“@canraptor_ They might land something on the Moon before SpaceX and that’s fine by me. I will be one of the first to congratulate them. However, what really matters for the future is being able to land millions of tons of equipment and people to build a self-growing city on the Moon. In… https://t.co/nAOUvzXvQq https://x.com/i/web/status/2020915259561869533”

“@SenBillNelson @SpaceX Thank you on behalf of the SpaceX team”
“$300M cost diff between SpaceX and Boeing/Lockheed exceeds avg value of satellite, so flying with SpaceX means satellite is basically free https://t.co/CaOulCf7ot https://x.com/arstechnica/status/875489606728372225”
“@MicahMaidenberg Countries & companies aim too low. Their lack of ambition is their shortfall. The mission of SpaceX is to make life multiplanetary. Even slightly succeeding in that goal results in crushingly good performance to Earth orbit.”
“SpaceX [@cb_doge] ELON MUSK: "The overall goal of my companies is to maximize the future of civilization, like basically maximize the probability that civilization has a great future and to expand consciousness beyond Earth. SpaceX, for example is about advancing rocket technology to the point… https://x.com/i/web/status/2014364798306373637”
“@PPathole @SpaceX Science-fiction should not be fiction forever!”
“RT @SpaceX: Splashdown of Dragon confirmed – welcome back to Earth, Nick, Suni, Butch, and Aleks! https://t.co/M4RZ6UYsQ2”
“Exactly [@WholeMarsBlog] For those who don’t know, OpenRouter is an abstraction layer that lets you send your requests to any LLM and change easily To be #1 you have to hit the right combination of performance and cost to be useful in the real world it can’t be faked and says a lot more than evals”
“@wapodavenport My plan is to use the money to get humanity to Mars and preserve the light of consciousness”
“@DiscoverMag There’s a massive amount of CO2 on Mars adsorbed into soil that’d be released upon heating. With enough energy via artificial or natural (sun) fusion, you can terraform almost any large, rocky body.”
“@aubreystrobel Yes, public viewing of Starship is easy from South Padre Island and the view is excellent. Also, the rocket factory and launch towers are right by a public highway.”
“@WholeMarsBlog Maybe it’s time to build that flying metal suit of armor”
“Impressive Grok Imagine videos ✨ [@KettlebellDan] Grok Imagine contest of the day is here! 👉 design a new product for any Elon company (𝕏, xAI SpaceX, Boring, Tesla) Winners to be chosen across categories: - practical - fun - futuristic Yesterday’s winner the already famous “hamberry” (see below) submitted by @PaulanderAba”
“@WholeMarsBlog I am dumb way more often than I’d like to be!”
“@WatchersTank @NASASpaceflight @SpaceX Cryogenic proof test passed”
“@WholeMarsBlog There are some jobs that can be done effectively at home, but it is super out of touch to suggest that most people should do so, given that it is impossible. That’s why I likened it to “Let them eat cake”.”
“@WholeMarsBlog @Herbert_Diess Diess deserves a lot of credit for moving VW rapidly towards electrification. They’re lucky to have him.”
“Great Q&A @defcon last night. Thanks for helping make Tesla & SpaceX more secure! Planning to open-source Tesla vehicle security software for free use by other car makers. Extremely important to a safe self-driving future for all.”
“@WholeMarsBlog The head of Saudi PIF committed unequivocally to take Tesla private with me, as witnessed by the Tesla CFO and several others. That is why I said funding was secured.”
“@SpacePadreIsle @SpaceX Agreed, should be preserved in memory of SN8”
“@SpaceX Probably 250 t-F by end of year”
“@krassenstein Thanks on behalf of the SpaceX team!”
“@SciGuySpace Full & rapid reusability of booster & ship and orbital refilling of ship are the 2 fundamental technologies we aim to solve by the end of next year. Those are the critical pieces necessary to make life multiplanetary.”
“@teslaownersSV 🤣🤣 That was me tweeting from @SpaceX when someone else had snatched my name. I was actually one of the earliest Twitter users, but dropped my account because people were tweeting such trivialities at first. @westcoastbill convinced me to get back in.”
“Rocket is extra toasty and hit the deck hard (used almost all of the emergency crush core), but otherwise good”
“Good shot of @SpaceX Starship flight test vehicle being assembled in Boca Chica, Texas”
“@PPathole @SpaceX We have a very talented team”
“@DrPhiltill Minimizing $/ton to the surface of Mars is the fundamental optimization”
“Will be at SXSW Sat/Sun with Jonah & Lisa, who created Westworld. Jonah made an incredible short reel of Falcon Heavy & Starman. Releases tmrw aft.”
“@stclairashley @libsoftiktok Sometimes it thinks rocket pics are dicks, which is … crazy of course”
“@AustinTeslaClub That is the goal. Our official name is actually Space Exploration Technologies. SpaceX is short form.”
“@WholeMarsBlog We could’ve made a 600 mile Model S 12 months ago, but that would’ve made the product worse imo, as 99.9% of time you’d be carrying unneeded battery mass, which makes acceleration, handling & efficiency worse. Even our 400+ mile range car is more than almost anyone will use.”
“In advance of this, please try to hack Starlink & Tesla Mothership!”
“Aiming for 10 Falcon flights in a month by end of this year, then 12 per month next year”
“@SpaceX @Space_Station It’s called the Space “Station”, but it’s actually moving around Earth at ~25 times the speed of sound or ~10 times faster than a rifle bullet”
“RT @MarshaBlackburn: The Department of Education does not run a single school, yet the federal government wastes $68 billion a year and emp…”
“@SawyerMerritt An obviously disingenuous response. Not cool of them to try (for the third time) to impede SpaceX’s progress by lawfare.”
“@NASASpaceflight Unlike its aircraft division, which is fine, the FAA space division has a fundamentally broken regulatory structure. Their rules are meant for a handful of expendable launches per year from a few government facilities. Under those rules, humanity will never get to Mars.”
“Good summary of rocket landing history. There were two successful water landings much earlier, but they didn't survive long. https://t.co/N6kxxQeFby https://x.com/verge/status/879410754511831040”
“@birdabo A friend of mine suggested that we do a light show with the Starlink satellites one of these days. Would look cool.”
“@PPathole @SpaceX That’s our initial interstage design that we scrapped”
“Long exposure of rocket ascent, reentry from space and landing burn. (Credit @johnkrausphotos) https://t.co/X24k3han8M https://www.instagram.com/p/BdrZtc5AhB3/”
“Worth noting that Boeing/Lockheed ("Other US" on chart) get a billion dollar annual subsidy even if they launch nothing. SpaceX does not. https://t.co/Mi27ZnYLRJ https://x.com/concofahmet/status/885617156473450496”
“While I have great fondness for @NASA, they will constitute less than 5% of our revenue next year. Commercial Starlink is by far our largest contributor to revenue. Some people have claimed that SpaceX gets “subsidized” by NASA. This is absolutely false. The SpaceX team won… https://t.co/5ebFse5Eg4 https://x.com/i/web/status/1997401910635278368”
“Looking back at the sun from upper stage & Falcon 9 🚀 landed on drone ship Of Course I Still Love You https://t.co/sg3FXIDQJL”
“Mars V2 plan coming soon, which I think addresses the most fundamental flaw in V1: how to pay for development & operation of giant rockets https://t.co/yaITdVdpEc https://x.com/sciam/status/875756138121310208”
“This is significantly more than any country has launched with their entire rocket fleet in a year. Second is peak Soviet Union at ~500 tons. For a present day comparison, the rest of the world has delivered ~250 tons to orbit so far this year, mostly by China.”
“@gvanrossum Flight code for the rockets and Starlink satellites is written in C and C++. Python is used where runtime performance is less important than rapid iteration and ease of use.”
“@WholeMarsBlog All US cars that are capable of FSD will be enabled for a one month trial this week”
