“This is the first time humans have been in orbit around the poles of Earth! [@SpaceX] First views of Earth's polar regions from Dragon”
“Many remote schools and hospitals depend on SpaceX’s Starlink! SpaceX will provide Internet service to users in Brazil for free until this matter is resolved, as we cannot receive payment, but don’t want to cut anyone off.”
“Dragon docks with @Space_Station. Strange to think that they’re both traveling at ~25 times speed of sound!”
“Although Boeing got $4.2 billion to develop an astronaut capsule and SpaceX only got $2.6 billion, SpaceX finished 4 years sooner. Note, the crew capsule design of Dragon 2 has almost nothing in common with Dragon 1. Too many non-technical managers at Boeing.”
“Oh well [@MarioNawfal] 🚨🇨🇦ONTARIO CANCELS $100M STARLINK DEAL AS TRUMP’S 25% TARIFFS LOOM Premier Doug Ford announced Ontario is scrapping its $100 million contract with Starlink ahead of Trump’s incoming tariffs on US goods. Ford’s government is also banning other American companies from provincial… )”
“Wow, they really don’t get it. Mars is critical to the long-term survival of consciousness. Also, I’m not going to ask any venture capitalists for money. I realize that it makes no sense as an investment. That’s why I’m gathering resources.”
“Cryogenic propellant load of Starship is underway, liftoff in T minus 1 hour”
“Just returned from Cave 3. Mini-sub is ready if needed. It is made of rocket parts & named Wild Boar after kids’ soccer team. Leaving here in case it may be useful in the future. Thailand is so beautiful. https://t.co/EHNh8ydaTT”
“I do drift off into thinking about Mars at times [@cb_doge] "But then I started thinking about Mars"”

“Starlink now constitutes roughly 2/3 of all active Earth satellites”
“34th flight of this booster https://t.co/sM4lQFTGA6”
“Starlink is particularly great for remote locations. It works whether you’re at the top of a mountain in the Arctic or in a crater in Madagascar!”
“If you look closely, you can see a human walking around the base of the rocket. Each Raptor rocket engine produces twice as much thrust as all 4 engines on a 747. There are 33 Raptor engines powering the Starship rocket booster. https://t.co/VHLGlJWtoJ”
“Just leaving the engine bay of Starship https://t.co/JTnFfNaymh”
“Crazy [@amuse] OH CANADA: British Columbia Premier David Eby said he was removing Tesla from its EV rebate program because of Elon Musk in violation of the Canadian Human Rights Act. Perhaps Elon should ban Canada from SpaceX and Starlink in retaliation.”
“SpaceX created the first fully reusable rocket stage and, much more importantly, made the reuse economically viable. Making life multiplanetary is fundamentally a cost per ton to Mars problem. It currently costs about a billion dollars per ton of useful payload to the surface…”
“Thousands of upgrades to Starship & launchpad/Mechazilla”
“New water deluge system to protect against the immense heat & force of Starship launch https://t.co/JMnBIH8UTM”
“Nice of him to say [@ElonClipsX] JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon: Elon is our Einstein. It's rational he checks our government efficiency. “You’ve got to look at Elon, at SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink – the guy is our Einstein. I'd like to be helpful to him and his companies as much as we can. I think it is completely… )”
“A number of false news reports claim that SpaceX is selling Starlink terminals to Russia. This is categorically false. To the best of our knowledge, no Starlinks have been sold directly or indirectly to Russia.”
“Congrats @SpaceX Falcon team on 50 successful missions already this year! Highest flight rate of any rocket ever.”
“Tomorrow, I will tell the story of how SpaceX was forced by the government to kidnap seals, put earphones on them and play sonic boom sounds to see if they seemed upset”
“Much appreciated, Walter. The onus is meaningfully different if I refused to act upon a request from Ukraine vs. made a deliberate change to Starlink to thwart Ukraine. At no point did I or anyone at SpaceX promise coverage over Crimea. Moreover, our terms of service clearly…”
“Starlink provides Internet connectivity in the air that is often better than being on the ground!”
“SpaceX HQ will now officially be in the city of Starbase, Texas!”
“Early days of SpaceX https://t.co/y6TsAqYcvt”
“@StationCDRKelly You’re smart enough not to swallow media & other propaganda bs. Starlink is the communication backbone of Ukraine, especially at the front lines, where almost all other Internet connectivity has been destroyed. But we will not enable escalation of conflict that may lead to WW3.”
“South Africa has now passed 142 laws forcing discrimination against anyone who is not black! Even though I was born in South Africa, the government will not grant @Starlink a license to operate simply because I am not black. This is a shameful disgrace to the legacy of the [@ConCaracal] FULL DOCUMENTARY: Is Donald Trump right about South Africa? Topics: 142+ Race laws, the Expropriation Act, "Kill the Boer", farm murders, and more. Support @AfriForum in our fight to get the truth about the South African government out: https://sluit-aan.afriforum.co.za/en?campaign=RoepToepCMO&leadSource=600060509”

“The preservation of life and consciousness by being on multiple planets and the expansion of consciousness to the stars are the goals of @SpaceX”
“That’s how easy it is to turn on Starlink! Works anywhere 5 minutes after you take it out of the box.”
“8 minutes to liftoff of Starship! https://t.co/Ngu7VnFsh9 https://x.com/i/broadcasts/1RDGlydZAeOJL”
“This is a real video of a past @SpaceX Starship water landing. Trying again tomorrow. We need to perfect ship reentry at extreme temperatures before attempting to catch the ship with the tower arms, like the booster. https://t.co/tss9Lb4fWr”
“Yes [@_The_Prophet__] ⚡️Starship is the most important machine on Earth because it is the only serious bridge between a trapped species and a spacefaring one. That is the real truth. Everything else is downstream of lift cost. Moon bases, Mars cities, orbital industry, space solar, off world mining,”
“Sounds very fishy [@MarioNawfal] 🚨EX-USAID CHIEF SAMANTHA POWER’S NET WORTH SKYROCKETS—FROM $6.7M TO $30M ON A $180K SALARY Samantha Power, Biden’s ex-USAID chief, saw her wealth explode while earning just $180K per year. Where did the extra $23.3M come from? And all of this in just 3 years! USAID oversees… )”
“For those unaware, SpaceX has already shifted focus to building a self-growing city on the Moon, as we can potentially achieve that in less than 10 years, whereas Mars would take 20+ years. The mission of SpaceX remains the same: extend consciousness and life as we know it to… https://t.co/HSuKIz1eVd https://x.com/i/web/status/2020640004628742577”
“Since your handle is “Whole Mars”, perhaps this lengthy reply is apropos: Getting the cost per ton to the surface of Mars low enough that humanity has the resources to make life multiplanetary requires a roughly 1000X improvement in rocket & spacecraft technology. Recent US…”
“13 years ago [@KanekoaTheGreat] Elon Musk talks to Jon Stewart about Paypal, Tesla, and SpaceX in 2012. "When I was in college, there were three areas I thought would most affect the future of humanity: the internet, sustainable energy, & space exploration, particularly making life multiplanetary." @elonmusk”
“The Biden administration launched a massive multi-year lawsuit against SpaceX for not hiring asylum seekers, despite the fact that SpaceX is legally BARRED from hiring non-permanent residents under ITAR, because rockets are an advanced weapons technology. In other words, it was… [@MarioNawfal] 🚨🇺🇸COMMON SENSE PREVAILS AS DOJ DROP LAWFARE CASE AGAINST SPACEX In a major turnaround, the Department of Justice announced it would dismiss its lawsuit accusing SpaceX of discriminating against immigrants when hiring. Filed under Biden, the DOJ accused SpaceX of wrongly… )”
“Mass drivers on the Moon will be awesome 😎 [@cb_doge] ELON MUSK: SpaceX will build a mass driver on the moon. "If you want to go beyond a mere terawatt per year, you have to go to the moon. So by having factories on the moon, building AI satellites and having a mass driver, which is the kind of thing you really need to learn about”
“Starship made it to the scheduled ship engine cutoff, so big improvement over last flight! Also, no significant loss of heat shield tiles during ascent. Leaks caused loss of main tank pressure during the coast and re-entry phase. Lot of good data to review. Launch cadence for”
“Each rocket engine produces twice as much thrust as all 4 engines on a Boeing 747 and there are 33 of them”
