“@GailAlfarATX @JohnnaCrider1 @WholeMarsBlog @TeslaOwnersEBay @RationalEtienne @EvaFoxU @Boxabl I’ve actually been living in a ~$50k house in south Texas for past 2 years, not Boxabl (cool product tho). Feels more homey to live in a small house.”

“Total revenue that SpaceX will receive from NASA this year is ~$1B out of ~$15B total, so ~7%. Moreover, NASA is paying SpaceX for astronaut & cargo transport to the Space Station, launching research satellites and some work for returning to the Moon. All of these contracts”
“@GailAlfarATX @SpaceX @RGVaerialphotos @cnunezimages @kanyewest @SciGuySpace @Erdayastronaut @dogecoin @BillyM2k @austinbarnard45 @NASA Absolutely!”
“@Tesmanian_com If a severe global recession were to dry up capital availability / liquidity while SpaceX was losing billions on Starlink & Starship, then bankruptcy, while still unlikely, is not impossible. GM & Chrysler went BK last recession. “Only the paranoid survive.” – Grove”
“Video of MIT's entrant into the SpaceX Hyperloop competition. Air has been removed from the Hyperloop tube to almost vacuum conditions. https://t.co/bAP7kDKzHs https://x.com/mithyperloop/status/825871420638978048”
“@wholemars Gonna happen 😂”
“@astro_kimbrough @SpaceX Hello @Space_Station, great pic! (That’s me waving)”
“@teslaownersSV @heydave7 @WholeMarsBlog @WSJ Call them out on it, I guess. WSJ is supposed to have a high standard for journalism and, right now, they are way sub tabloid. WSJ should be running stories that actually matter to their readers and have solid factual basis, not third-party random hearsay.”
“Bottom half of Starship at night. Top half with forward fins & header tanks probably stacks on Wednesday. Three Raptors already installed. https://t.co/haq3m1V1Wm”
“@BassonBrain It will get really nutty when Starship is launching every hour in 3 years”
“@timetravelart Maybe drive an upright Falcon 9 past the White House flying a giant Stars & Stripes with a marching band playing “I can see clearly now”?”
“@BillyM2k With Starlink, you could stream video & play online games”
“@DimaZeniuk Don’t want to get complacent, but if civilization keeps advancing, humans will reach Mars in 5 to 10 years. What really matters is building a self-sustaining civilization on Mars, which will take another 20 to 30 years.”
“@LHSummers @federalreserve @DavidWestin @BloombergTV Between, Tesla, Starlink & Twitter, I may have more real-time global economic data in one head than anyone ever”
“@schrep @SpaceX Not really a moat – just a much higher rate of innovation than competitors”
“@SpaceX Probably 1/3 chance of completing all mission objectives”
“@bindureddy Google will win the AI race in the West, China on Earth and SpaceX in space”
“Simulation of how the SpaceX Interplanetary Spaceship and Rocket design would work. Will be… https://t.co/yWYDxtAKQP https://www.instagram.com/p/BZdZdSZAtQf/”
“@BLKMDL3 @TeslaGong @wintonARK Yes, with the SpaceX rocket thruster option package. It will be safe, but very intense. Probably not wise for those with a medical condition – same as a hardcore roller coaster.”
“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX Hadn’t showered in several days. We are going hardcore with Starbase Surge.”
“@Teslarati @13ericralph31 @SpacePadreIsle Booster static fire on orbital launch mount hopefully next week”
“@WholeMarsBlog They have no idea how hard FSD is. Only path to success imo is hardcore real-world AI software with dedicated NN inference acceleration ASICs in car, multibillion dollar NN training supercluster and 10+ billion miles of vehicle data. Good luck.”
“Flying with larger & significantly upgraded hypersonic grid fins. Single piece cast & cut titanium. Can take reentry heat with no shielding. https://t.co/SmyCCQRt2F https://x.com/spacex/status/878732650277617664”
“Sped up version of today's rocket landing on the Droneship Just Read the Instructions (guess it… https://t.co/0wFgXMgeqZ https://www.instagram.com/p/BVxysOlA04j/”
“@AustinTeslaClub @RoschetzkyP @Tesla @TeslaNY @TeslaOwnersEBay @TeslaForThe_Win @jchybow @1stMarsColonist @EvaFoxU @heydave7 @gailalfa1 Also lasts much longer than normal roofs & is able to withstand hail & other medium-sized impacts”
“@WholeMarsBlog I tested the version 12 alpha build today. It is mind-blowing.”
“RT @SpaceX: Docking confirmed! https://t.co/zSdY3w0pOS”
“@TonyadeVitti @spideycyp_155 @WholeMarsBlog Pretty much”
“@JohnnaCrider1 @stats_feed In the coming years, Boring Co will attempt to build a working Hyperloop. From a known physics standpoint, this is the fastest possible way of getting from one city center to another for distances less than ~2000 miles. Starship is faster for longer journeys.”
“@NASA @SpaceX @Space_Station @Commercial_Crew Dragon 2 was designed to land using thrusters, with parachutes as backup. Switched to chutes as primary, due to difficulty of proving safety, but Dragon can still do it. https://t.co/Mr7VFIQwWf https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=07Pm8ZY0XJI”
“@pbeisel I am a huge admirer of Nvidia and Jensen btw. That market cap is well-deserved. SpaceX AI and Tesla expect to continue ordering Nvidia chips at scale.”
“@WholeMarsBlog @karpathy Got to build those YouTube subscriptions!”
“@iliketeslas @jurgen_nauditt Exactly! To be extremely clear, no matter how much I disagree with the Ukraine policy, Starlink will never turn off its terminals. I am simply stating that, without Starlink, the Ukrainian lines would collapse, as the Russians can jam all other communications! We would never…”
“@SpaceXMR Tries to launch some rockets – accidentally summons dark lord”
“@truth_tesla @MadeInTheUSANJ Yeah, the public has no idea how much Tesla and SpaceX have been attacked/undermined, because we aren’t unionized (yet offer highest pay in industry!) and this administration would rather a company be dead than not unionized”
“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX For sure”
“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX Starship payload is 250 to 300 tons to orbit in expendable mode. Improved thrust & Isp from Raptor will enable ~6000 ton liftoff mass.”
“@wapodavenport 16 flights is extremely unlikely. Starship payload to orbit is ~150 tons , so max of 8 to fill 1200 ton tanks of lunar Starship. Without flaps & heat shield, Starship is much lighter. Lunar landing legs don’t add much (1/6 gravity). May only need 1/2 full, ie 4 tanker flights.”
“@spacex360 Ascent phase, transition to horizontal & control during free fall were good. A (relatively) small CH4 leak led to fire on engine 2 & fried part of avionics, causing hard start attempting landing burn in CH4 turbopump. This is getting fixed 6 ways to Sunday.”
“@arstechnica @SciGuySpace Given so many other companies are depending on this mission, it is getting even more scrutiny than a Starlink flight”
“@Teslarati Diess is right. Hydrogen is a staggeringly dumb form of energy storage for cars. Barely worth considering it for a rocket upper stage, which is its most compelling use.”
“That’s right provided the two Crew Dragon test flights go well. Hardware will def be ready.”
“Max thrust of 2550 tons will be almost 10% higher than Falcon Heavy demo mission last year”
“@somefoundersalt Exactly. Yglesias is incredibly deceptive and lacks any journalistic integrity. There is nothing monopolistic about rockets, any more than there is about aircraft. Just a matter of making the best product.”
“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX @Caspar_Stanley @IzanRamos2002 Most importantly, we need to delete or thermally protect remaining secondary structure, so we can remove shrouds”
“@wapodavenport @WalterIsaacson @jeff_foust Interesting. Smart move by China. Expendable rockets have no future.”
“@thesheetztweetz Filing legal actions against SpaceX is *actually* his full-time job https://t.co/XifRICQ62k”
“@newscientist ... say scientists — among other insights gained — after a large vat of LSD overturned in the lab. Also discovered: humans are just sentient sponges, drywall tastes like a marshmallow and gravity is real. The last point remains heavily debated.”
“@thejefflutz No, because this is the current peak speed per beam and the beams are large, so this system is only effective where there is no existing cellular service. This service works in partnership with wireless providers, like what @SpaceX and @TMobile announced.”
“Passed pit 104 with terrible hotel lag (not Starlink). Will push higher pits on @Starlink while airborne. https://t.co/mkBN6IPAla”
