“@SpaceX Major launchpad upgrades should be complete in about a month, then another month of rocket testing on pad, then flight 2 of Starship”
“@BarackObama @NASA @SpaceX @Commercial_Crew Thank you on behalf of the people of SpaceX!”
“@PPathole @SpaceX @Tesla True. Ancient times … Had to flip CPU registers explicitly, as computer was so slow.”
“@TheZvi Because everyone’s job is safety. It’s not some fake department with no power to assuage the concerns of outsiders. Tesla has no safety team and is the safest car. SpaceX has no safety team and has the safest rocket. Dragon is what NASA trusts most to fly astronauts.”
“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”
“@imPenny2x Slight possibility of Mars”
“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.”
“@realDonaldTrump @SpaceX @NASA Thank you on behalf of SpaceX. An exciting future lies ahead!”
“@WholeMarsBlog Most people still have no idea. FSD is the most important software release of any kind in a very long time.”
“@Teslaconomics My favorite video of Starship so far! Great shot when the flame points right at the camera.”
“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.”
“Much of what people think of an science is actually engineering, eg no such thing as a “rocket scientist”, only rocket engineers. Latter is who put humans on the moon.”
“Nuke Mars refers to a continuous stream of very low fallout nuclear fusion explosions above the atmosphere to create artificial suns. Much like our sun, this would not cause Mars to become radioactive.”
“SpaceX propulsion just achieved first firing of the Raptor interplanetary transport engine https://t.co/vRleyJvBkx”
“Just wanted to write a note of appreciation for all those who have supported Tesla, SpaceX & SolarCity over the years. Thank you.”
“Stretch goal for Starship V4 is 300 tons of thrust per engine with 33 engines, so 10,000 tons of total thrust. That is 3 times the power of the Saturn V Moon rocket. [@XFreeze] SpaceX’s Starship is already one of the biggest flying objects ever built and it’s still getting bigger • With Starship 4, total size could grow ~10–20% • Raptor thrust jumps ~20%, nearing 9,000 tons at sea level • Enough to send 200+ tons to useful orbit • Fully &… https://x.com/i/web/status/2014607481159463407”
“Squeezing extra performance out of Falcon 9 – almost at 17 metric tons to an actual useful orbit with booster & fairing reusable!”
“Starlink is a total gamechanger [@MarioNawfal] STARLINK TURNS AIRPLANE WIFI FROM USELESS TO UNREAL Airline Wi Fi used to mean loading screens and rage quitting. Starlink just changed the rules at 35,000 feet. * Satellite powered internet delivers fast, low latency connection gate to gate, not just cruising altitude *… https://x.com/i/web/status/2003767614963658807”
“Protect the light of consciousness [@XFreeze] ELON MUSK EXPLAINS THE REAL PURPOSE OF SPACEX "SpaceX is about advancing rocket technology to the point where we can extend life and consciousness beyond Earth to the moon, to Mars, eventually to other star systems And I think we should always view consciousness, life as we… https://x.com/i/web/status/2014375895415586964”
“@WholeMarsBlog Please advise people to be wary of margin loans. Tesla has always been a high variability stock, often with no obvious rhyme or reason. We are confident about long-term value creation, but cannot control the manic-depressive nature of the stock market.”
“@cb_doge I’m started off knowing nothing about rockets, satellites, cars, etc, but I learn fast”
“@PPathole @SpaceX Absolutely”
“@lrocket Thanks for everything you did to help build SpaceX! Some of the best memories ever.”
“Join to create exciting new worlds of technology!! If getting things done matters to you, then @SpaceX, @Tesla, @BoringCompany & @Neuralink are the places to be.”
“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”
“@TJ_Cooney @SpaceX Starlink is a gamechanger for remote locations”
“@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.”
“@universal_sci Perhaps one day there will be an ocean on the northern part of Mars”
“Definitely [@aaronburnett] Cathie discussing SpaceX convergence on orbital data centers and reusable rockets with Peter and friends. Ark and team deserve a ton of credit for not only recognizing that last year was the right time to begin diving deep into SpaceX modeling, but also for being so generous with… https://x.com/i/web/status/2017690607318405419”
“By the way, our commercial Starlink program is the primary source of funding for Starship (NASA is helping too). So thank for buying Starlink and supporting humanity’s future in space. If you look closely at your Starlink router, you will notice that it has an illustration of…”
“@WholeMarsBlog In reality, Twitter is doing a much better job of combating disinformation. @CommunityNotes is a big part of that.”
“Extended tracking shot of Falcon 9 https://t.co/LlUIgOqCxC https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FWUv7XXBb2Y&feature=youtu.be”
“@jaentwistle One of many reasons why we need larger & more advanced rockets!”
“Starship technical update [@SpaceX] The seventh flight test of Starship ended before reaching its ambitious goals. Lessons learned are being applied to future vehicles to make them more reliable. A technical summary of the investigation can be found here → http://spacex.com/updates/#flight-7-report)”
“Worth mentioning that switching to ultra hard, cold-rolled stainless steel for Starship is what led me to make Cybertruck out of it too”
“@stats_feed Starlink now constitutes a majority of all active satellites”
“@AdamLowisz This drooling imbecile doesn’t even realize that Starlink is the backbone of Ukraine military communications”
“@PPathole @SpaceX That is its primary purpose”
“Humor makes life better [@BoosterTribe] The part where if you stray from the roads you run the risk of running into the mysterious chupacabra always made me laugh. @StarbaseTX @SpaceX @elonmusk”
“@WholeMarsBlog @karpathy Andrej will always be welcome at Tesla”
“Midsection of Starship propellant tanks https://t.co/Aa8yKPJEFS”
“@SamHarrisOrg @SpaceX We’re doing ok for a bunch of monkeys. Humanity rocks!”
“At Falcon LZ-1 Vandenberg on Sunday night with the Base Commander. Support of @USAirForce much appreciated. https://t.co/76vsbkCN6n”
“@JitoKayumba @SpaceX Looking forward to providing Starlink service to the people of Zambia!”
“Launching third flight of this Dragon spacecraft to @Space_Station tomorrow”
“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”
“Live webcast of the launch at https://t.co/bDd3GxQXMC http://SpaceX.com”
“Note, a newer version of Starship has the forward flaps shifted leeward. This will help improve reliability, ease of manufacturing and payload to orbit.”
