“@katlinegrey I have been chief engineer/designer at SpaceX from day 1. Had I been better, our first 3 launches might have succeeded, but I learned from those mistakes. https://t.co/3r6ZqEc30A https://arstechnica.com/science/2018/07/as-the-spacex-steamroller-surges-european-rocket-industry-vows-to-resist/3/”
The tweet archive.
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.
“@EvaFoxU @StationCDRKelly SpaceX commercial terminals, like other commercial products, are meant for private use, not military, but we have not exercised our right to turn them off. We’re trying hard to do the right thing, where the “right thing” is an extremely difficult moral question.”
“@ErcXspace @SpaceX Gravity, gravity, time to escape that for me”
“@ScottAdamsSays @johniadarola @SenWarren I love Dilbert! Use it all the time to illustrate that we’re doing something wrong at Tesla/SpaceX if it could be a Dilbert cartoon irl. This happens more often than I’d like (sigh).”
“@TeslaOwnersEBay @AustinTeslaClub @Kristennetten @Tesla @TeslaChillMode @CodingMark @EvaFoxU @RationalEtienne @28delayslater @WholeMarsBlog 🤣🤣”
“@stocktalkweekly @WholeMarsBlog @SawyerMerritt The terminology is outdated & inaccurate. This is a tiny over-the-air software update. To the best of our knowledge, there have been no injuries.”
“@austinbarnard45 Weld esthetics will improve greatly in upcoming Starships”
“@truth_tesla @zshahan3 @garyblack00 @WholeMarsBlog @SawyerMerritt Biden is a UAW 🧦 puppet”
“@RGVaerialphotos @SpaceX Can’t wait for new high bay!”
“@cb_doge SpaceX will lean in big on the Moon”
“@cb_doge That was my primary residence for 3 years building up Starbase from an empty sandbar to rocket factory and launch site”
“@WholeMarsBlog Agreed, necessary change”
“@Rainmaker1973 Except for Starlink, which communicates via space lasers. Light travels ~40% faster in vacuum than fiber optics and on a more direct path, rather than following the outline of continents, so Starlink will be much faster over time than ocean cables. This is important.”
“@cb_doge Crazy that Starship is real!”
“Great video history of Falcon 9 by Kinematic https://t.co/EeGPVW7kq2 https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=tU1b1H2EWU4”
“@awoooouwuooooo @danpiemont This is a matter of execution, rather than ideas. Unless we make the heat shield relatively heavy, as is the case with our Dragon capsule, where reliability is paramount, we will only discover the weak points by flying. Right now, we are not resilient to loss of a single tile…”
“@teslaownersSV @WholeMarsBlog Our primary challenge is affordability. Creating an expensive truck is relatively easy. If it is extremely hard to do so for Tesla, despite our much greater economies of scale & better technology, then it is damn near impossible for others.”
“@ajtourville @SpaceX Totally insane!”
“@waitbutwhy Max payload of Starship V1 in expendable mode (like the other rockets) is ~200 tons. V3 is expected to be ~200 tons with full reusability and ~400 tons expendable. Length will grow by 20 to 30 meters and thrust to ~10k tons.”
“@rhemrajani9 @WholeMarsBlog @DavidSacks @JLinWins @BlueMoonTrades @MomAngtrades @DisruptorStocks @RinainDC @valueandtime @EvasTeslaSPlaid @Barchart @jasondebolt 🤣”
“@chrispavlovski @dbongino @rustyrockets Maybe worth talking at some point”
“@ApoStructura In about 3 years or so, Starship will launch more than once per hour”
“@KenKirtland17 @torybruno @ulalaunch @SpaceX @blueorigin @Erdayastronaut @DJSnM @ThePrimalDino Starship fairing will actually have more height than shown here. Dome will be flatter & more of tip is accessible. Usable volume ~1000 cubic meters.”
“@WholeMarsBlog 11.4.4 goes out end of this week”
“@WholeMarsBlog I was able to do several zero takeover drives around Austin last night using random map pin drops (no Tesla has ever done these routes)”
“SpaceX rocket factory as seen from space https://t.co/JNsvMsNvQX https://www.instagram.com/p/BYCjs0bgmNl/”
“@WholeMarsBlog We believe version 12 is ready for supervised FSD in LHD countries. RHD will take a bit longer.”
“@WholeMarsBlog Layers upon layers of neural nets, ever higher”
“@spideycyp_155 @SawyerMerritt @SpaceX In addition to terminals, we have to create, launch, maintain & replenish satellites & ground stations & pay telcos for access to Internet via gateways. We’ve also had to defend against cyberattacks & jamming, which are getting harder. Burn is approaching ~$20M/month.”
“@WholeMarsBlog Some late-breaking issues with 10.4. We’re deploying a patch to internal beta vehicles around 3am tomorrow. If that goes well, we may be able to release 10.4 to external beta vehicles on Sunday. Many good improvements.”
“Thanks for the longstanding faith in SpaceX. We very much look forward to doing this milestone flight with you. https://t.co/U2UFez0OhY https://x.com/ses_satellites/status/770602110996082688”
“From last year, but still my favorite video of the Falcon 9 rocket booster returning from space… https://t.co/b935pdz2Xi https://www.instagram.com/p/BYTrSaHgS-Z/”
“@cb_doge Much appreciated! We will do our best to serve the people of India with Starlink.”
“@ajtourville @Starlink This could help a lot of people if they are stranded in the wilderness”
“@JimBridenstine @NASA @SpaceX @Commercial_Crew Thanks on behalf of the @SpaceX team! Thank you also for the support @NASA has provided over the years, without which this would not have happened.”
“@REQNews Yes, we can fly Starship around space & chomp up debris with the moving fairing door”
“@BillAckman @SpaceX @X Exactly. If the Kamala regime wins, they will stifle progress. It is in their nature and they cannot help but do what is in their nature. Frog and the scorpion.”
“@engineers_feed This is how we make Falcon 9”
“RT @SawyerMerritt: NEWS: British Airways has signed a deal with @SpaceX to make Starlink internet available at no cost to every passenger s…”
“@teslaownersSV @WholeMarsBlog No, they still refuse to explain how they calculate that 5% of daily users are fake/spam! Very suspicious.”
“@WholeMarsBlog Uh oh”
“RT @DiscussingFilm: Keanu Reeves when asked if he has anything left to accomplish in his life: “I want to go to Mars” (Source: @etnow) ht…”
“@WholeMarsBlog FSD is best in Bay Area, given engineering mostly lives there, but rest of country will soon be at that level”
“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX I super support public spaces around our production & launch sites, wherever it can be done safely and securely. When covid passes, we will open up our restaurant to the public & figure out ways to allow limited access to the High Bar.”
“@MarshaBlackburn One of the most insane coverups ever”
“@SamTalksTesla @teslaownersSV @PPathole @RationalEtienne @stevenmarkryan @Kristennetten @WholeMarsBlog Pretty wild, considering that Exxon was the most valuable company in the word when we went public 10 years ago”
“@SpaceXMR 🤣”
“@Jason cgi irl @spacex”
“@FedorovMykhailo @Gwynne_Shotwell Looks like the steps we took to stop the unauthorized use of Starlink by Russia have worked. Let us know if more needs to be done.”
“@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.”
