“@WholeMarsBlog Banning alcohol caused the biggest rise in organized crime in American history. That was dumb. Same logic applies to other drugs. Alcohol is just a legacy drug.”
The tweet archive.
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.
“@WholeMarsBlog Not quite betting the company, but going balls to the wall for autonomy is a blindingly obvious move. Everything else is like variations on a horse carriage.”
“@MKBHD I’m not. Will use SpaceX cold gas thruster system with ultra high pressure air in a composite over-wrapped pressure vessel in place of the 2 rear seats.”
“@WholeMarsBlog I think the approved language these days is “height-challenged sellers””
“@LinusTech @SpaceXStarlink @SpaceX Awaiting approval from Canadian authorities”
“@Erdayastronaut @nextspaceflight @NASASpaceflight @BocaChicaGal @SpaceX Raptor production is approaching one every 48 hours”
“@Teslarati @RDAnglePhoto First orbital stack of Starship should be ready for flight in a few weeks, pending only regulatory approval”
“@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.”
“@wholemars Gonna happen 😂”
“Grok app now at rank 5 on App Store! [@cb_doge] BREAKING: Grok just moved to #5 overall app on the US AppStore. Downloads are skyrocketing. Was rank 56 a few weeks ago. You can try it too. Grok is free to download. Also, it is the fastest AI image & video generator out there.”
“RT @DavidSacks: Those astronauts are alive tonight because SpaceX prioritized extreme competence over everything else. If you want to have…”
“@BLKMDL3 @S3XYstarship @IWill_Travel @AOC Yes, but this is actually a good thing. It has been raining money on fools for too long. Some bankruptcies need to happen. Also, all the Covid stay-at-home stuff has tricked people into thinking that you don’t actually need to work hard. Rude awakening inbound!”
“Thank you for your trust in the @SpaceX team. Greatly appreciated.”
“@wholemars I must give @AnthropicAI credit here: Opus 4.5 is outstanding. They are doing particularly excellent work at the pretraining level. However, Grok wins when applied to logic (software is just logic at scale) that isn’t in the Opus pretraining. For example, the Tesla chip design… https://t.co/JkpPOYGJIN https://x.com/i/web/status/1998876157991952622”
“@teslaownersSV We are mapping out a game plan to get a million people to Mars. Civilization only passes the single-planet Great Filter when Mars can survive even if Earth supply ships stop coming.”
“@BLKMDL3 @Apple @SpaceX We’ve had some promising conversations with Apple about Starlink connectivity. iPhone team is obv super smart. For sure, closing link from space to phone will work best if phone software & hardware adapt to space-based signals vs Starlink purely emulating cell tower.”
“@ScottAdamsSays @johniadarola @SenWarren I love Dilbert! Use it all the time to illustrate that we’re doing something wrong at Tesla/SpaceX if it could be a Dilbert cartoon irl. This happens more often than I’d like (sigh).”
“@spideycyp_155 @SawyerMerritt @SpaceX In addition to terminals, we have to create, launch, maintain & replenish satellites & ground stations & pay telcos for access to Internet via gateways. We’ve also had to defend against cyberattacks & jamming, which are getting harder. Burn is approaching ~$20M/month.”
“@cb_doge Much appreciated! We will do our best to serve the people of India with Starlink.”
“@JimBridenstine @NASA @SpaceX @Commercial_Crew Thanks on behalf of the @SpaceX team! Thank you also for the support @NASA has provided over the years, without which this would not have happened.”
“@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!”
“@Erdayastronaut @michaelhodapp_ 1. Orbital launch tower that can stack 2. Enough Raptors for orbit booster 3. Improve ship & booster mass”
“@Erdayastronaut @NASA @SpaceX Mars needs to happen soon”
“@BillyM2k @WholeMarsBlog The media has strong negative bias & are driven by clicks (they can’t help it). Unfortunately, I generate lots of clicks. But these things move in cycles. When it starts boring readers to knock me down, they will build me up. This cycle has happened so many times …”
“@JohnnaCrider1 @Iupsychdoctor @AOC @RobinhoodApp Shopify is great too. SpaceX used them.”
“@WholeMarsBlog It would be great, but subject to board and shareholder approval”
“RT @MarshaBlackburn: Last month, Apple News posted ZERO articles by right-leaning outlets and more than 400 by left-leaning outlets. I se…”
“@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.”
“@tobyliiiiiiiiii This is intended for Earth, but there may be some ideas that apply to Mars too”
“@RyanZohoury @WholeMarsBlog @semaforben Good point. Conflicts of interest should be made readily apparent to the reader.”
“@WholeMarsBlog I don’t comment on everything, as sometimes I don’t see it and commenting on everything makes it easy to fish for information. The take rate is much higher than 2%. Please.”
“@WholeMarsBlog Our NNs didn’t have any temporal & spatial memory or surround video auto-labeling back then – everything was knitted together in C++ from single frames with manual labeling. Still much to improve.”
“@WholeMarsBlog @StuartZuckerma1 ~4.5X increase in params should be ready for wide release later this year. Super frugal use of memory bandwidth, caching exactly what is needed & squeezing microseconds out of everything are needed to maintain the frame rate. And the whole system needs to be retrained.”
“@arstechnica @SciGuySpace They are aiming too low. Only rockets that are fully & rapidly reusable will be competitive. Everything else will seem like a cloth biplane in the age of jets.”
“@arstechnica @SciGuySpace We’re just trying to get people to Mars. Help would be appreciated.”
“@Adamklotz_ @SpaceX BN1 is a manufacturing pathfinder, so will be scrapped. We learned a lot, but have already changed design to BN2. Goal is to get BN2 with engines on orbital pad before end of April. It might even be orbit-capable if we are lucky.”
“@wholemars AI chips are needed for everything”
“RT @SpaceX: Initial Super Heavy V3 and Starbase Pad 2 activation campaign complete, wrapping up several days of testing that loaded cryogen…”
“@SP_LimitReviews @Tesla @CodingMark @Manic_Marge @teslainventory @WholeMarsBlog Lot of good work happening on Tesla sound codec & audio software in general. Aiming for maximum music dopamine in your brain!”
“Max recovered booster velocity was Mach 7.9 (BulgarianSat). Energy is velocity squared, so this is a bigger difference than it appears”
“@ajtourville @SpaceX That is exactly the problem. The Biden/Harris administration absolutely could override the California Coastal Commission, but they are doing everything they can to damage SpaceX.”
“@nextspaceflight Stage Zero, which is everything needed to launch & catch the rocket, is at least as hard as the booster or ship”
“@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.”
“@WholeMarsBlog We are waiting for regulatory approval”
“@WholeMarsBlog Berlin will use 4680 cell with structural battery pack & front & rear single piece castings. Also, a new paint system. Lot of new technology will happen in Berlin, which means significant production risk. Fremont & Shanghai will transition in ~2 years when new tech is proven.”
“Thoughtful Op-ed in Space News much appreciated https://t.co/CJq5g3NIEK http://spacenews.com/op-ed-despite-spacex-setback-future-of-private-space-exploration-is-bright/”
“Deeply honored and appreciative of the trust that @NASA has placed in @SpaceX for the future of human spaceflight”
“@SciGuySpace SpaceX provided its knowledge of crewed parachute systems to Boeing and we are happy to be helpful in any other ways. Designing parachutes for orbital, crewed spacecraft is much harder than it may seem. Was a major challenge for SpaceX.”
“@WholeMarsBlog @teslaownersSV @SpaceX I’m driving “alpha” 9, but we need to fix some obvious issues before releasing beta 9, hopefully next week. FSD subscription capability should be turning on via the Tesla app.”
“@BrentM_SpaceX @xai The @xAI Colossus team is great. Thanks also to the many contractors, the TVA and others who have helped make it happen!”
