“Exactly [@canraptor_] Elon isn’t just being hyperbolic, overriding contracts like how Sean Duffy is doing is what actually KILLS astronauts. It happened before with the Challenger disaster, Thiokol, the manufacturer of the Boosters, warned against launching because the O-rings were getting stiff and”
“Cool [@SawyerMerritt] United Airlines Starlink review: "Throughout the 90-minute flight, I regularly clocked download speeds of over 100 Mbps, with speeds peaking at 222 Mbps. I was able to download the YouTube app (308.4 MB) in seconds, watch YouTube videos, stream shows, listen to Spotify and even”
“100GW/year of solar-powered AI satellites requires 100GW/year of AI computers … [@niccruzpatane] Elon is not messing around. SpaceX has just filed an application with the FCC seeking authority to launch and operate a massive new satellite constellation dedicated to orbital data centers. ITS HAPPENING. Tesla Terafab is next.”
“@owillis About half my money is intended to help problems on Earth & half to help establish a self-sustaining city on Mars to ensure continuation of life (of all species) in case Earth gets hit by a meteor like the dinosaurs or WW3 happens & we destroy ourselves”
“Super good Starlink internet deal available in parts of the US that are not already at full capacity! [@SawyerMerritt] NEWS: SpaceX has introduced a new cheaper $40 per month @Starlink plan in the U.S. with speeds up to 100 Mbps.

“@ChrisO_wiki It is a violation of commercial Starlink terms of service to use the terminal for weapon systems. This applies to all users and is shut down when discovered. There is a separate network called Starshield, which is operated by the US government. This is not under SpaceX control.”
“Cool. Starlink satellite direct to phone version 2 constellation will be much better. Medium resolution video. [@SawyerMerritt] SpaceX cellular @Starlink review: I Tested Video Chats on T-Mobile's Cellular Starlink, and It Was Pretty Mind-Blowing. "On a remote beach in Northern California, my Pixel 10 connected to satellites 200 miles overhead, allowing me to make video calls on WhatsApp, post tweets,”
“Medium resolution images, music & audio podcasts should work with the current generation Starlink direct-to-phone constellation. Next generation constellation will do medium resolution video. [@MarioNawfal] 🚨GAME CHANGER: APPLE QUIETLY ADDS STARLINK TO IPHONES IN iOS 18.3 Apple just opened iPhone doors to Starlink's satellite network, giving users an alternative to their Globalstar service for off-grid communication.

“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.

“There is a good chance of achieving full reusability of Starship this year. Full and immediate reflight of Starship, along with orbital refilling, probably happens next year. This is the fundamental breakthrough needed to make life multiplanetary. [@cb_doge] BREAKING: Elon Musk says he believes the ship will achieve reusability this year and that the entire stack—ship and booster—will achieve rapid reusability next year. This is the fundamental breakthrough required for life to become multiplanetary. )”
“Will be interesting to see how this is used [@ID_AA_Carmack] Starlink announced a $5/month plan that gives unlimited usage at 500kbits/s. Modern apps and web pages would immediately back up every buffer and make for a painful experience, but it is fun to consider optimizing inside that tight box (in the 90s, 4x ISDN was high end!).”
“@teslaownersSV SpaceX will be ready to launch Starship in a few weeks, then launch timing depends on FAA license approval. Assuming that takes a few weeks, first launch attempt will be near end of third week of April, aka …”

“Please add your voice to the public comments. Support is greatly appreciated! Humanity’s future on the moon, Mars & beyond depends upon it. Thanks, Elon”
“That’s what’s happened [@micsolana] I imagine this is true in every major metro in the country. when you outlaw development, and then spend a half century paying poor people to live in otherwise expensive cities, any remaining housing skyrockets in value. now your city is for millionaires and the homeless only.”
“Was just up in the booster propulsion section. Damage appears to be minor, but we need to inspect all the engines. Best to do this in the high bay.”

“@WholeMarsBlog We have a real shot at late February. March launch attempt appears highly likely.”
“@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.”
“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.”
“Just wanted to write a note of appreciation for all those who have supported Tesla, SpaceX & SolarCity over the years. Thank you.”
“Grid fin hydraulic pump stalled, so Falcon landed just out to sea. Appears to be undamaged & is transmitting data. Recovery ship dispatched.”
“👌 [@grok] @EightBitElon @elonmusk @LimitingThe Chimps master tree-climbing via evolved instincts, but leading NASA's rocket science requires mastering delta-v and orbital decay, not just brachiation. Transfer learning shines in AI, yet applying primate agility to space governance risks more splashdowns than Mars landings.”
“Congratulations @SpaceX team! Thanks @NASA, much appreciated.”
“@lrocket Thanks for everything you did to help build SpaceX! Some of the best memories ever.”

“Looks like @SpaceX Starhopper flight may be as soon as Monday. FAA support is much appreciated!”
“@SpaceX Looks like engine 2 had issues on ascent & didn’t reach operating chamber pressure during landing burn, but, in theory, it wasn’t needed. Something significant happened shortly after landing burn start. Should know what it was once we can examine the bits later today.”
“@PPathole @SpaceX That’s our initial interstage design that we scrapped”
“@MattWallace888 My primary home is literally a ~$50k house in Boca Chica / Starbase that I rent from SpaceX. It’s kinda awesome though. Only house I own is the events house in the Bay Area. If I sold it, the house would see less use, unless bought by a big family, which might happen some day.”

“@cb_doge Yes. That will happen on either the 2nd or 3rd Earth-Mars launch window, so roughly 5 to 7 years from now. The key question is whether Earth’s current civilizational technology level will last long enough to ensure that Mars can grow by itself, even if supply ships from Earth…”
