“@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.”
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.
“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”
“@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 🔥🔥”
“@WhatsupFranks @TeslaGong Currency is already digital! Decentralized crypto is an attempt to wrest power of currency dilution (pernicious form of taxation) & capital controls from governments. That said, I sure hope the cure is better than the disease! Mars/AI are essential to passing the great filter/s.”
“@Erdayastronaut @Teslaconomics @SpaceX We could build a lot more, but the next version of Raptor is really the one to scale up production. We begin testing it in McGregor within a week or so. Regenerative cooling and secondary flow paths have been made integral to the whole engine, thus no heat shield is required.…”
“@PPathole @SpaceX @4thFromOurStar Sure hope so!”
“@WholeMarsBlog Yup, massive.”
“@WholeMarsBlog 10.69.2 has a relatively small number of code changes, but their practical effect will be significant”
“@FutureJurvetson @SpaceX Definitely one of the strangest meetings I’ve ever experienced. @adeoressi was there too.”
“@SciGuySpace SpaceX rockets are 80% reusable, theirs are 0%. This is the actual problem.”
“@GailAlfarATX @SpaceX @cnunezimages Great citizen journalism!”
“@SpacePadreIsle @SpaceX Haha”
“@NASASpaceflight Still aiming for booster 4 & Ship 20 for first orbital test flight (this is pure coincidence!)”
“@Tesmanian_com The magnitude of the Starship program is not widely appreciated. It is designed to extend life to Mars (and the moon), which requires ~1000 times more payload to orbit than all current Earth rockets combined.”
“@RenataKonkoly @SpaceX Machete!!”
“@engineers_feed Hell of a rocket! Probably would have succeeded if Korolev had not died. Hopefully, Starship is more fortunate.”
“@WholeMarsBlog Most people have no idea, even though there are so many FSD progress videos posted. Munro understood right away. There will be a gap before the next release, but then it will be a step change better. Tesla is solving a major real-world AI problem.”
“@SpaceX Launch underway”
