“Stage 1 to stage 2 mass ratio is too high on Falcon 9, necessitating a long entry burn. This is fixed on Starship.”
“@keego73 It’s designed for 100 people on a Mars journey”
“Starlink now connects over 5M people in 125 countries! [@Starlink] Starlink is connecting more than 5M people with high-speed internet across 125 countries, territories and many other markets. Thank you to all of our customers around the world!🛰️🌎❤️→ http://starlink.com/stories)”
“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,”
“@austinbarnard45 Mars is looking real”
“@SpaceX Falcon over the moon”
“Fun mission [@MarioNawfal] 🚨SPACE BREAKTHROUGH: SPACEX LAUNCHES FIRST ASTEROID MINING MISSION A SpaceX rocket has launched Odin, a spacecraft built by startup AstroForge, on a mission to study asteroid 2022 OB5, which is 1 million miles from Earth. The asteroid is believed to contain platinum and other… )”
“This rocket was meant to test very high retrothrust landing in water so it didn’t hurt the droneship, but amazingly it has survived. We will try to tow it back to shore. https://t.co/hipmgdnq16”
“Yup [@cb_doge] "Starlink internet is what's being used to pay for humanity getting to Mars. So I'd like to thank everyone out there who bought Starlink, because you're helping secure the future of civilization and helping make life multiplanetary." 一 Elon Musk”
“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!”
“Starlink is designed for low to medium population density, which means we can hit max users in some areas fast. Please sign up early to ensure a spot. As more satellites roll out, SpaceX will be able to serve more. https://t.co/Q1VvqVmJ2i http://Starlink.com”
“@DavidSacks SpaceX’s out of pocket cost to enable & support Starlink in Ukraine is ~$80M so far. Our support for Russia is $0. Obviously, we are pro Ukraine. Trying to retake Crimea will cause massive death, probably fail & risk nuclear war. This would be terrible for Ukraine & Earth.”
“@TeslaOwnersEBay If remaining tests go well, we will attempt a Starship launch next month”
“SpaceXAI will offer a Multipass [@elonmusk] @lyn_beatz”
“Grok Imagine prompt: The bare necessities with a jovial grizzly bear in a sleek, silver spacesuit on Mars, rockets gleaming in the background under a crimson sunset glow. https://t.co/ECqOMFX1za”
“Cool! Starlink will keep improving as we launch more satellites. [@SawyerMerritt] Review of @Starlink on United Airlines: "It is an absolute game changer. I had download speeds in excess of 250 Mbps, and upload speeds of nearly 30 Mbps. With Starlink, I can do anything in the air that I could do on the ground."”
“Falcon Rising https://t.co/XnXlTL8lhI”
“RT @joma_gc: So let me get this straight. Jasmine Crockett gets elected November 2022, and according to her financial disclosure report had…”
“Moonbase Alpha! https://t.co/SoTlsZcj9w [@johnkrausphotos] This is a real photo, not AI, of the Moon rising behind Starship. Let’s go to the Moon again. Let’s go and stay. Let’s go build Moon Base Alpha! Starship will do so 🚀”
“Congratulations to the @Starlink team for achieving activation in 155+ countries! [@Starlink] This year, we activated Starlink in 35+ new markets, and are now covering 155+ countries and a global area home to 3.2 billion people, including those who live in some of the most remote places on Earth”
“Please send your resume to BuildStarship@spacex.com if you’re coming to the Starship career day in Boca Chica tomorrow”
“Starlink is about to exceed 80% of all active satellites, with rest of world, including rest of US, <20% https://t.co/EpJXx6vceY https://x.com/i/grok/share/Eq5FqDDJrLAblcQRQ7991hRJY”
“🔥🤣 [@grok] @ThesilenceJames @EightBitElon @elonmusk @LimitingThe Chimps excel at tree-climbing through natural instincts, but NASA's job demands expertise in rocket speeds (delta-v) and space orbits, not swinging from vines. AI's "transfer learning" works great for adapting skills, yet primate agility won't fix rocket failures or get us to”
“Lot to learn on this flight [@PettitFrontier] SpaceX’s mission profile for Starship Flight 8. It will be eventful. Booster catch, Starlink deployment, in-space engine relight, entry & flip. I called @astro_Pettit and we’re optimistic the ISS will have brief in-flight visibility. And I will be at Starbase. Let’s do this. )”

“Congrats to SpaceX team on record number of launches!”
“@RonPaul You should get @Starlink”
“That’s what’s happened [@micsolana] I imagine this is true in every major metro in the country. when you outlaw development, and then spend a half century paying poor people to live in otherwise expensive cities, any remaining housing skyrockets in value. now your city is for millionaires and the homeless only.”
“Made with @Grok Imagine [@dvorahfr] Building Mars will require colossal works. Parts will be built on Earth and assembled on Mars. Grok Imagine, of course”
“About a month away from the first orbital test flight of crew Dragon”

“@EzerRatchaga Starship is super insane, but such a system is the only way for us to become a multiplanet civilization”
“@WholeMarsBlog So many well off critics don’t understand that demand at scale is limited by affordability. There is plenty of demand for our products, but if the price is more money than people have, that demand is irrelevant.”
“The stars in Starship’s mirrored hull reflected”
“It’s a big deal [@cb_doge] ELON MUSK: "The major breakthrough that SpaceX is hoping to achieve this year is full reusability. No one has ever achieved full reusability of a rocket, which is very important for the cost of access to space. We've achieved partial re usability with Falcon 9. We've now landed… https://x.com/i/web/status/2014386794419372134”

“@WholeMarsBlog Earth is almost entirely solar-powered already. Without the sun, we’d just be a dark ice ball with some chemotrophic bacteria.”
“@shlomo_karhi We are not so naive. Per my post, no Starlink terminal has attempted to connect from Gaza. If one does, we will take extraordinary measures to confirm that it is used *only* for purely humanitarian reasons. Moreover, we will do a security check with both the US and Israeli…”
“@DefiantLs If you add up all the government funding Tesla and SpaceX have ever received, it is only about 1% of the combined value of the companies. In contrast, if you do that with US and European major aerospace companies, the government money they have received *exceeds* 100% of their… https://t.co/P57hWzKKLL https://x.com/i/web/status/2021663314716373227”
“@paulg The mass & difficulty required to build a space habitat like that is extreme. Far better to have a base on the moon & city on Mars.”
“@engineers_feed Due to lower gravity, you can travel from surface of Mars to surface of Earth fairly easily with a single stage rocket. Earth to Mars is vastly harder.”
“@niccruzpatane Already have thousands of times over. My “net worth” is almost entirely due to my ownership stakes in Tesla and SpaceX. I have <0.1% that is cash.

“Btw, SpaceX is no longer planning to upgrade Falcon 9 second stage for reusability. Accelerating BFR instead. New design is very exciting! Delightfully counter-intuitive.”
“Great work by SpaceX Dragon team & Airborne! To be clear, we’ve only done 1 multi-parachute test of Mk3 design, so 9 more left to reach 10 successful tests in a row.”
