“@SamTalksTesla @teslaownersSV @PPathole @RationalEtienne @stevenmarkryan @Kristennetten @WholeMarsBlog Pretty wild, considering that Exxon was the most valuable company in the word when we went public 10 years ago”
“@SawyerMerritt @SpaceX SpaceX will ultimately deliver millions of tons to the Moon to build a self-growing city there and same for Mars”
“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…”
“@TeslaLarry SpaceX even launched competing satellite constellations with no markup. Same price for all.”
“@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.”
“@SamTalksTesla @RationalEtienne @thirdrowtesla @wholemarslog @28delayslater @vincent13031925 @teslaownersSV Haha true”
“@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.”
“@RationalEtienne @Adamklotz_ SpaceX needs to pass through a deep chasm of negative cash flow over the next year or so to make Starlink financially viable. Every new satellite constellation in history has gone bankrupt. We hope to be the first that does not.”

“@tobyliiiiiiiiii @Erdayastronaut @NASASpaceflight Might just catch the ship with the launch tower, same as booster”
“@IlyaRosenberg @Caspar_Stanley @Erdayastronaut @SpaceX @SuperHeavyBN3 They are now the same (LOX below CH4). Ox is 3.5 times heavier than fuel, so makes sense to have it lower.”
“@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”
“Most telling is that the SpaceX Propulsion CTO switched from driving a Porsche 911 Turbo S to a Model X”
“@WholeMarsBlog I once did a road trip across most of US with 2 adults & 5 kids in a Model S!”

“@WholeMarsBlog We should change that so the yoke is stationary, as it is not mechanically coupled to the wheels. Same goes for when it is on Autopilot.”
“@ID_AA_Carmack The right way to grade any technology is not comparing it to competitors (too easy), but comparing it to the limit of physics. That is, for example, how we grade Starlink latency, which shows that there is still a *lot* of room for improvement! Same for $/ton to Mars.”

“@WholeMarsBlog Eventually, you will probably be able to upload a good approximation of your memories & mind state to “the cloud” with the ability to download it to a humanoid robot. You obviously won’t be quite the same as you are today.”
“RT @Gwynne_Shotwell: From learning to land a rocket to flying the same booster 30 times! Congrats to the @SpaceX team for continuing to ma…”
“@PPathole Booster has 2 pins for lifting & catching, although maybe it’s better to modify grid fins to take more load. Something will need to flip out from leeward side of top of ship to do same there. Maybe it’s part of fwd flaps, but prob not. Diff solutions for diff load paths.”
“@Erdayastronaut @Blamblas @latimes @SpaceX @blueorigin Exactly. Mars propellant production will combine atmospheric CO2 & water (ice) to make CH4 (methane) & O2. Will do same on Earth long-term. Short-term, each Falcon flight uses roughly same fuel mass as a 747 flight. Falcon is ~71% oxygen & Starship is ~78%, so mostly not fuel.”
“@wintonARK @SciGuySpace We’re still going to Mars and the timeframe for building a self-growing city there is still about the same at 20 to 30 years. It’s possible that revenue from lunar activities might actually accelerate Mars.”
“@Erdayastronaut Hot-staging gives the best performance, but needs to be done without blowing up the booster!”
“RT @SpaceX: SpaceX shares the same goal as NASA of returning to the Moon with a permanent presence as expeditiously and safely as possible.…”
“@Erdayastronaut @i_gvf @SciGuySpace Exactly. Chartering a dedicated 747 flight around the world costs less than buying a small, single engine turboprop plane. In the same way, a giant reusable rocket flight is way cheaper than a tiny expendable rocket that can be used only once.”
“@RGVaerialphotos Imagine seeing this view on your way to Mars ✨”
“@Erdayastronaut @NASASpaceflight @BocaChicaGal @TheFavoritist The ship rings are thicker than they need to be (for now), so same thickness works for booster & ship for hoop stress. Booster lower tank will have longitudinal stiffeners to prevent buckling.”
“@sampullara @Starlink Agreed. I guess Starlink could offer that directly too.”
“Model S product call at 11 today. Rocket discussion at noon on Monday.”
