“@lrocket Exactly. SpaceX was told repeatedly that hiring anyone who was not a permanent resident of the United States would violate international arms trafficking law, which would be a criminal offense. We couldn’t even hire Canadian citizens, despite Canada being part of NORAD! This…”

“@willardslammo @marshall5912 @buckycovington @MacTechGenius That means nothing. Literally your Mom could file for NLRB.”
“@MemesOfMars @cleantechnica Hopefully next year”
“Welcome! Orbital space centers and mass drivers on the Moon will be incredible. [@milichab] I’m joining @SpaceX and @xai with @JasonBud. X is the company realizing science fiction - reusable rockets, humanoid robots, data centers in space, and more. Almost 10 years ago, I joined SpaceX as an intern on Dragon 2 crew displays. This was in the era of the first rocket”
“@JamesMarstersOf @bioshock Always”
“@marshall5912 @buckycovington @MacTechGenius Yeah, “Reveal” was carefully constructed propaganda with a name that wd make Orwell proud. Workplace injury rate of our factory when it was UAW w Toyota/GM was twice as high as today’s non-union.”
“@EvaFoxU @MemesOfMars @fermatslibrary Nice compression”
“SpaceX option package for new Tesla Roadster will include ~10 small rocket thrusters arranged seamlessly around car. These rocket engines dramatically improve acceleration, top speed, braking & cornering. Maybe they will even allow a Tesla to fly …”
“@MacTechGenius @marshall5912 @buckycovington Exactly 🚀💫🎉! That will be really fun & shed light on what’s happening. Hoping to start that later this year after we become profitable. Difficult to justify before then.”

“The zoomed-in section is cute [@FutureJurvetson] 🚀 The Q4 Rocket Report just came out, with a record breaking surge in launch activity. SpaceX had 97% share of U.S. launch, and 83% globally. China was 8%, Russia 4%, all other U.S. 3%, Korea 1%, Japan 0.6%, Europe 0.2%, and India 0.1%”
“True [@XFreeze] Elon will never stifle competition - SpaceX literally proves it with every launch Here's what most people don't know: SpaceX launches satellites for Starlink's direct competitors - OneWeb, Amazon's Project Kuiper, and others......on the exact same Falcon 9 rockets, with the”
“@Rainmaker1973 Big rockets are needed to make life multiplanetary!”
“600 [@XFreeze] SPACEX JUST MADE HISTORY AGAIN - 600 OVERALL FALCON MISSIONS Today, SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 rocket carrying NROL-105 for the National Reconnaissance Office from Vandenberg Space Force Base This was the 600th overall Falcon mission, with an overall success rate of ~99.5%… https://x.com/i/web/status/2012451992652927213”
“@BArtusio Three cable elevator on a crane. Wind force on Mars is low, so don't need to worry about being blown around.”
“@SpaceX 16 story tall rocket, traveling several times faster than a bullet, backflips & fires engines to return to launch site”
“Fun mission [@MarioNawfal] 🚨SPACE BREAKTHROUGH: SPACEX LAUNCHES FIRST ASTEROID MINING MISSION A SpaceX rocket has launched Odin, a spacecraft built by startup AstroForge, on a mission to study asteroid 2022 OB5, which is 1 million miles from Earth.

“It’s a big deal [@cb_doge] ELON MUSK: "The major breakthrough that SpaceX is hoping to achieve this year is full reusability. No one has ever achieved full reusability of a rocket, which is very important for the cost of access to space. We've achieved partial re usability with Falcon 9.

“@teslaownersSV The Iron Man statue was given to SpaceX because part of Iron Man 2 was filmed in the rocket factory”
“@ProTheDoge Lots of people I talked to on the production lines at Tesla or building rockets at SpaceX own Doge. They aren’t financial experts or Silicon Valley technologists. That’s why I decided to support Doge – it felt like the people’s crypto.”
“Putting together SpaceX rocket landing blooper reel. We messed up a lot before it finally worked, but there's some epic explosion footage …”
“@TheZvi Because everyone’s job is safety. It’s not some fake department with no power to assuage the concerns of outsiders. Tesla has no safety team and is the safest car. SpaceX has no safety team and has the safest rocket. Dragon is what NASA trusts most to fly astronauts.”
“Besides ensuring the continuance of life, creating a base on Mars would be the most exciting adventure ever!”
“@lrocket Thanks for everything you did to help build SpaceX! Some of the best memories ever.”
“Definitely [@aaronburnett] Cathie discussing SpaceX convergence on orbital data centers and reusable rockets with Peter and friends. Ark and team deserve a ton of credit for not only recognizing that last year was the right time to begin diving deep into SpaceX modeling, but also for being so generous with… https://x.com/i/web/status/2017690607318405419”

“SpaceX does more meaningful, cutting-edge “research” on the advancement of rockets and satellites than all the academic university labs on Earth combined. But we don’t use the pretentious, low-accountability term “researcher”. Engineer.”

“@MicahMaidenberg Countries & companies aim too low. Their lack of ambition is their shortfall. The mission of SpaceX is to make life multiplanetary. Even slightly succeeding in that goal results in crushingly good performance to Earth orbit.”
“SpaceX [@cb_doge] ELON MUSK: "The overall goal of my companies is to maximize the future of civilization, like basically maximize the probability that civilization has a great future and to expand consciousness beyond Earth.

“@SawyerMerritt @SpaceX It’s a start. About 1000 times more mass to orbit per year will be needed to make life multiplanetary.”
“@esherifftv That is unacceptable. It is absurd that SpaceX can build a giant rocket faster than they can shuffle paperwork!”
“@leastImAlive @PPathole Yeah, sold my houses, except for 1 in Bay Area that’s rented out for events. Working on sustainable energy for Earth with Tesla & protecting future of consciousness by making life multiplanetary with SpaceX. Also, AI risk mitigation with Neuralink & fixing traffic with Boring.”
“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX That’s actually our restaurant, but SpaceX is building a futuristic bar at the top of the high bay with 360 degree windows & a glass floor looking down on the rocket factory”
“@n23mc I think we will see people on Mars in less than 20 years. 12 to 15 years most likely. #OccupyMars”
“Falcon 9 will experience its highest ever reentry force and heat in today's launch. Good chance rocket booster doesn't make it back.”
“@considercosmos @SpaceX Booster & Ship will return to orbital launch pad on Monday (winds allowing). Just finishing off some small plumbing & wiring, which is easier in high bay.”
