable. Length will grow by 20 to 30 meters and thrust to ~10k tons.”
