“@MicahMaidenberg Countries & companies aim too low. Their lack of ambition is their shortfall. The mission of SpaceX is to make life multiplanetary. Even slightly succeeding in that goal results in crushingly good performance to Earth orbit.”

“@TrungTPhan To be frank, in the early days, I thought there was >90% chance that both SpaceX & Tesla would be worth $0. The press & aerospace / automotive industry at the time (correctly) agreed with me.”
“@sana_J2 @SpaceX I want no pay, no awards, no recognition or fancy title. I just want America to reach greater heights.”

“Exactly [@WholeMarsBlog] For those who don’t know, OpenRouter is an abstraction layer that lets you send your requests to any LLM and change easily To be #1 you have to hit the right combination of performance and cost to be useful in the real world it can’t be faked and says a lot more than evals”
“@wapodavenport My plan is to use the money to get humanity to Mars and preserve the light of consciousness”
“@DiscoverMag There’s a massive amount of CO2 on Mars adsorbed into soil that’d be released upon heating. With enough energy via artificial or natural (sun) fusion, you can terraform almost any large, rocky body.”
“@MikeBenzCyber Doesn’t make sense. Starlink is the only company actually solving rural broadband at scale! They should arguably dissolve the program and return funds to taxpayers, but definitely not send it those who aren’t getting the job done. What actually happened is that the companies…”
“@grimnut @Tesla @WholeMarsBlog @DirtyTesla Haha”
“@aubreystrobel Yes, public viewing of Starship is easy from South Padre Island and the view is excellent. Also, the rocket factory and launch towers are right by a public highway.”
“@johnkrausphotos @SpaceX Starship Flight 3 hardware should be ready to fly in 3 to 4 weeks. There are three ships in final production in the high bay (as can be seen from the highway).”
“@WholeMarsBlog Maybe it’s time to build that flying metal suit of armor”
“@MarioNawfal @BNONews Rockets are hard”

“@WholeMarsBlog I am dumb way more often than I’d like to be!”
“@WholeMarsBlog Interesting, given that OpenAI has no authorized X/Twitter feed”
“@WholeMarsBlog 🤣🤣”
“@thesheetztweetz Not connecting Tesla cars to Starlink, as our terminal is much too big. This is for aircraft, ships, large trucks & RVs.”
“Starship career day at the Stargate building (Boca Chica Blvd, TX) this Thursday from 3pm to 9pm!”
“@WholeMarsBlog Guess that’s just how it goes”
“SpaceX could not do this without NASA. Can't express enough appreciation. https://t.co/uQpI60zAV7 https://x.com/nasa/status/836376097491202048”

“@catturd2 @WholeMarsBlog You make a compelling case”
“@WholeMarsBlog Tesla Fremont team is kicking a**!”
“@Erdayastronaut Mars colonial transporter”

“@WatchersTank @NASASpaceflight @SpaceX Cryogenic proof test passed”
“@FutureJurvetson @SpaceXStarlink @SpaceX It will get even simpler. Just two instructions for Starlink: plug in & point at sky. Can be done in either order.”
“@MarioNawfal SpaceX built the first high-bandwidth worldwide Internet system and they did not”
“@WholeMarsBlog There are some jobs that can be done effectively at home, but it is super out of touch to suggest that most people should do so, given that it is impossible. That’s why I likened it to “Let them eat cake”.”
“@WholeMarsBlog 🤣”
“Hyperloop pod race happening this weekend at SpaceX HQ (near LAX). We built a ~mile long vacuum tube on our campus big enough to fit people.”
“Great Q&A @defcon last night. Thanks for helping make Tesla & SpaceX more secure! Planning to open-source Tesla vehicle security software for free use by other car makers. Extremely important to a safe self-driving future for all.”
“@pwilsondtf @cb_doge Mars rise is next”
“@HarryStebbings Don’t want to jinx it, but SpaceX is positioned to grow strongly, no matter what macroeconomic conditions are like”
“Upgrades [@DrKnowItAll16] This is why Elon’s companies are different than all the others: these @Starlink metrics have almost doubled in the past 7 or 8 months with me doing nothing at all. What other internet company have you ever had that doubled their value without you spending or doing anything?”
“@WholeMarsBlog Curses, foiled again!”
“@SpacePadreIsle @SpaceX Agreed, should be preserved in memory of SN8”
