“March of the 10 thousand [@BassonBrain] Friday the 13th and 10,000 Starlink sats in orbit🔥 @SpaceX is targeting, weather permitting, double-header Falcon 9 launches from the East and West Coast to deploy 54 @Starlink satellites. ... one of these satellites will represent the first time SpaceX surpass 10,000 Starlink”
“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”
“Such is my nature [@GailAlfarATX] Sept 2023: Walter Isaacson tells Vanity Fair that Elon Musk is the most intense person he’s met, focused on engineering and expanding humanity to Mars. “Nobody else was that way.” Does Elon bring that same intensity to @DOGE or will he finally get enough sleep?”
“@neiltyson If we create a city on Mars, Earth-Mars travel will be a powerful forcing function for inventing something like warp drive”
“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”
“Dragon high altitude, supersonic abort test is a risky mission, as it’s pushing the envelope in so many ways”
“The zoomed-in section is cute [@FutureJurvetson] 🚀 The Q4 Rocket Report just came out, with a record breaking surge in launch activity. SpaceX had 97% share of U.S. launch, and 83% globally. China was 8%, Russia 4%, all other U.S. 3%, Korea 1%, Japan 0.6%, Europe 0.2%, and India 0.1%”
“💯 [@XFreeze] Elon Musk speaks hard truths on what Nelson Mandela actually stood for and how South Africa has completely lost that Starlink is still blocked in Elon's home country because he is not black "The vision that Nelson Mandela, a remarkable leader, proposed was for all races to”
“@Astro_Andreas You are fully retarded. SpaceX could have brought them back several months ago. I OFFERED THIS DIRECTLY to the Biden administration and they refused. Return WAS pushed back for political reasons. Idiot.”
“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.”
“@spideycyp_155 @WholeMarsBlog There seem to be 10 people “managing” for every one person coding”
“Internet connectivity brings prosperity [@XFreeze] Elon Musk explains how Starlink will actually move the GDP of countries “If you don’t have access to the internet, or it’s too expensive or low bandwidth, you cannot access MIT lessons, you can’t access information, and you can’t sell your goods and services” Starlink changes”
“Dragon blazing across the sky 10 times faster than a supersonic bullet [@DavidSHolz] me and my friends just watched a SpaceX crew capsule re-enter the atmosphere soaring with fire across the stars over San Francisco, it was way more beautiful and inspiring than i expected. imagining people safe inside of it felt emotional. gosh you could really see the flames!”
“Grok Imagine prompt: The bare necessities with a jovial grizzly bear in a sleek, silver spacesuit on Mars, rockets gleaming in the background under a crimson sunset glow. https://t.co/ECqOMFX1za”
“@shlomo_karhi We are not so naive. Per my post, no Starlink terminal has attempted to connect from Gaza. If one does, we will take extraordinary measures to confirm that it is used *only* for purely humanitarian reasons. Moreover, we will do a security check with both the US and Israeli…”
“SpaceX is accelerating rapidly. When Starship is launching several times a day in a few years, SpaceX will be ~99% of all Earth payload mass to orbit, even if the others triple their current launch rate. [@FutureJurvetson] 🚀 T͢h͢e͢ ͢Q͢3͢ ͢L͢a͢u͢n͢c͢h͢ ͢R͢e͢p͢o͢r͢t͢ ͢j͢u͢s͢t͢ ͢c͢a͢m͢e͢ ͢o͢u͢t͢🚀 For kg launched to orbit, SpaceX has 97% share for the U.S. and 83% globally. The eight Chinese launchers add up to 8.6%. Looking into the graph's magnifying box, IDF just nudged past Rocket Lab. https://x.com/i/web/status/1994495568291532883”
“@SenBillNelson @NASA @SpaceX Much appreciated, SpaceX will not let NASA down!”
“Dragon Crew Arm. Astronauts will walk this gantry to enter Dragon & depart for the @Space_Station. https://t.co/rKkUTeHson”
“@WholeMarsBlog Please advise people to be wary of margin loans. Tesla has always been a high variability stock, often with no obvious rhyme or reason. We are confident about long-term value creation, but cannot control the manic-depressive nature of the stock market.”
“@SpaceX Unfortunately, launch is called off for today, as an aircraft entered the “keep out zone”, which is unreasonably gigantic. There is simply no way that humanity can become a spacefaring civilization without major regulatory reform. The current regulatory system is broken.”
“@jaentwistle One of many reasons why we need larger & more advanced rockets!”
“Starship technical update [@SpaceX] The seventh flight test of Starship ended before reaching its ambitious goals. Lessons learned are being applied to future vehicles to make them more reliable. A technical summary of the investigation can be found here → http://spacex.com/updates/#flight-7-report)”
“@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.”
“Rocket LZ 1 and 2 https://t.co/gckyKKIK4I https://www.instagram.com/p/Be3sOnEA0DK/”
“@SenBillNelson @SpaceX Thank you on behalf of the SpaceX team”
“@FutureJurvetson @SpaceXStarlink @SpaceX It will get even simpler. Just two instructions for Starlink: plug in & point at sky. Can be done in either order.”
“@pwilsondtf @cb_doge Mars rise is next”
“Dragon Spacecraft supersonic abort test coming up either tomorrow or Sunday, depending on weather @NASA @SpaceX”
“@SpaceX Sonic boom incoming https://t.co/jWAyA0j5Xx”
“In advance of this, please try to hack Starlink & Tesla Mothership!”
“@FonsDK @WholeMarsBlog @jasondebolt @SawyerMerritt @teslaownersSV @forwardcap @farzyness @garyblack00 Reaching volume production & achieving positive cash flow is insanely hard”
“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.”
“@Kristennetten @SpaceX @EliBurton_ @EvaFoxU @JaneidyEve @austinbarnard45 @ElonsBrain @JasoN7Patterson @AstroJordy @RenataKonkoly Pretty much”
“@richardbranson @SpaceX @inspiration4x Thanks Richard!”
“Grok 4.20 is funny, based & smart 😂 [@mwheatfill] @wholemars Oh wow. Sonnet 4.6 and Opus 4.6 with Extended Thinking both failed this. Grok 4.2 with 4 agents succeeded however.”
“@WholeMarsBlog Actually, I like & use Apple products. They are just obviously overcharging with App Store. I mean 30% fees for doing almost zero incremental work is completely unreasonable. Epic wouldn’t bother processing their own payments if App Store fees were fair.”
“@BassonBrain It will get really nutty when Starship is launching every hour in 3 years”
“Flying with larger & significantly upgraded hypersonic grid fins. Single piece cast & cut titanium. Can take reentry heat with no shielding. https://t.co/SmyCCQRt2F https://x.com/spacex/status/878732650277617664”
“@wapodavenport @WalterIsaacson @jeff_foust Interesting. Smart move by China. Expendable rockets have no future.”
“@BLKMDL3 @RationalEtienne @Adamklotz_ Once we can predict cash flow reasonably well, Starlink will IPO”
“@ggreenwald Despite greatly helping Ukraine via Starlink, I was viciously attacked for stating the obvious a year ago. The reason I did so was in hopes of avoiding the sacrifice of a generation of men to the trenches for nothing.”
“@torybruno Good chart. This is a major reason why we moved Starlink from ~1100km orbit to ~550km. Atmosphere automatically clears the lower altitude within a few years, so space junk cannot accumulate.”
“@SenBillNelson @SpaceX Thank you, sir! Looking forward to serving NASA in returning humanity to the Moon.”
“Next rocket landing on drone ship in 2 to 3 weeks w way more hydraulic fluid. At least it shd explode for a diff reason.”
“@rookisaacman If civilization is reasonably stable for the next ~30 years, a self-sustaining city of a million+ people will be built on Mars”
“@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!”
“@rhemrajani9 @WholeMarsBlog @DavidSacks @JLinWins @BlueMoonTrades @MomAngtrades @DisruptorStocks @RinainDC @valueandtime @EvasTeslaSPlaid @Barchart @jasondebolt 🤣”
“@Jason cgi irl @spacex”
“@SERobinsonJr SpaceX/Tesla will be always be major customers of TSMC and not competitors in the normal sense of the word”
“@TeslaGong @torybruno At least a few years before Starlink revenue is reasonably predictable. Going public sooner than that would be very painful. Will do my best to give long-term Tesla shareholders preference.”
