“@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 …”
“@PPathole @Tesla @SpaceX @neuralink @boringcompany I’m trying my hardest! Perhaps more people might consider loving humanity. Our collective light of consciousness is a tiny candle in a vast darkness. Please do not let it go out.”
“@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.”
“@rhemrajani9 @WholeMarsBlog @DavidSacks @JLinWins @BlueMoonTrades @MomAngtrades @DisruptorStocks @RinainDC @valueandtime @EvasTeslaSPlaid @Barchart @jasondebolt 🤣”
“@KenKirtland17 @torybruno @ulalaunch @SpaceX @blueorigin @Erdayastronaut @DJSnM @ThePrimalDino Starship fairing will actually have more height than shown here. Dome will be flatter & more of tip is accessible. Usable volume ~1000 cubic meters.”
“@WholeMarsBlog Layers upon layers of neural nets, ever higher”
“@spideycyp_155 @SawyerMerritt @SpaceX In addition to terminals, we have to create, launch, maintain & replenish satellites & ground stations & pay telcos for access to Internet via gateways. We’ve also had to defend against cyberattacks & jamming, which are getting harder. Burn is approaching ~$20M/month.”
“Thanks for the longstanding faith in SpaceX. We very much look forward to doing this milestone flight with you. https://t.co/U2UFez0OhY https://x.com/ses_satellites/status/770602110996082688”
“@REQNews Yes, we can fly Starship around space & chomp up debris with the moving fairing door”

“@teslaownersSV @WholeMarsBlog No, they still refuse to explain how they calculate that 5% of daily users are fake/spam! Very suspicious.”
“@FedorovMykhailo @Gwynne_Shotwell Looks like the steps we took to stop the unauthorized use of Starlink by Russia have worked. Let us know if more needs to be done.”
“@EdKrassen Civilization needs to retain its current technology level until Mars is self-sufficient, which could be achieved within ~20 years. If we become multiplanetary and then multistellar our civilization will last millions of years. If not, maybe just a few hundred years.”
“@flcnhvy @arstechnica @SciGuySpace SpaceX will be landing Starships on Mars well before 2030. The really hard threshold is making Mars Base Alpha self-sustaining.”
“RT @SawyerMerritt: BREAKING: T-Mobile spent $8 million to air its Super Bowl commercial to announce that their @Starlink beta program will…”
“@stillgray Olbermann has achieved the impossible and gone BEYOND "full retard" 🤣🤣 SpaceX is the primary communication system of the Ukrainian military on the front lines, because everything else has been destroyed or jammed by the Russians!”
“@KonstantinKisin There is more to this than meets the eye. If the concern is actually sexual predation in the entertainment industry, that is a very long list. Why @rustyrockets and why now?”

“@peterrhague As I said in my post, we will still do Mars in parallel, but the critical path to a self-growing Moon city is faster. The Moon city can be made to be self-growing in less than half the time of Mars.

“@WholeMarsBlog Tesla AI, both hardware & software, is deeply underestimated”
“@nextspaceflight There is the internal goal if things go right, which needs to be aggressive. Obviously, some things will not go right internally & there will be external issues too. That said, I think we can stack an orbital ship on an orbital booster in July.”
“@xDaily This has nothing to do with Kuiper, we’re just trying to make Starlink more affordable to a broader audience. The lower the cost, the more Starlink can be used by people who don’t have much money, especially in the developing world.”
“RT @cb_doge: 🚨 ELON MUSK: Starlink will never turn off its terminals in Ukraine. "To be extremely clear, no matter how much I disagree wit…”
“SpaceX team reviewed all systems again late last night. Done our best to ensure all is good. https://t.co/R3YrF6PEt4 https://x.com/spacex/status/882693202930577408”
“@WholeMarsBlog This should be clear to anyone who has experienced the FSD beta evolution. Self-driving requires solving a major part of real-world AI, so it’s an insanely hard problem, but Tesla is getting it done. AI Day will be great.”
“@Thavisin @Tesla @SpaceX @Starlink It was an honor to meet. Thailand has a very exciting future!”
“@smartass505 @ZainS180 @VikingRocket @WholeMarsBlog Oh man, this year has been such a supply chain nightmare & it’s not over! I will provide an updated product roadmap on next earnings call.”
