“Correct [@AJamesMcCarthy] I keep getting comments about how this is a waste of taxpayer money Starship development is privately funded through Starlink subscriptions When NASA buys launches to put payloads into space, it’s because it was the cheapest option, which saves taxpayer money Hope this helps!”

“Both JSON and natural language work for Grok Imagine. And remember to keep updating your @Grok app, as we release improvements every few days! [@MemesOfMars] @xmliisu Why so complicated? @Grok knows human language and doesn’t render JSON: so it removes all brackets, quotes, colons before rendering. What Grok actually sees: ——— Hyper-realistic cinematic portrait in 8K resolution, Photography (DSLR) with 85mm f/1.4 lens, sharp focus on face… https://x.com/i/web/status/1993040129884029075”

“@angilly I don’t get the little ship thing. You can’t show up at Mars in something the size of a rowboat. What if there are Martians? It would be so embarrassing.”
“@WholeMarsBlog Yeah, but I didn’t leak it to NYT. They must have got it through friends of friends. I heard from multiple people at TED that Gates still had half billion short against Tesla, which is why I asked him, so it’s not exactly top secret.”
“Immortality can be yours! [@EthanHe_42] 3 steps to exist forever in the universe: 1. Suggest your biography to 2. Copies are sent to the Moon, Mars and beyond. 3. Grokipedia becomes the Encyclopedia Galactica and won't be lost. Your story may be read by aliens in a galaxy very far far away one… http://Grokipedia.com”
“@Astro_Angry Unless it is stopped, the woke mind virus will destroy civilization and humanity will never reached Mars”

“The chart below is due for an update, but is roughly accurate. Flight 6 liftoff thrust is ~7500 tons and mass is ~5000 tons. The tanker version of Starship V3 will weigh over 7000 tons. By comparison, the heaviest Boeing 747 is less than 500 tons fully loaded.”
“@WholeMarsBlog I’m a big believer in citizen journalism and following individual journalists over publications!”
“@xDaily Back to spending 24/7 at work and sleeping in conference/server/factory rooms. I must be super focused on 𝕏/xAI and Tesla (plus Starship launch next week), as we have critical technologies rolling out. As evidenced by the 𝕏 uptime issues this week, major operational”

“@WholeMarsBlog That is why we must clear out bots, spam & scams. Is something actually public opinion or just someone operating 100k fake accounts? Right now, you can’t tell. And algorithms must be open source, with any human intervention clearly identified. Then, trust will be deserved.”
“Starbase is an area that experiences storms and hurricanes that are far more serious than Starship launches. The real headline of this article is boring, because it would say “Starship Launches Cause No Damage” 😂”
