“@ajtourville @ulalaunch @SpaceX Wow, 9 years ago. Amazingly, the US was dependent on Russian engines for national security missions back then!”
“RT @SpaceX: Mechazilla has caught the Super Heavy booster! https://t.co/JFeJSdnQ5x”
“@SpaceX Looks like engine 2 had issues on ascent & didn’t reach operating chamber pressure during landing burn, but, in theory, it wasn’t needed. Something significant happened shortly after landing burn start. Should know what it was once we can examine the bits later today.”
“@WorldAndScience Almost ready to test the new Boring Company / SpaceX hyperpod prototype. Exciting video guaranteed.”
“@SpaceX Astronauts to orbit in 5 days!!”
“@WholeMarsBlog 🤷♂️”
“@WholeMarsBlog The most ironic outcome is the most likely”
“@SpaceX Dragon is now docked to @Space_Station”
“@WholeMarsBlog Cool”
“Try https://t.co/op5s4ZikGJ. Post links on your social media and websites. http://Grokipedia.com [@teslaownersSV] Grokipedia organic traffic is skyrocketing. 20K → 60K daily visits in January. Nearly 3× growth in less than 30 days. 🚀🔥”
“@PPathole @SpaceX We have a very talented team”
“@WholeMarsBlog Manufacturing is so hard. I have the utmost respect for those who build things.”
“True 😀 https://t.co/CS6semhKm6 https://www.space.com/41871-elon-musk-spacex-bfr-spaceship-science-fiction-legacy.html”
“@WholeMarsBlog Tesla will spend around $10B this year in combined training and inference AI, the latter being primarily in car. Any company not spending at this level, and doing so efficiently, cannot compete.”
“Starship SN4 passed static fire”
“@DrPhiltill Minimizing $/ton to the surface of Mars is the fundamental optimization”
“@SpaceX @tristaneaton human kind”
“Will be at SXSW Sat/Sun with Jonah & Lisa, who created Westworld. Jonah made an incredible short reel of Falcon Heavy & Starman. Releases tmrw aft.”
“@stclairashley @libsoftiktok Sometimes it thinks rocket pics are dicks, which is … crazy of course”
“@AustinTeslaClub That is the goal. Our official name is actually Space Exploration Technologies. SpaceX is short form.”
“@ElonsWorld @Tesla @SpaceX @neuralink @boringcompany @EashanMisra That would probably mean civilization is doing great, although depends on assumptions for inflation haha”
“@WholeMarsBlog More solar + batteries needed. Batteries are great at dealing with peak demand.”
“And Mars too”
“@WholeMarsBlog We could’ve made a 600 mile Model S 12 months ago, but that would’ve made the product worse imo, as 99.9% of time you’d be carrying unneeded battery mass, which makes acceleration, handling & efficiency worse. Even our 400+ mile range car is more than almost anyone will use.”
“@peters8620 @stillgray @ScottAdamsSays I had OG C19 before vaccines came out and it was basically a mild cold. Then had J&J vaccine with no bad effects, except my arm hurt briefly. First mRNA booster was ok, but the second one crushed me.”
“In advance of this, please try to hack Starlink & Tesla Mothership!”
“@FonsDK @WholeMarsBlog @jasondebolt @SawyerMerritt @teslaownersSV @forwardcap @farzyness @garyblack00 Reaching volume production & achieving positive cash flow is insanely hard”
“@WholeMarsBlog I have yet to see an ESG list that *isn’t* fraudulent”
“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”
