“@PPathole @Tesla @SpaceX Basic MRI is easier than it sounds good tbh. High resolution MRI in short time with weak magnetic field is hard.”

“@WholeMarsBlog About half the price of the standard dish to buy and monthly subscription, but you can still watch multiple 4k video streams simultaneously! 23ms latency. https://t.co/07bW5WgKKi”

“@BaptisteVicini No, it actually was an act of charity. But we can’t force other companies to make great electric vehicles. That is not within our power. At SpaceX, we don’t even bother with patents. Copy our rockets if you want.”

“@RealJamesWoods I hold one passport now & forever: America. I will live & die here. Or Mars (part of America).”

“@NASASpaceflight Yup. Next booster will have 33 Raptor 2 engines, with 13 steering. Ship is being upgraded to 9 engines (3 sea-level gimbaling, 6 vacuum fixed) with increased propellant load.”

“@SawyerMerritt @SpaceX SpaceX will ultimately deliver millions of tons to the Moon to build a self-growing city there and same for Mars”

“@SpaceX Pretty much everything I predicted in that talk has happened or is in process of happening”

“@WholeMarsBlog A lot of people thought Tesla stock would collapse as the tax credits came to an end this month. Guess not.”

“RT @DimaZeniuk: Elon Musk's reaction when he made history with the first successful landing of a Falcon 9 booster back on Earth https://t.c…”

“@WholeMarsBlog @karpathy The feeling is mutual. But I can’t emphasize enough that we work with an amazing team. The credit is theirs.”

“@stillgray Olbermann has achieved the impossible and gone BEYOND "full retard" 🤣🤣 SpaceX is the primary communication system of the Ukrainian military on the front lines, because everything else has been destroyed or jammed by the Russians!”

“RT @ElonClipsX: Elon Musk: I didn't need $180 million, so I thought I'd spend a bunch of it on a rocket to Mars. “In order to be highly mo…”

“@SERobinsonJr SpaceX/Tesla will be always be major customers of TSMC and not competitors in the normal sense of the word”

“RT @SpaceX: Liftoff of Starship's seventh flight test. The Super Heavy booster utilized flight proven hardware for the first time, reusing…”

“@WholeMarsBlog Tesla AI, both hardware & software, is deeply underestimated”

“RT @cb_doge: 🚨 ELON MUSK: Starlink will never turn off its terminals in Ukraine. "To be extremely clear, no matter how much I disagree wit…”

“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX Super proud of SpaceX propulsion/test/materials team! One of hardest technology problems. New high temp superalloy & internal foundry needed to make it work. Foundry iteration interval is ~3 weeks from design to flight part vs ~36 weeks typical for aerospace.”

“@SpaceX Testing Raptor in vertical configuration (on the giant tripod) should allow us to simplify some aspects of the engine design”

“@ErcXspace @smvllstvrs T/W will be ~1.5, so it will accelerate unusually fast. High T/W is important for reusable vehicles to make more efficient use of propellant, the primary cost. For expendable rockets, throwing away stages is the primary cost, so optimization is low T/W.”

“@WholeMarsBlog First I’ve learned of this. Will be patched shortly.”

“@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).”

“@DJSnM Booster landing was on target, ship landing was several km off due to flap damage, but both were soft landings”

“@WholeMarsBlog 🤣🤣 chief troll officer at ur service”

“@PPathole Mars looks amazing”

“@WholeMarsBlog This should be clear to anyone who has experienced the FSD beta evolution. Self-driving requires solving a major part of real-world AI, so it’s an insanely hard problem, but Tesla is getting it done. AI Day will be great.”

“@SpaceX We're going to spend the 4th doing a full review of rocket & pad systems. Launch no earlier than 5th/6th. Only one chance to get it right …”

“@SpaceXMR Tragically, it is not clear that the defense contractors can get to the moon for any amount of money. More than $200B has been spent on development of new US crewed space transport systems over past ~40 years, but only Dragon is flying. Development cost to NASA was <$2B.”

“@RenataKonkoly @Erdayastronaut And booster used to be 70m, but this required an awkward half barrel width of steel, so now it’s 69m”

“@aaronburnett Starship will profoundly affect the destiny of humanity”

“@arstechnica @SciGuySpace Falcon 9 is almost always at max capacity. When it has “spare” performance, it flies back to land, which costs much less than using a droneship. Our fundamental constraint is mass to orbit per unit time. Last year, SpaceX launched roughly double payload mass of rest of world.”

“SpaceX is still in the early stages of developing advanced micro-satellites operating in large formations. Announcement in 2 to 3 months.”

“RT @nvidia: From rockets to AI. Nine years after the original NVIDIA DGX-1 handoff, Jensen Huang delivered a brand-new DGX Spark to @ElonM…”

“@SpaceX In a few years, we will finally have a Raptor 3/4 vacuum version (giant nozzle) that has an Isp of 380”

“@alifarhat79 @alx Couldn’t sleep last night because of Starship launch”

“Target altitude of 40,600 km achieved. Thanks @SES_Satellites for riding on Falcon 9! Looking forward to future missions.”

“@WhatsupFranks @TeslaGong Currency is already digital! Decentralized crypto is an attempt to wrest power of currency dilution (pernicious form of taxation) & capital controls from governments. That said, I sure hope the cure is better than the disease! Mars/AI are essential to passing the great filter/s.”

“@thesheetztweetz Chris was an early employee of SpaceX, and made a significant contribution, but was not a cofounder”

“@PPathole @SpaceX @4thFromOurStar Sure hope so!”

“@WholeMarsBlog 10.69.2 has a relatively small number of code changes, but their practical effect will be significant”

“@FutureJurvetson @SpaceX Definitely one of the strangest meetings I’ve ever experienced. @adeoressi was there too.”

“@Tesmanian_com The magnitude of the Starship program is not widely appreciated. It is designed to extend life to Mars (and the moon), which requires ~1000 times more payload to orbit than all current Earth rockets combined.”

“@engineers_feed Hell of a rocket! Probably would have succeeded if Korolev had not died. Hopefully, Starship is more fortunate.”

“@WholeMarsBlog @rocker_261 @SawyerMerritt Training compute for Tesla is relatively small compared to inference compute, as the latter scales linearly with size of fleet. Perhaps the best way to think about it is in terms of power consumption. When the Tesla fleet reaches 100M vehicles, peak power consumption of AI…”

“@WholeMarsBlog Those are the biggest factors. ~80% of Tesla’s value will be Optimus.”

“@austinbarnard45 Total coincidence! Also, booster height was originally 70m, but we eliminated a half barrel for manufacturing efficiency, so now it’s …”

“@WholeMarsBlog It was a mistake to try to use the Elise. In the end, only ~5% of the Elise parts ended up being used. Tesla Roadster is a totally different car.”

“@Brian_J_Berger That dude is not just a “condition of anonymity” spineless coward, he’s also an ignorant fool. Starlink was directly requested by the Ukraine government, as it was the only thing that worked.”

“@RyanZohoury @WholeMarsBlog @semaforben Good point. Conflicts of interest should be made readily apparent to the reader.”

“@_opencv_ It’s all part of broader vision/strategy 😂 Starship 10 is launching on Sunday. Grok 5 begins training next month. Tesla Autopilot V14 also next month. Long-term strategy is compelling.”

“@jessica_kirsh @SpaceX Booster production is currently ahead of engine production”
