“@xDaily Back to spending 24/7 at work and sleeping in conference/server/factory rooms. I must be super focused on 𝕏/xAI and Tesla (plus Starship launch next week), as we have critical technologies rolling out. As evidenced by the 𝕏 uptime issues this week, major operational”

“Starship [@johnkrausphotos] Starship Flight 8 is scheduled for no earlier than Friday, February 28 )”
“Download the @Grok app [@cb_doge] I asked Grok to generate an image of Starship lifting off. 🔥🚀 Try Grok 3, it's amazing! )”
“Starbase is an area that experiences storms and hurricanes that are far more serious than Starship launches. The real headline of this article is boring, because it would say “Starship Launches Cause No Damage” 😂”
“SN8 Starship with flaps & nosecone should be done in about a week. Then static fire, checkouts, static fire, fly to 60,000 ft & back.”
“Good Starship SN8 static fire! Aiming for first 15km / ~50k ft altitude flight next week. Goals are to test 3 engine ascent, body flaps, transition from main to header tanks & landing flip.”
“Starship fuel header tank https://t.co/CVj8057CY6”
“@kanyewest Starship were meant to fly and our next one launches in about 3 weeks, but I recommend waiting for a few more test flights before hopping on board @NICKIMINAJ”
“Stage 1 to stage 2 mass ratio is too high on Falcon 9, necessitating a long entry burn. This is fixed on Starship.”
“@TeslaOwnersEBay If remaining tests go well, we will attempt a Starship launch next month”
“Moonbase Alpha! https://t.co/SoTlsZcj9w [@johnkrausphotos] This is a real photo, not AI, of the Moon rising behind Starship. Let’s go to the Moon again. Let’s go and stay. Let’s go build Moon Base Alpha! Starship will do so 🚀”
“@EzerRatchaga Starship is super insane, but such a system is the only way for us to become a multiplanet civilization”
“The stars in Starship’s mirrored hull reflected”
“Renaming BFR to Starship”
“@Teslarati @JohnnaCrider1 Starship, with its voluminous cargo bay, will enable incredible space telescopes for astronomy”
“Data from 3 engine Starship static fire this morning looks good. Proceeding with nosecone mate.”
“Starship Super Heavy with 35 Raptors”
“@Teslaconomics My favorite video of Starship so far! Great shot when the flame points right at the camera.”
“Talked about Starship with National Academies Space Studies Board https://t.co/wMSUQYTNJg https://youtu.be/rLydXZOo4eA”
“The Starship landing video in the Indian Ocean was taken from a camera bolted to a Starlink terminal sitting in a kiddie pool 😂 https://t.co/XKp18Km2kx”
“Adding the rear moving fins to Starship Mk1 in Boca Chica, Texas https://t.co/HWLihqihph”
“By the way, our commercial Starlink program is the primary source of funding for Starship (NASA is helping too). So thank for buying Starlink and supporting humanity’s future in space. If you look closely at your Starlink router, you will notice that it has an illustration of…”
“🚀 Starships were meant to fly 🚀 https://t.co/6yclRVZZFQ https://m.soundcloud.com/nickiminaj/starships-1”
“Worth mentioning that switching to ultra hard, cold-rolled stainless steel for Starship is what led me to make Cybertruck out of it too”
“Starship SN1 tank preparing for Raptor attachment & static fire https://t.co/jx0ijLrxWx”
“Midsection of Starship propellant tanks https://t.co/Aa8yKPJEFS”
“Note, a newer version of Starship has the forward flaps shifted leeward. This will help improve reliability, ease of manufacturing and payload to orbit.”
“High bay for stacking Starship engine bay, propellant tanks & fairing (fka nosecone) sections is almost done! https://t.co/G9h0430ns2”
“Starship 9m test tank made 7.5 bar at room temp! Small leak at a weld doubler. Will be repaired & retested at cryo. https://t.co/Bz3lrwkYRU”
“Starship career day at the Stargate building (Boca Chica Blvd, TX) this Thursday from 3pm to 9pm!”
“Almost three now. Boca team is crushing it! Starship has giant dome 🤣🤣 https://t.co/qTN2TU02pb”
“Now that Hopper has flown, Starship update probably in two weeks or so.”
“Starship SN4 passed static fire”
“@Teslarati We’re going to try landing Starship on the moon with enough propellant to return to Earth”
“@SpacePadreIsle Starship is coming together!”
“Headed to Starship Cape Canaveral build site today”
“@NICKIMINAJ Starships were meant to fly 🚀”
“@arstechnica @SciGuySpace Starship will enable a quantum leap in deep space & planetary science”
“Ten Starships can produce a terawatt”
“~20m up & sideways for first flight. Mk1 Starship hopefully 20km up in a few months.”
“@Teslarati @RDAnglePhoto First orbital stack of Starship should be ready for flight in a few weeks, pending only regulatory approval”
“@TerminalCount The Starships feast in Valhalla!”
“Bottom half of Starship at night. Top half with forward fins & header tanks probably stacks on Wednesday. Three Raptors already installed. https://t.co/haq3m1V1Wm”
“@BassonBrain It will get really nutty when Starship is launching every hour in 3 years”
“@SawyerMerritt Starship and Starlink V3 will be a major step change”
“@JohnnaCrider1 @stats_feed In the coming years, Boring Co will attempt to build a working Hyperloop. From a known physics standpoint, this is the fastest possible way of getting from one city center to another for distances less than ~2000 miles. Starship is faster for longer journeys.”
“Getting ready for flight of orbit-class Starship design”
“@wapodavenport 16 flights is extremely unlikely. Starship payload to orbit is ~150 tons , so max of 8 to fill 1200 ton tanks of lunar Starship. Without flaps & heat shield, Starship is much lighter. Lunar landing legs don’t add much (1/6 gravity). May only need 1/2 full, ie 4 tanker flights.”
“Starship Hopper will do vertical flight tests similar to the Falcon 9 Hopper https://t.co/5dCrGFqymR http://youtu.be/NoxiK7K28PU”
“@thesheetztweetz @QuiltyAnalytics First Starship orbital flight will be with Raptor 2 engines, as they are much more capable & reliable. 230 ton or ~500k lb thrust at sea level. We’ll have 39 flightworthy engines built by next month, then another month to integrate, so hopefully May for orbital flight test.”
