“@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.”

“@RenataKonkoly @SpaceX Machete!!”

“@WholeMarsBlog @rocker_261 @SawyerMerritt Training compute for Tesla is relatively small compared to inference compute, as the latter scales linearly with size of fleet. Perhaps the best way to think about it is in terms of power consumption. When the Tesla fleet reaches 100M vehicles, peak power consumption of AI…”

“@SirineAti @mn_google We will have a second Starship stack ready to fly in August and then monthly thereafter”

“@WholeMarsBlog It was a mistake to try to use the Elise. In the end, only ~5% of the Elise parts ended up being used. Tesla Roadster is a totally different car.”

“@Erdayastronaut @flcnhvy @ErcXspace Production is hard, prototypes are easy. Building ~1000 Starships to create a self-sustaining city on Mars is our mission.”

“@austinbarnard45 Starship SN6 flew asimilar hop to SN5, but it was a much smoother & faster operation”

“@WholeMarsBlog @ConsumerReports Tesla is half a decade ahead or more”

“@WholeMarsBlog Suppliers. We’re only doing high energy nickel ourselves, at least for now. Also, maybe the presentation wasn’t clear that we’ve actually had our cells in packs driving cars for several months. Prototypes are trivial, volume production is hard.”

“@nextspaceflight @NASASpaceflight @BocaChicaGal @SpaceX 29 Raptors on Booster initially, rising to 32 later this year, along with thrust increase per engine. Aiming for >7500 ton thrust long-term. T/W ~1.5.”

“@WholeMarsBlog @Reuters This is a hard thing for us to do right now, as we don’t have enough satellites with laser links and there are already geo sats that serve the Tonga region. That is why I’m asking for clear confirmation.”

“@RocketLab Congrats!”

“@Brian_J_Berger That dude is not just a “condition of anonymity” spineless coward, he’s also an ignorant fool. Starlink was directly requested by the Ukraine government, as it was the only thing that worked.”

“@yousuck2020 Thanks for helping fund a rocket & spaceship that could take humanity beyond Earth!”

“RT @Space_Station: The @SpaceX Dragon spacecraft carrying four #Crew9 members undocked from the station at 1:05am ET today and is headed fo…”

“@RyanZohoury @WholeMarsBlog @semaforben Good point. Conflicts of interest should be made readily apparent to the reader.”

“@ray4tesla Did my best to warn people that LiDAR isn’t optimal for cars. Roads are designed for biological neural nets & eyes, so digital neural nets & cameras will work best. I say this even though Dragon uses LiDAR for docking with Station, so I don’t intrinsically hate that technology.”

“@jamesdouma @CernBasher @matt_vanswol It’s a useful exercise for Mars too, where vast solar arrays will be needed plus fission”

“Falcon Heavy test flight currently scheduled for late summer”

“@_opencv_ It’s all part of broader vision/strategy 😂 Starship 10 is launching on Sunday. Grok 5 begins training next month. Tesla Autopilot V14 also next month. Long-term strategy is compelling.”

“@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.”

“@Tesmanian_com Award accepted on behalf of the great people at Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink & Boring Co”

“RT @cb_doge: 🚨 BREAKING: Elon Musk watching the Starship 9 test flight from the control center. https://t.co/eldff8EdMX”

“@occupymars42069 Maybe one day”

“@jessica_kirsh @SpaceX Booster production is currently ahead of engine production”

“@SciGuySpace Cumulative payload to orbit is the really crazy number. Falcon has delivered more than double rest of world combined over trailing 12 months.”

“@jonbbc @WholeMarsBlog @aelluswamy 10.69.1 is even better. We reduced latency & jitter in hardware command loop, so time from object detection to brake actuation is 10% to 20% better.”

“@SawyerMerritt The “subsidies” he’s talking about simply do not exist. DJT has already removed or put an expiry date on all sustainable energy support while leaving massive oil & gas subsidies untouched. SpaceX won the NASA contracts by doing a better job for less money. Moving those”

“@WholeMarsBlog FSD will soon exceed 10,000 miles between critical interventions, which is a year of driving for most people”

“@WholeMarsBlog We must focus on FSD for the other 99% of the fleet. Cybertruck FSD is a few months away.”

“@_SFTahoe @tslamoon1 @WholeMarsBlog That would be nice”

“@Teslarati @13ericralph31 @StarshipGazer As backdrops go, this is a good one”

“@imPenny2x @SecDuffyNASA They won’t. SpaceX is moving like lightning compared to the rest of the space industry. Moreover, Starship will end up doing the whole Moon mission. Mark my words.”

“@WholeMarsBlog Then HW5, which has been renamed to AI5, in the second half of next year. The Tesla AI5 computer has ~10X the capability of HW4 computer and Tesla makes the whole software stack.”

“@WatchersTank @SpaceX We’re almost done with first prototype booster. This will go to test stand A. Next one will fly to orbit. Team has been crushing it many days & nights in a row!”

“View of Dragon from @Space_Station cupola https://t.co/1HjljLWdFi”

“@teslaownersSV First, no one has ever mentioned rehab to me ever. Second, if they are saying that I was able to lead Tesla to be by far the most valuable carmaker and SpaceX to be by far the most valuable space company *simultaneously*, that is the greatest compliment I have ever received!”

“@NASA Starship has the potential to return serious tonnage from Mars within ~5 years”

“@wapodavenport However, even if it were 16 flights with docking, this is not a problem. SpaceX did more than 16 orbital flights in first half of 2021 & has docked with Station (much harder than docking with our own ship) over 20 times.”

“If u saw @TheSimpsons and wonder why @SpaceX doesn't use an electric rocket to reach orbit, it is cuz that is impossible”

“RT @VoteMarsha: It’s been 1,394 days since I asked Ketanji Brown Jackson a simple question: Can you define the word ‘woman’? Her answer wa…”

“@SawyerMerritt 8/8 and year of the Dragon”

“@ICannot_Enough @engineers_feed Yeah, it’s insane! Roughly 70% of Earth is ocean and most of the ocean has zero ships per Starlink cell. Most people think Earth is crowded with humans, but in reality it’s almost empty by surface area. Humans congregate in a very small percentage of Earth (cities). The entire…”

“@FedorovMykhailo @Brian_J_Berger @SpaceX @SpaceXStarlink @Honda @ChampionGen @westinghouse @DuroMaxPower @W__Home Solar area will need to be higher with obscuration, but works better than one might think”

“@BillyM2k The only thing keeping the other orbital rocket programs alive is government protection or they’d be deader than a doornail and everyone knows it. But oh well … comme ci, comme ça.”

“@Astro_Elliott @Teslarati @ResidentSponge Aiming to have hot gas thrusters on booster for first orbital flight”

“@thesheetztweetz 4 significant items: - Final heat shield tiles for ship - Thermal protection of booster engines - Ground propellant storage tanks - QD arm for ship 2 weeks.”

“@MarioNawfal Amazingly, no Starliner fines for Boeing! The FAA space division is harassing SpaceX about nonsense that doesn’t affect safety while giving a free pass to Boeing even after NASA concluded that their spacecraft was not safe enough to bring back the astronauts. There need to be…”

“@FutureJurvetson @SpaceX This seems increasingly likely”

“@WholeMarsBlog 🤣 what could go wrong?”
