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.
“Aiming for 10 Falcon flights in a month by end of this year, then 12 per month next year”
“@SpaceX @Space_Station It’s called the Space “Station”, but it’s actually moving around Earth at ~25 times the speed of sound or ~10 times faster than a rifle bullet”
“@MarioNawfal Starlink will still work”
“@JimPethokoukis Good point. SpaceX & Tesla would probably have died, since both narrowly escaped bankruptcy in 2008.”
“RT @MarshaBlackburn: The Department of Education does not run a single school, yet the federal government wastes $68 billion a year and emp…”
“@WholeMarsBlog Ramping production (as always) will be the challenge, not demand”
“@SawyerMerritt An obviously disingenuous response. Not cool of them to try (for the third time) to impede SpaceX’s progress by lawfare.”
“@NASASpaceflight Unlike its aircraft division, which is fine, the FAA space division has a fundamentally broken regulatory structure. Their rules are meant for a handful of expendable launches per year from a few government facilities. Under those rules, humanity will never get to Mars.”
“Mission looks good. Started deploying the 10 Iridium satellites. Rocket is stable on the droneship.”
“@WholeMarsBlog Exactly”
“Good summary of rocket landing history. There were two successful water landings much earlier, but they didn't survive long. https://t.co/N6kxxQeFby https://x.com/verge/status/879410754511831040”
“@birdabo A friend of mine suggested that we do a light show with the Starlink satellites one of these days. Would look cool.”
“@PPathole @SpaceX That’s our initial interstage design that we scrapped”
“@thesheetztweetz Starlink does work on vehicles in motion, including planes, but not yet reliably”
“Long exposure of rocket ascent, reentry from space and landing burn. (Credit @johnkrausphotos) https://t.co/X24k3han8M https://www.instagram.com/p/BdrZtc5AhB3/”
“Worth noting that Boeing/Lockheed ("Other US" on chart) get a billion dollar annual subsidy even if they launch nothing. SpaceX does not. https://t.co/Mi27ZnYLRJ https://x.com/concofahmet/status/885617156473450496”
“@LadoBitnar I am highly confident that we can send several uncrewed Starships to Mars in 2 years. If those ships don’t increment the crater count on Mars, then crewed ships can be sent in 4 years.”
“@SciGuySpace @raikohtech I am confident that Starship will land humans on Mars. That path is clear. But what really matters is securing the future of consciousness, not just getting a small number of people to Mars. That probably requires getting over 100,000 people and 1M tons of cargo to Mars.”
“@SpaceX Another 49 Starlinks reach orbit”
“While I have great fondness for @NASA, they will constitute less than 5% of our revenue next year. Commercial Starlink is by far our largest contributor to revenue. Some people have claimed that SpaceX gets “subsidized” by NASA. This is absolutely false. The SpaceX team won… https://t.co/5ebFse5Eg4 https://x.com/i/web/status/1997401910635278368”
“Looking back at the sun from upper stage & Falcon 9 🚀 landed on drone ship Of Course I Still Love You https://t.co/sg3FXIDQJL”
“Mars V2 plan coming soon, which I think addresses the most fundamental flaw in V1: how to pay for development & operation of giant rockets https://t.co/yaITdVdpEc https://x.com/sciam/status/875756138121310208”
“@WholeMarsBlog Not intentional! We just wanted to show that you could theoretically convert the entire US vehicle fleet to electric using only the lithium in Nevada, a single state. Tesla will do lithium mining only as needed. We also found a way to extract lithium using NaCl (table salt).”
“@NuovaRealta @cleantechnica Will call when we reach Mars”
“Initially making one 200 metric ton thrust engine common across ship & booster to reach the moon as fast as possible. Next versions will split to vacuum-optimized (380+ sec Isp) & sea-level thrust optimized (~250 ton).”
“@WholeMarsBlog Absolutely”
“@SpacePadreIsle Starship is coming together!”
“@WholeMarsBlog Liar Lorenz”
“@SpaceX A high production rate solves many ills”
“@WholeMarsBlog Ask and you shall receive https://t.co/nhzH9rXzBB”
“Astronaut spacesuit next to Crew Dragon https://t.co/Csmgx8Nn0t https://www.instagram.com/p/BYyvO2WA3Ra/”
“@WholeMarsBlog California has pushed hydrogen for a long time. Makes no sense.”
“This is significantly more than any country has launched with their entire rocket fleet in a year. Second is peak Soviet Union at ~500 tons. For a present day comparison, the rest of the world has delivered ~250 tons to orbit so far this year, mostly by China.”
“@Teslarati @ResidentSponge 💫 Starlink 💫”
“@WholeMarsBlog Sucks that I had to sell so much Tesla stock to do so (sigh)”
“@BillyM2k @WholeMarsBlog Oh man that would be an epic troll!!”
“@JonErlichman 5 years ago. We need to accelerate progress towards fully reusable rockets. Cost per ton to orbit needs to improve by >1000% from where Falcon is today for there to be a self-sustaining city on Mars.”
“@ErcXspace @SpaceX @NASASpaceflight @Erdayastronaut Transparent aluminum (ALON) might be cool”
“@cb_doge @Twitter @mayemusk @Tesla @SpaceX 🔥🔥”
“@PPathole @SpaceX SpaceX team is doing great work! One day, the true measure of success will be that Starship flights are commonplace.”
“The 20th & final Dragon 1 mission is complete”
“@WholeMarsBlog 10.69.3 will actually be a major upgrade. We’re keeping .69 just because haha.”
“@WholeMarsBlog 11 lifetimes ago”
“@gvanrossum Flight code for the rockets and Starlink satellites is written in C and C++. Python is used where runtime performance is less important than rapid iteration and ease of use.”
“@WholeMarsBlog Ships to Tesla employees tomorrow, then progressively wider as confidence grows. We test as much as possible in simulation and with QA drivers, but reality is vastly more complex.”
“@SpaceX Hopefully flying tomorrow”
“@WholeMarsBlog All US cars that are capable of FSD will be enabled for a one month trial this week”
“Mars City Opposite of Earth. Dawn and dusk sky are blue on Mars and day sky is red. https://t.co/XHcZIdgqnb https://www.instagram.com/p/BZm_FXPg6YZ/”
“@SpaceX We will need to make a lot of improvements to have a chance of completing 48 launches next year!”
