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.
“@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…”
“@rmcentush Starship could deliver 100GW/year to high Earth orbit within 4 to 5 years if we can solve the other parts of the equation. 100TW/year is possible from a lunar base producing solar-powered AI satellites locally and accelerating them to escape velocity with a mass driver.”
“Really tempting to redesign upper stage for return too (Falcon Heavy has enough power), but prob best to stay focused on the Mars rocket”
“@sundarpichai Thanks :) SpaceX team is incredible. All done without AI so far, even Starship. With AI, I can’t even imagine the possibilities.”
“@BryceSpaceTech @SpaceX Still very tiny potatoes compared to what’s needed to make life multiplanetary”
“@WholeMarsBlog Neuralink plus Optimus has potential for incredible artificial limbs”
“RT @SpaceX: Starship reenters Earth’s atmosphere on Flight 11. Data gathered from this flight will inform future Starship missions that wil…”
“RT @SpaceX: Booster 18, the first Super Heavy V3, is beginning prelaunch testing. The first operations will test the booster's redesigned p…”
“RT @Starlink: Devastating to hear of the earthquake’s toll on Thailand and Myanmar. The SpaceX team is prepared to provide Starlink kits to…”
“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX @Caspar_Stanley @IzanRamos2002 Enabling engines to take the heat without shrouds might save over 10 tons, all things considered. Shrouds are also a risk in that fuel leaks could be contained by the shroud, forming a MOX bomb. Booster is purging all 33 engine shrouds in flight to prevent this.”
“@rschmied @spideycyp_155 @SawyerMerritt @SpaceX Internet fiber, phone lines, cell towers & other space-based comms in war areas have been destroyed. Starlink is all that’s left. For now. https://t.co/CdjbOWgziz https://www.wired.com/story/viasat-internet-hack-ukraine-russia/amp”
“@BryceSpaceTech Still basically nothing compared to the orbital mass flux needed for a base on moon or Mars”
“@jeff_foust Plan is to do powered landings on Mars for sure, but with a vastly bigger ship”
“@WholeMarsBlog The amount of testing time it takes to figure out if the new AI is better than the existing AI as measured by miles between interventions is the limiting factor on progress. The better FSD gets the longer it takes to find interventions.”
“RT @iam_smx: That uplifting moment when a SpaceX employee met Elon Musk, gave him a hug, and shared his optimism about the upcoming Starshi…”
“@Commercial_Crew @AstroBehnken @Astro_Doug Culmination of a truly incredible amount of work by @SpaceX & @NASA engineering, along with support of all International @Space_Station countries”
“@skorusARK This makes no sense. Starlink already covers Earth and our user terminals are being built & deployed super fast. This whole program will soon be redundant.”
“RT @Starlink: The network issue has been resolved, and Starlink service has been restored. We understand how important connectivity is and…”
“@benhylak @SpaceX I have never fired someone for taking a picture of me”
“@Erdayastronaut @robert_zubrin Unfortunately, Starship unlikely to survive LEO entry intact without shielding on windward side, but none required on leeward. Even windward shielding is very light.”
“Postponing launch to replace fairing pneumatic valve. It is dual redundant, but not worth taking a chance. https://t.co/vnfxmeer7h https://x.com/spacex/status/876522258948169728”
“@Andy8671025 @WholeMarsBlog Solar panels, ground mount & rooftop, paired with stationary batteries, will be civilization’s primary source of energy, as sure as day follows night. Mark these words.”
“@WholeMarsBlog Production rate and fully considered cost are the challenges. Demand for stationary batteries is super high. I think Tesla might end up doing more total Joules in stationary than mobile long-term.”
“RT @Gwynne_Shotwell: SpaceX has hosted hundreds of students this year from 20+ schools across the RGV – including elementary STEM classes,…”
“@harrison_astro We can do that partially, but detailed rocket technology is considered advanced weaponry (same tech as nuclear missiles), so there are more limitations than at Tesla”
“@harsimranbansal @heydave7 It will most likely make sense for Starlink to go public once the revenue growth is reasonably predictable”
“RT @SpaceX: This was the first Starship to be static fired on the orbital launch mount, which was modified by engineers and technicians at…”
“Researchers at @NASA propose using @SpaceX Falcon/Dragon for Mars sample return mission http://t.co/U6LNKyF4Jr http://news.yahoo.com/red-dragon-mars-sample-return-mission-could-launch-114405239.html”
“@PPathole That’s when all life on Earth will be boiled off. What matters is how long civilization is capable of making the jump to Mars. This could be a very short period of time measured in decades. It took 4.5 billion years to get to this point & civilization isn’t looking super stable.”
“@ajtourville @Starlink 🧐 That would be unprecedented, as this spectrum was long designated by the ITU as shared spectrum for satellites.”
“@engineers_feed A 10% reduction in g would make orbital rockets so much easier, but a 10% increase would make them almost impossible”
“RT @Gwynne_Shotwell: Get on board! We are going to Mars! SpaceX is now offering Starship services to the red planet. We’re excited to work…”
“@WholeMarsBlog @bindureddy Tell me about it”
“@ajtourville Starlink direct to cell phone emergency services will work with existing cell phones, so no extra hardware required”
“@GailAlfarATX @SpaceX @latestinspace @4thFromOurStar @cnunezimages @jessica_kirsh @JoeTegtmeyer @redditSpacePorn @Tesla @OwenSparks_ Константи́н Циолко́вский”
“RT @Starlink: Thank you to our 1 million active Starlink Roam customers! The Starlink team is dedicated to providing an incredible high-s…”
“@CodingMark @Andy8671025 @WholeMarsBlog Exactly. Ecosystem is almost entirely dependent on the sun already. Civilization’s energy needs are absurdly tiny compared to what the sun sends us for free (~1 GWh/day/km^2).”
“We figured out how to design rocket parts just w hand movements through the air (seriously). Now need a high frame rate holograph generator.”
“@PeterDiamandis With the advent of Starship, there is finally a path to solar-powered AI satellites at massive scale. It is the only path I can see that would allow for deployment of 1TW/year of AI.”
“@annerajb @waitbutwhy Looks like a thin, flat, round UFO on a stick. Starlink Terminal has motors to self-adjust optimal angle to view sky. Instructions are simply: - Plug in socket - Point at sky These instructions work in either order. No training required.”
“RT @SpaceX: In addition to continued infrastructure development at Starbase, Texas, where SpaceX is headquartered, SpaceX is expanding its…”
“@RichardHanania Best to hear it in the words I have used in many interviews over the years. I have not fwiw “volunteered my sperm” 😂 No one at SpaceX has been directed to work on a Mars city. When people have asked to do so, I’ve said we need to focus on getting there first.”
“RT @Starlink: Engineered for durability, Performance was designed to be a ruggedized solution for customers who require reliable, high-spee…”
“RT @cb_doge: NEWS: SpaceX is now using a voice-based AI assistant powered by Grok to handle Starlink customer support calls. The voice soun…”
“@cb_doge Starlink has an incredible advantage over competing systems: it actually works”

“@TrungTPhan I came to the (obvious) conclusion that a radical improvement in rocket technology was needed to make life multiplanetary. That required creating a company, as success was not in the set of possible outcomes for the existing rocket companies.”
“RT @Gwynne_Shotwell: The SpaceX team never ceases to amaze me! Incredible work. And a thank you to all of our partners around the world. T…”
