15 years of Elon, fully searchable. The production archive uses Supabase as the source of truth, with 94,952 indexed tweets available in development as a full-archive fallback and a curated annotation layer for context, theory, and how major claims aged.
“@Gfilche @realGeorgeHotz @WholeMarsBlog World-class software aces are joining Twitter”
“Technically, two parts: Starship is the spaceship/upper stage & Super Heavy is the rocket booster needed to escape Earth’s deep gravity well (not needed for other planets or moons)”
“Falcon 9 fairing opens its parafoil after reentering the atmosphere https://t.co/WWz7MhmKaM https://www.instagram.com/p/BiQ5qXnA_OM/?utm_source=twitter”
“@Erdayastronaut @thesheetztweetz @BryceSpaceTech @SpaceX @Arianespace @ArianeGroup @roscosmos @northropgrumman @ulalaunch @torybruno @isro @RocketLab The Starship fleet is designed to achieve over 1000 times more payload to orbit than all other rockets on Earth combined. Almost no one understands this.”
“@rookisaacman Starship is the first rocket/spaceship with the potential to make life multiplanetary”
“@LHSummers @federalreserve @DavidWestin @BloombergTV Between, Tesla, Starlink & Twitter, I may have more real-time global economic data in one head than anyone ever”
“Simulation of how the SpaceX Interplanetary Spaceship and Rocket design would work. Will be… https://t.co/yWYDxtAKQP https://www.instagram.com/p/BZdZdSZAtQf/”
“@thesheetztweetz Filing legal actions against SpaceX is *actually* his full-time job https://t.co/XifRICQ62k”
“@thesheetztweetz @NASAKennedy @SpaceX It is hard to overstate criticality of reusable rockets. No less important than reusable aircraft, cars or bicycles. Essential for humanity to become a multiplanet species & backup the biosphere.”
“@thesheetztweetz @QuiltyAnalytics First Starship orbital flight will be with Raptor 2 engines, as they are much more capable & reliable. 230 ton or ~500k lb thrust at sea level. We’ll have 39 flightworthy engines built by next month, then another month to integrate, so hopefully May for orbital flight test.”
“@InfographicTony @MarcusHouse @FelixSchlang @considercosmos @GregScott_photo @LunarCaveman @SpaceX @SpacesFuture @TJ_Cooney @LabPadre @Erdayastronaut Three center Raptors of Booster will fire at ~50% thrust during hot staging”
“@thesheetztweetz @SpaceX @USCG @PortCanaveral Glad we could help”
“@thesheetztweetz SpaceX has sued to be *allowed* to compete, BO is suing to stop competition”
“@marmars Major video upgrades coming to this platform!”
“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX I super support public spaces around our production & launch sites, wherever it can be done safely and securely. When covid passes, we will open up our restaurant to the public & figure out ways to allow limited access to the High Bar.”
“@thesheetztweetz @QuiltyAnalytics SpaceX default plan was ~65% of global launch mass to orbit this year. Incremental demand might take that to ~70%, so not a major change. Those numbers don’t count Starship. Rough math is ~16 tons * 50 launches = 800 tons. Rest of world is <400 tons (mostly China).”
“Congrats to the @SpaceX Falcon Team! [deleted tweet]”
“@thesheetztweetz Chris was an early employee of SpaceX, and made a significant contribution, but was not a cofounder”
“@yousuck2020 Thanks for helping fund a rocket & spaceship that could take humanity beyond Earth!”
“@WholeMarsBlog @SawyerMerritt @Tesla He doesn’t get enough negative feedback. This platform is great for that :).”
“@thesheetztweetz Work needed between flights is less & less, as shown by shortening time between reflights. Required work between flights for Starship & Super Heavy is zero.”
“@thesheetztweetz 4 significant items: - Final heat shield tiles for ship - Thermal protection of booster engines - Ground propellant storage tanks - QD arm for ship 2 weeks.”
“@WholeMarsBlog Me & this platform, for example”

“@cnunezimages @SpaceX @SpaceIntellige3 Can I retweet this in cropped form?”
“@RajveerJolly We are developing the interplanetary rocket and spaceship to allow anyone to travel to the moon, Mars & beyond, regardless of nationality”
“Presentation of @SpaceX Interplanetary Spaceship & Rocket design from 2016 https://t.co/3b1YWWmmxg https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=H7Uyfqi_TE8”
“@marmars Please add your suggestions for features & fixes in this reply thread. We want video on this platform to be the best in the world.”
“@thesheetztweetz @Thom_astro @SpaceX @ISS_Research @Space_Station Great shots by @Thom_astro”
“@WholeMarsBlog True. We are working on a feature where the car identifies probable viable parking spaces. You tap on one, exit the vehicle and it parks there.”
“@chainsawdotcom @CL207 SpaceX Starlink bought a tiny – not large – ad package to test effectiveness of Twitter advertising in Australia & Spain. Did same for FB/Insta/Google.”
“@tobyliiiiiiiiii @RationalEtienne @SPEXcast @William_M_Brown @PPathole @thesheetztweetz @waEMD @SpaceX @SpaceXStarlink @WANationalGuard Oh yeah, Starship update coming in about 3 weeks. The design has coalesced. What is presented will actually be what flies to orbit as V1.0 with almost no changes.”
“@NASAEarthMars That is quite an interesting story. We sent what appeared to be identical emails to all, but each was actually coded with either one or two spaces between sentences, forming a binary signature that identified the leaker.”
“@thesheetztweetz @BryceSpaceTech @SpaceX @Arianespace @ArianeGroup @roscosmos @northropgrumman @ulalaunch @torybruno @isro @RocketLab Actually, 41 tons for SpaceX in Q3 & aiming for 80 tons in Q4. That said, China launch mass to orbit is extremely impressive.”
“@thesheetztweetz Full & rapid reusability is the holy grail of orbital rocketry”
“@TitterDaily @WholeMarsBlog Twitter is an accelerant for X”
“@lrocket @thesheetztweetz Yeah”
“@WholeMarsBlog I just watched this at 2X speed on this platform”
“12m rocket booster diameter, 17m spaceship diameter, 122 m stack height”
“RT @spacesudoer: Starship fully stacked for Flight 9. Launch NET May 27. https://t.co/GdM6aljIRU”
“@Erdayastronaut @thesheetztweetz @BryceSpaceTech @SpaceX @Arianespace @ArianeGroup @roscosmos @northropgrumman @ulalaunch @torybruno @isro @RocketLab True”
“@spacesudoer Shana is awesome. Many years ago, I asked her to lead the early VTOL development of Falcon (aka Grasshopper) and she did great work. Now, Shana is a senior member of the Starship engineering team.”
“@torybruno @ChadBowman0 @thesheetztweetz Now, this sort of nonsense happens all the time with government contracts & everyone knows it. However, in this case, it is money diverted from making life multiplanetary, which is the goal of SpaceX, vs the ULA goal of maximizing dividends to Lockheed & Boeing. Not ok.”
“@thesheetztweetz @BryceSpaceTech @SpaceX @roscosmos @Arianespace @ArianeGroup @northropgrumman @RocketLab @ulalaunch @VirginOrbit @torybruno Upmass is what matters. One Starship will lift what all Falcons did in Q2 on a single flight.”
“@teslaownersSV @BillyM2k @WholeMarsBlog Maybe Twitter can become that”
“@thesheetztweetz It does not serve the public to hamstring Starlink today for an Amazon satellite system that is at best several years away from operation”
“@Universe_SkyArt @TwitterSupport I just sent a note to Twitter to clarify that posting SpaceX videos is fine by us and we paid for rights to Bowie song for the Falcon Heavy launch”
“Sounds like this might be a good time to unveil the new Dragon Mk 2 spaceship that @SpaceX has been working on w @NASA. No trampoline needed”
“@JohnnaCrider1 @TwitterSupport @Teslarati @WholeMarsBlog 🤔”
