“@WholeMarsBlog Car just drove me around Austin all day with no interventions required, despite ACL festival crowds! In the fairly near future, people will wonder why there was ever skepticism about self-driving.”

“@StonksReddit @rschmied @spideycyp_155 @SawyerMerritt @SpaceX Starlink is the primary communications system of the Ukrainian army on the war front. If anyone else wants this job, please be my guest …”

“@WholeMarsBlog Very much a beta calculation. It will evolve over time to more accurately predict crash probability.”

“@WholeMarsBlog This is written by Ford/UAW lobbyists, as they make their electric car in Mexico. Not obvious how this serves American taxpayers. https://t.co/FUUXARHlby https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-06-03/ford-production-of-electric-mustang-exceeds-gas-powered-pony-car”

“@PeterDiamandis @wholemars It will drop to a low number, but never zero. The cost will be measured in Joules.”

“@GerberKawasaki We had to shift some Starlink satellite orbits to reduce probability of collision. Not great, but not terrible either. Station & Dragon have micrometeorite shields (ultra high velocity impact absorption), but EVA suits do not, hence higher risk for spacewalk.”

“@EdKrassen Civilization needs to retain its current technology level until Mars is self-sufficient, which could be achieved within ~20 years. If we become multiplanetary and then multistellar our civilization will last millions of years. If not, maybe just a few hundred years.”

“@SpaceX Pretty much everything I predicted in that talk has happened or is in process of happening”

“@WholeMarsBlog A lot of people thought Tesla stock would collapse as the tax credits came to an end this month. Guess not.”

“@WholeMarsBlog @karpathy The feeling is mutual. But I can’t emphasize enough that we work with an amazing team. The credit is theirs.”

“@KonstantinKisin There is more to this than meets the eye. If the concern is actually sexual predation in the entertainment industry, that is a very long list. Why @rustyrockets and why now?”

“Nuking Mars one T-shirt at a time https://t.co/Kiah2HbxFi https://shop.spacex.com/featured-products/nuke-mars-t-shirt.html”

“@RenataKonkoly @Erdayastronaut And booster used to be 70m, but this required an awkward half barrel width of steel, so now it’s 69m”

“@TeslaGong @torybruno At least a few years before Starlink revenue is reasonably predictable. Going public sooner than that would be very painful. Will do my best to give long-term Tesla shareholders preference.”

“RT @nvidia: From rockets to AI. Nine years after the original NVIDIA DGX-1 handoff, Jensen Huang delivered a brand-new DGX Spark to @ElonM…”

“@Erdayastronaut @Teslaconomics @SpaceX We could build a lot more, but the next version of Raptor is really the one to scale up production. We begin testing it in McGregor within a week or so. Regenerative cooling and secondary flow paths have been made integral to the whole engine, thus no heat shield is required.…”

“@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…”

“@Emmett__Osborne @WholeMarsBlog I was prepared to accept either outcome”

“@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.”

“@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.”

“@thesheetztweetz Work needed between flights is less & less, as shown by shortening time between reflights. Required work between flights for Starship & Super Heavy is zero.”

“@sana_J2 @SpaceX And to be clear, I have never asked @realDonaldTrump for any favors, nor has he offered me any”

“@WholeMarsBlog That must have been a bitter pill to swallow 😂”

“@roscosmos @Rogozin @JimBridenstine Thank you on behalf of SpaceX! We have always admired your rocket/spacecraft technology.”

“@TeslaBoomerMama Scientific American has become a social activist magazine and destroyed its credibility. My companies have succeeded *despite* the government support playing field being tilted heavily to competitors. Boeing received twice as much as SpaceX for astronaut transport, yet has not…”

“@WholeMarsBlog I think we may have figured out some aspects of AGI. The car has a mind. Not an enormous mind, but a mind nonetheless.”

“@WholeMarsBlog Vision became so good that radar actually reduced SNR, so radar was turned off. Humans drive with eyes & biological neural nets, so makes sense that cameras & silicon neural nets are only way to achieve generalized solution to self-driving.”

“@WholeMarsBlog To be fair, investors are giving us significant credit for achieving self-driving, given that Tesla’s valuation/production is very high compared to other automakers”

“@BrennanChant @SpaceX Yeah. Active fairing half recovered though.”

“@ID_AA_Carmack Best case 2028, but probably 2030. If SpaceX is not smothered by regulations, then the Starship launch rate will far exceed the Falcon launch rate, as Starship fully reusable, while Falcon is only mostly reusable. Starship should be doing >1000 Earth orbit flights per year by…”

“@breezefps Starlink inter-satellite laser links should be operational by end of year. This will dramatically reduce global latency. Light travels ~40% faster in vacuum/air than in fiber optic cables & satellite path length is shorter (cables follow coastlines).”

“@WholeMarsBlog There’ll be lots of green space around factory, but building itself is continuous. The “open” areas inside are covered. They’re internal semi truck roads inside a giant monolithic building.”

“@flcnhvy @SpaceX Small note: latch on post near base is gone & powered Ethernet wire is less obtrusive in production version”

“@AstroBehnken @SpaceX @NASA @Space_Station Manufactured only 5 mins from LAX!”

“@AlexFinnX It is such an honor to work with the incredible SpaceX team”

“@nextspaceflight Payload reduction due to reusability of booster & fairing is <40% for F9 & recovery & refurb is <10%, so you’re roughly even with 2 flights, definitely ahead with 3”

“Long exposure of the Falcon 9 predawn launch from Cape Canaveral http://t.co/jQHxIEhuJb”

“@cb_doge @pfigueiredobr2 Starlink will continue to support the Brazilian military even though our bank accounts in Brazil have been illegally frozen by Judge De Voldemort”

“Max recovered booster velocity was Mach 7.9 (BulgarianSat). Energy is velocity squared, so this is a bigger difference than it appears”

“@NASAEarthMars That is quite an interesting story. We sent what appeared to be identical emails to all, but each was actually coded with either one or two spaces between sentences, forming a binary signature that identified the leaker.”

“@WholeMarsBlog The Tesla AI predictions are swiftly becoming superhuman – its guesses for what it can’t see well feel like ESP. It has a vastly larger training set than any human & thinks only about driving.”

“Deeply honored and appreciative of the trust that @NASA has placed in @SpaceX for the future of human spaceflight”

“RT @SpaceX: Installing the redesigned fuel transfer tube into the first next generation Super Heavy booster. Roughly the same size as the…”

“@DolllarPo Service turns on next month, which is same time required to deliver a user terminal, so order now at https://t.co/Q1VvqV58aK http://Starlink.com”

“@Neopork85 @Caspar_Stanley @ErcXspace @MarcusHouseGame @FelixSchlang @C_Bass3d @nickhenning3d @SpaceX Tiles will be on hot side of flaps too. A very tough problem is sealing the moving flap to body joint without melting or shredding the seal.”

“RT @cb_doge: Incredible view of Earth from Starship. https://t.co/2wzTVA12Wt”

“@DimaZeniuk What’s really crazy about this is that almost no investors wanted to sell shares even at a $350B valuation! SpaceX reduced the amount of shares it bought back from employees in order to allow some new investors in.”

“@SpaceX Launch aborted on low thrust alarm. Rising oxygen temps due to hold for boat and helium bubble triggered alarm.”

“@rookisaacman Thanks Jared. We will investigate the issue and look for any other potential near-misses. We are tracking to do more Falcon flights this year than Shuttle did in 30 years, the vast majority of which are uncrewed. A major advantage of this super high flight rate is that we can…”
