“@SpaceX Testing Raptor in vertical configuration (on the giant tripod) should allow us to simplify some aspects of the engine design”

“@WholeMarsBlog Next release (10.12) is another step towards all NN’s using surround video & reconciling output to a unified vector space for control code. Improves complex intersections in heavy traffic. Many upgrades to core code, so taking longer to debug issues. Probably Wed/Thurs release.”

“@ErcXspace @smvllstvrs T/W will be ~1.5, so it will accelerate unusually fast. High T/W is important for reusable vehicles to make more efficient use of propellant, the primary cost. For expendable rockets, throwing away stages is the primary cost, so optimization is low T/W.”

“@WholeMarsBlog First I’ve learned of this. Will be patched shortly.”

“@WholeMarsBlog Yup”

“@thesheetztweetz @QuiltyAnalytics SpaceX default plan was ~65% of global launch mass to orbit this year. Incremental demand might take that to ~70%, so not a major change. Those numbers don’t count Starship. Rough math is ~16 tons * 50 launches = 800 tons. Rest of world is <400 tons (mostly China).”

“@TeslaLarry SpaceX even launched competing satellite constellations with no markup. Same price for all.”

“@DJSnM Booster landing was on target, ship landing was several km off due to flap damage, but both were soft landings”

“RT @SpaceX: Starship’s ninth flight test marked a major milestone for reuse with the first flight-proven Super Heavy booster launching from…”

“@WholeMarsBlog 🤣🤣 chief troll officer at ur service”

“@WholeMarsBlog Took us way too long”

“@WholeMarsBlog That and giving it a brain”

“@BillyM2k @WholeMarsBlog The media has strong negative bias & are driven by clicks (they can’t help it). Unfortunately, I generate lots of clicks. But these things move in cycles. When it starts boring readers to knock me down, they will build me up. This cycle has happened so many times …”

“@PPathole Mars looks amazing”

“@WholeMarsBlog This should be clear to anyone who has experienced the FSD beta evolution. Self-driving requires solving a major part of real-world AI, so it’s an insanely hard problem, but Tesla is getting it done. AI Day will be great.”

“Will run the SpaceX pusher sled later this week and see what it can do”

“@WholeMarsBlog This is a big one! Expect some two steps forward, one step back situations. These will be great ironed in point releases, hence ~10.12.2 or 10.13 for wider beta release.”

“@SpaceX We're going to spend the 4th doing a full review of rocket & pad systems. Launch no earlier than 5th/6th. Only one chance to get it right …”

“@Thavisin @Tesla @SpaceX @Starlink It was an honor to meet. Thailand has a very exciting future!”

“@SawyerMerritt @heydave7 @WholeMarsBlog @WSJ Good point, will do”

“@JohnnaCrider1 @Iupsychdoctor @AOC @RobinhoodApp Shopify is great too. SpaceX used them.”

“@SpaceXMR Tragically, it is not clear that the defense contractors can get to the moon for any amount of money. More than $200B has been spent on development of new US crewed space transport systems over past ~40 years, but only Dragon is flying. Development cost to NASA was <$2B.”

“@WholeMarsBlog Tomorrow around 4pm PT”

“@WholeMarsBlog And much more than that in cumulative inference compute in vehicle”

“Congrats to the @SpaceX Falcon Team! [deleted tweet]”

“@RenataKonkoly @Erdayastronaut And booster used to be 70m, but this required an awkward half barrel width of steel, so now it’s 69m”

“@ErcXspace @SpaceX 😍”

“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX cgi irl”

“Investigating a (very small) leak in the upper stage. If ok, will launch tomorrow. https://t.co/bQf97lywn4 https://x.com/spacex/status/832644375863717889”

“@StianWalgermo @Tesla @WholeMarsBlog Wow!”

“@Starlink Sandy Poon ftw 😂 Made it to #4 overall and #1 hardcore Druid https://t.co/DsIalpFRGt”

“@RealWheelieman @WholeMarsBlog 10.12 will significantly improve unprotected left turns”

“@smartass505 @ZainS180 @VikingRocket @WholeMarsBlog Oh man, this year has been such a supply chain nightmare & it’s not over! I will provide an updated product roadmap on next earnings call.”

“@aaronburnett Starship will profoundly affect the destiny of humanity”

“@WholeMarsBlog Exactly”

“@arstechnica @SciGuySpace Falcon 9 is almost always at max capacity. When it has “spare” performance, it flies back to land, which costs much less than using a droneship. Our fundamental constraint is mass to orbit per unit time. Last year, SpaceX launched roughly double payload mass of rest of world.”

“@TeslaGong @torybruno At least a few years before Starlink revenue is reasonably predictable. Going public sooner than that would be very painful. Will do my best to give long-term Tesla shareholders preference.”

“SpaceX is still in the early stages of developing advanced micro-satellites operating in large formations. Announcement in 2 to 3 months.”

“RT @nvidia: From rockets to AI. Nine years after the original NVIDIA DGX-1 handoff, Jensen Huang delivered a brand-new DGX Spark to @ElonM…”

“@SpaceX In a few years, we will finally have a Raptor 3/4 vacuum version (giant nozzle) that has an Isp of 380”

“@WholeMarsBlog It would be great, but subject to board and shareholder approval”

“@RDAnglePhoto @SpaceX @Teslarati Yes, it does.”

“@MarshaBlackburn Cool”

“@WholeMarsBlog Very sorry to hear that. Condolences to JB and his family.”

“Turns out MCT can go well beyond Mars, so will need a new name…”

“@alifarhat79 @alx Couldn’t sleep last night because of Starship launch”

“RT @MarshaBlackburn: Last month, Apple News posted ZERO articles by right-leaning outlets and more than 400 by left-leaning outlets. I se…”

“@karpathy The ratio of machine to human compute skyrockets”

“Target altitude of 40,600 km achieved. Thanks @SES_Satellites for riding on Falcon 9! Looking forward to future missions.”

“@ErcXspace @SpaceX @Erdayastronaut 🔥🔥”
