“We are honing in on the V3 Starship design. @SpaceX is tracking to a Starship launch rate of once a week in ~12 months. That will yield ~100 tons to @Starlink orbit with full reusability. Profound breakthrough. [@MarcusHouse] I'm not sure people really understand the ridiculous pace with SpaceX breaking new records almost every week. Can you imagine what it is going to be like with 2 (or soon even 3) Starship launch towers active!? 🚀 It's going to be nuts! Let's go! 🤯 https://youtu.be/ygwKEKu-6wg”

“Formal announcement of the TERAFAB project, which will be done jointly by @SpaceX and @Tesla, tonight around 8pm CT. Livestream on 𝕏. The goal is to produce over a TERAWATT of compute per year (logic, memory & packaging) with ~80% for space and ~20% for the ground.”
“It’s nuts that all other rockets just smash back to Earth! “The Falcon has landed” almost 500 times. [@teslaownersSV] Elon Musk on Rocket Reusability: “Imagine a pallet of cash falling from space, about to burn up. Would you try to save it? Probably yes.” “So we want to get it back that way, we don’t have to make another one.””
“Starship V3 booster & ship will be ready for their first test flight in a few weeks [@XFreeze] Both Starship and the Super Heavy Booster have successfully completed the static fire tests and are ready to take to the skies Every test brings us one step closer to making humanity multi-planetary "Engineering is the closest thing to magic that exists in the real world" —”
“Try out self-driving in a Tesla. It will greatly improve your quality of life and may save your life. [@Scobleizer] I was on @wholemars space this afternoon while my Model 3 drove me for a couple of hours to drop off my taxes. And found myself quite emotional listening to others' stories about theirs. I'll never sell it. It is the best thing I've ever spent money on beyond marriage and”
“@spideycyp_155 @WholeMarsBlog There seem to be 10 people “managing” for every one person coding”
“Best part is no part [@SpaceX] They’ll also be used for vehicle lift and catch, made possible by a new catch point addition and a lower positioning on the booster to align with the tower catch arms. Moving lower reduces the heat they receive from Starship’s engines at hot-staging and places the fin shaft,”
“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!”
“Definitely [@aaronburnett] Cathie discussing SpaceX convergence on orbital data centers and reusable rockets with Peter and friends. Ark and team deserve a ton of credit for not only recognizing that last year was the right time to begin diving deep into SpaceX modeling, but also for being so generous with… https://x.com/i/web/status/2017690607318405419”
“@jack 2029 feels like a pivotal year. I’d be surprised if we don’t have AGI by then. Hopefully, people on Mars too.”
“@WholeMarsBlog We could’ve made a 600 mile Model S 12 months ago, but that would’ve made the product worse imo, as 99.9% of time you’d be carrying unneeded battery mass, which makes acceleration, handling & efficiency worse. Even our 400+ mile range car is more than almost anyone will use.”
“@MattWalshBlog It is insane how many people have asked me if the moon landings are fake. The are indeed obviously real. Indeed, just as real as the tragic fact that we haven’t been back there in half a century. We should have built a permanent base on the moon and Mars by now!”
“To activate the Model X holiday performance, just type holidays or ModelXmas after pressing the logo. Also, Mars. https://t.co/8Cy7YPlECX”
“@TeslaOwnersEBay @Kristennetten @RationalEtienne @EvaFoxU @JohnnaCrider1 @TeslaChillMode @CodingMark @Model3Owners @WholeMarsBlog @AustinTeslaClub I’m trying to set a good example! Population collapse is a much bigger problem than people realize and that’s just for Earth. Mars has a great need for people, seeing as population is currently zero. Humans are the custodians of other life on Earth. Let us bring life to Mars!”
“@WholeMarsBlog This variant of the Model Y doesn’t start production in the US until the end of next year. Might not ever, given the advent of self-driving in America.”
“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX @Blackmagic_News @andrutay @bstineman @SpacePadreIsle @considercosmos Standing down SN11 until probably Monday. Additional checkouts are needed. Doing our best to land & fully recover.”
“@cleantechnica 2.1 sec 0-60 mph is base model before adding rocket thruster option”
“@RenataKonkoly Maybe we should make an actual Starship model that dispenses pez for our merch store”
“@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”
“@bluemoondance74 @NASASpaceflight @SpaceX “Comes in discreet packaging””
“@WholeMarsBlog We are focusing on just Model Y with HW4 for the initial release. Make sure that works well, then broaden. This has the 5X increase in parameters. HW3 would run the same parameter count, but requires extra work to optimize the code.”
“@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.”
“@WholeMarsBlog We should dispense with the false idea that money is somehow relevant in an AGi future”
“@WholeMarsBlog I think we may have figured out some aspects of AGI. The car has a mind. Not an enormous mind, but a mind nonetheless.”

“@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!”
“@WholeMarsBlog It is increasingly clear that all roads lead to AGI. Tesla is building an extremely compute-efficient mini AGI for FSD.”
“@JasonDanheiser @WholeMarsBlog @28delayslater Self-driving cars & useful humanoid robots require a sophisticated understanding of reality. I am increasingly convinced that they are on the path to solving AGI. Should AGI be solved? I don’t know, but humanity is moving rapidly in this direction whether I like it or not.”
“@SawyerMerritt @WholeMarsBlog Model X is an extremely difficult car to build. Most complex passenger car ever. Limiting factor is interior trim.”
“@Model3Owners @TrungTPhan It took an utterly insane amount of work to move the SpaceX & Tesla success probabilities above ~zero”
