“🔥🤣 [@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. )”

“True [@HCGNYC] @WR4NYGov The word 'funding' in and of itself is disingenuous. SpaceX bids for service contracts. They typically have offered the most compelling cost and delivery and yet our feckless Gov still awards contracts to SpaceX competitors. Tesla is the most American made autos, will soon also…)”

“@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.”

“@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.”

“@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.

“@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.”

“@teslaownersSV The Iron Man statue was given to SpaceX because part of Iron Man 2 was filmed in the rocket factory”
“@PPathole Most people have no idea Starship exists or how large this beast is! Body diameter (9m or 30 ft) is bigger than a 747 or A380. Starship thrust & mass are more than double Saturn V moon rocket. Making life multiplanetary means massive rockets. Got to be done.”

“SpaceX is accelerating rapidly. When Starship is launching several times a day in a few years, SpaceX will be ~99% of all Earth payload mass to orbit, even if the others triple their current launch rate.

“True [@ApoStructura] There is this recurring narrative that SpaceX needs government funding to survive. Not only does SpaceX not rely on government contracts for the majority of it’s revenue, it’s actually saved the US government Billions of dollars by being far cheaper than the competition.”
“Was just up in the booster propulsion section. Damage appears to be minor, but we need to inspect all the engines. Best to do this in the high bay.”
“@SciGuySpace Provided there is no serious launch anomaly, SpaceX will deliver 80% of Earth’s payload to orbit this year. Not counting Starship.”

“@PPathole @WholeMarsBlog The San Francisco office of the SEC were shameless puppets of Wall St shortseller sharks, while doing nothing to protect actual shareholders. That is why I lost all respect for them.”
