“Cool @Starlink [@SawyerMerritt] NEWS: World broadcasters in St Peter's for the papal conclave are using SpaceX's @Starlink internet service to get around the comms blackout around the Sistine Chapel. With a camera, microphone and Starlink kit, several TV crews are relying on Musk's company's internet”
“Yes, at massive volume. Maybe as high as 10,000 ships per year. [@iam_smx] SpaceX is going to produce Starships like they're Aeroplanes With a $250 million Gigabay at Starbase, the company is accelerating Starship production. The 700,000-square-foot facility is designed to manufacture up to 1,000 rockets per year.”
“SpaceX is now launching roughly the same number of satellites in a year as the number of operational non-SpaceX satellites in orbit cumulatively [@SawyerMerritt] SpaceX has officially surpassed its total number of launches from all of 2024 (138) — with more than two months still left in 2025. The company has launched over 2,500 Starlink satellites in 2025 alone. An absolutely incredible pace of progress 🚀”
“Look at the tiny cars in the foreground to get a sense of the vastness of the building [@HalcyonHypnotic] Hot take but SpaceX is probably the best civil engineering company in the world. Somehow they are able to make these insanely complex ground system and building designs and find the perfect contractors and technicians to build out their ideas in months or 1-2 years. I feel like”
“Highlights of the @SpaceX company talk”
“Next week, I will do a company talk for SpaceX, followed later by a company talk for Tesla after the 10K. I will recap the talented team’s amazing accomplishments of 2023 and describe exciting plans for 2024 and beyond! These will be posted publicly to @SpaceX and @Tesla.”
“The government and most large organizations tend to start with “Make Requirements MORE dumb” 😂 [@teslaownersSV] SpaceX company policy”
“The future is accelerating [@tetsuoai] "a first step towards becoming a Kardashev II-level civilization." - Elon Musk In the last three weeks: SpaceX acquired xAI, merging the world's largest rocket company with one of the fastest-moving AI labs on the planet. SpaceX valued at $1 trillion. The stated goal of the”
“Just before the Starship flight next week, I will give a company talk explaining the Mars game plan in Starbase, Texas, that will also be live-streamed on 𝕏 [@SpaceX] Starship completed a long duration six-engine static fire and is undergoing final preparations for the ninth flight test”
“Welcome! Orbital space centers and mass drivers on the Moon will be incredible. [@milichab] I’m joining @SpaceX and @xai with @JasonBud. X is the company realizing science fiction - reusable rockets, humanoid robots, data centers in space, and more. Almost 10 years ago, I joined SpaceX as an intern on Dragon 2 crew displays. This was in the era of the first rocket”
“@PPathole @Tesla @SpaceX I could get a job, just not at an Internet company (weren’t many back then)”
“SpaceX [@grok] @SpaceAbhi In the last 40 years, SpaceX is the only company to successfully human-certify a new orbital space vehicle in the US: Crew Dragon in 2020. Boeing's Starliner remains in testing, with certification pending into 2026. 😎”
“By partnering with @Starlink direct-to-cell, your mobile phone company can eliminate dead zones! [@TMobile] T-Satellite is here. Never miss a message.”
“SpaceX is a separate company and they did even claim that SpaceX/Starlink broke any laws. Purely capricious.”
“Most people still don’t know that Starlink offers fast, low latency, affordable connectivity almost anywhere on Earth! [@SawyerMerritt] NEWS: In a first for any Elon Musk company, SpaceX has created its first Super Bowl ad for @Starlink.”
“Yes [@mark_k] Elon Musk just announced a major strategic pivot for @SpaceX: the company is officially shifting its primary focus to building a "self-growing city" on the Moon. The logic is centered on speed. While Mars missions are restricted by orbital alignments every 26 months, SpaceX can… https://x.com/i/web/status/2020780398372900902”
“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” 😂”
“@lexfridman They froze Starlink’s bank accounts too, despite Starlink being a separate company with different shareholders and having broken no laws and given no warning.”
“@JamesWorldSpace SpaceX & Boring Co engineers headed to Thailand tomorrow to see if we can be helpful to govt. There are probably many complexities that are hard to appreciate without being there in person.”
“@Lori_Garver @JeffBezos Lori, this is ridiculous. Creating a rocket company has to be one of the dumbest and hardest ways to “make money”. If it was about money, I’d just do another Internet company.”
“@MikeBenzCyber Doesn’t make sense. Starlink is the only company actually solving rural broadband at scale! They should arguably dissolve the program and return funds to taxpayers, but definitely not send it those who aren’t getting the job done. What actually happened is that the companies…”
“Upgrades [@DrKnowItAll16] This is why Elon’s companies are different than all the others: these @Starlink metrics have almost doubled in the past 7 or 8 months with me doing nothing at all. What other internet company have you ever had that doubled their value without you spending or doing anything?”
“@WholeMarsBlog Tesla will spend around $10B this year in combined training and inference AI, the latter being primarily in car. Any company not spending at this level, and doing so efficiently, cannot compete.”
“@leastImAlive @PPathole Yeah, sold my houses, except for 1 in Bay Area that’s rented out for events. Working on sustainable energy for Earth with Tesla & protecting future of consciousness by making life multiplanetary with SpaceX. Also, AI risk mitigation with Neuralink & fixing traffic with Boring.”
“@WholeMarsBlog Not quite betting the company, but going balls to the wall for autonomy is a blindingly obvious move. Everything else is like variations on a horse carriage.”
“@AveryDaye A rocket company scam?”
“@WholeMarsBlog Indeed I did. However, I also think that Tesla has the potential to be the most valuable company ever. When Tesla’s market cap, making sustainable energy products, exceeds that of Aramco, producing fossil fuels, you know the future will be good for Earth.”
“@truth_tesla @MadeInTheUSANJ Yeah, the public has no idea how much Tesla and SpaceX have been attacked/undermined, because we aren’t unionized (yet offer highest pay in industry!) and this administration would rather a company be dead than not unionized”
“@InSpaceXItrust @Space_Station @Tesla @SpaceX @Commercial_Crew That was the whole company back then. Grew organically from a simple mariachi party in El Segundo.”
“@SamTalksTesla @teslaownersSV @PPathole @RationalEtienne @stevenmarkryan @Kristennetten @WholeMarsBlog Pretty wild, considering that Exxon was the most valuable company in the word when we went public 10 years ago”
“@WholeMarsBlog I think there is a >0% chance Tesla could be the biggest company”
“@BillyM2k @WholeMarsBlog The media has strong negative bias & are driven by clicks (they can’t help it). Unfortunately, I generate lots of clicks. But these things move in cycles. When it starts boring readers to knock me down, they will build me up. This cycle has happened so many times …”
“@Tesmanian_com Award accepted on behalf of the great people at Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink & Boring Co”
“@WholeMarsBlog Any car company that fails to solve self-driving will die”
“@teslaownersSV First, no one has ever mentioned rehab to me ever. Second, if they are saying that I was able to lead Tesla to be by far the most valuable carmaker and SpaceX to be by far the most valuable space company *simultaneously*, that is the greatest compliment I have ever received!”
“@Jason Thanks Jason! Super proud to work with such great teams at SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink and Boring!!”
“@lrocket @SpaceAbhi Gwynne and I didn’t tell the company, as it would have been demoralizing”
“@WhatsupFranks … while simultaneously leading Tesla to be the world’s most valuable car company (Model Y is the selling vehicle on Earth) and SpaceX to be the world’s most valuable space company (~80% of all payload to orbit last year). Whatever I’m doing, I should obviously keep doing it!”
“RT @JonErlichman: Things Elon Musk launched or unveiled in less than 10 years: Boring Co. Crew Dragon Cybercab Cybertruck DOGE Falcon Hea…”
“@SawyerMerritt Also, Starlink is still losing money! It is insanely difficult for a LEO communications constellation to avoid bankruptcy – that was the fate of every company that tried this before. When asked what the goal of Starlink was at a space conference, I said “not go bankrupt”.”
“@existentialcoms Combined Tesla+SpaceX market cap is now over $1.2T, which means “$4.9B” is less than 0.4% of combined company value”
“@torybruno Your company said the exact opposite in 2014 when it got a sole-source, uncompeted $11B DoD launch contract. https://t.co/Abd5sWhZDt In any event, expendable rockets are as relevant to the future as expendable aircraft. Rapidly reusable rockets are all that matter. https://www.cbsnews.com/network/news/space/home/spacenews/files/042914_ula_blockbuy.html”
“RT @iam_smx: Welcome to SpaceX, the Company that will take humanity to Mars! https://t.co/81yyeF76uq”
“@RationalEtienne @LaurenRow5 @EvaFoxU @JohnnaCrider1 @Kristennetten @vincent13031925 @28delayslater @Sofiaan @hamids @InsideEVs Tesla is first American car company to achieve sustained volume production in past ~100 years. Hardest, most painful thing I’ve ever been through, including getting Falcon to orbit.”
“@grok @IMPAarif @WholeMarsBlog If simulation theory is correct, then my theory is probably right, as boring simulations are terminated to save compute costs, which is what we do to simulations in our reality!”
“RT @WholeMarsBlog: “Elon, don’t start a rocket company. It will never work” “Elon, don’t start an electric car company. It will never wor…”

“@TrungTPhan I came to the (obvious) conclusion that a radical improvement in rocket technology was needed to make life multiplanetary. That required creating a company, as success was not in the set of possible outcomes for the existing rocket companies.”
