“Starship Flight 4 in about 2 weeks. Primary goal is getting through max reentry heating. Worth noting that no one has ever succeeded in creating a fully reusable heat shield. Shuttle required >6 months of rework.”
“SpaceX will carry ~90% of the world’s payload mass to space this year, so it is pretty much Earth’s space program [@xdNiBoR] SpaceX is essentially the US space program”
“The goal of the left is to destroy my influence. So they relentlessly push negative propaganda about me like the fake Nazi stuff and ignore anything positive. They are evil. [@KanekoaTheGreat] 🚨NEW: @JoeRogan blasts the legacy media for downplaying @ElonMusk and @SpaceX's heroic rescue of two astronauts trapped at the space station. "They're trying to sh*t on everything he does and hide all the good stuff. You didn't hear a peep about Elon rescuing those astronauts.”
“Even if we fail at creating a Mars colony that can grow without continuous support from Earth, the absurdly ambitious nature of the goal nonetheless results in the creation of alien-level technology that is crushingly better than competitors who merely aim for Earth orbit.”
“Congrats to the @SpaceX team on the 250th landing of a Falcon rocket https://t.co/U3KoKGmUOm”
“Life cannot just be about one sad thing after another. There must also be things that make us super excited and inspired about the future. This is one of things. Bigtime. [@elonmusk] SpaceX will build a system that allows anyone to travel to Moon. This will so insanely cool 🚀💫🤩”
“Raptor V3 just achieved 350 bar chamber pressure (269 tons of thrust). Congrats to @SpaceX propulsion team! Starship Super Heavy Booster has 33 Raptors, so total thrust of 8877 tons or 19.5 million pounds. https://t.co/ZlskpCXUmu”
“@PPathole @Tesla @SpaceX @neuralink @boringcompany I do love humanity”

“Mars is a planet purely of robots (for now) [@SpaceX] Falcon Heavy will launch the Rosalind Franklin rover to Mars in late 2028”
“True [@cb_doge] Media said Tesla would fail. Today, Tesla is worth $1.25 trillion. Media said SpaceX would fail. Today, SpaceX is dominating the space industry. Media said 𝕏 would fail. Today, 𝕏 is the #1 source of News. Now they are saying Grok will fail. 👀”
“Starlink still worked in Spain and Portugal when the whole countries lost power! Worth having @Starlink as backup, even if you have a gigabit landline. [@MarioNawfal] 🇪🇸 STARLINK USAGE SKYROCKETED DURING SPANISH BLACKOUTS Spain and Portugal’s power went poof last week - and mobile networks totally flopped. But guess what didn’t crash? Elon’s space WiFi. Starlink use jumped 35% over average, and 60% higher in Spain by Tuesday as phone”
“Starship is the first rocket/spaceship capable of making life multiplanetary, which requires it to be both far more powerful and far more advanced than anything that came before. [@johnkrausphotos] Starship: Humans for scale. Flight 8 today. )”
“The most exciting of times ahead! [@Tesla] TERAFAB: the next step to becoming a galactic civilization Together with @SpaceX & @xAI, we're building the largest chip manufacturing facility ever (1TW/year) – combining logic, memory & advanced packaging under one roof. To harness as much power as possible from the Sun, we”
“Starbase, Texas [@SpaceX] Starship moved to the pad at Starbase ahead of the eleventh flight test”
“Yes [@MarioNawfal] 🚨🇿🇦SOUTH AFRICA BANS STARLINK - BECAUSE ELON ISN’T BLACK The South African government claimed Elon’s “unprogressive” views were a key factor in their decision to prevent Starlink from operating in the country. In South Africa, companies must have at least 30% of their… )”
“Starlink is awesome. Great bandwidth and low latency anywhere on Earth. And soon off Earth. [@stephsmithio] The difference between standard in-flight wifi and Starlink is insane. Surprises me every time that it just *works* Our kids are going to think it’s crazy we ever couldn’t connect in the skies”
“The Starship factory is stunning [@jawwwn_] SpaceX COO @Gwynne_Shotwell: “I love working for @elonmusk.” “He’s funny— he’s hilarious actually.” “He focuses on things that I would never have thought were important.” “One is— beautiful spaces.” “This is one of the most beautiful factories I have ever seen.” Via @TIME”

“Starlink now offers global roaming”
“That will be one hell of a building! [@niccruzpatane] This would roughly be the scale of the Tesla/SpaceX TERAFAB compared to Tesla’s Giga Texas factory, which is already one of the largest buildings in the world. We are talking about an unprecedented amount of scale.”
“Starlink [@XFreeze] Starlink is now more affordable than ever The Starlink Mini is now just $199 at major retailers. That’s a 67% drop from its launch price and It’s portable, powerful, and now priced for the mass market SpaceX is also offering free or near-free terminals to distribution partners”
