“@MarcusHouse Starship will enable humanity to become a multiplanet species”

“@iliketeslas @WholeMarsBlog Other cars change prices constantly and often by wide margins via dealer markups and manufacturer/dealer incentives. Only a fool thinks the “MSRP” is the real price. Tesla prices must change frequently in order to match production with demand.”

“@rookisaacman If civilization is reasonably stable for the next ~30 years, a self-sustaining city of a million+ people will be built on Mars”

“@MuskUniversity Fully reusable orbital rockets are the fundamental breakthrough needed for humanity to become a multiplanet species”

“@lrocket @TonyeFreeman Thanks for teaching me so much about rocket engines!”

“@PPathole @Tesla @SpaceX @neuralink @boringcompany I’m trying my hardest! Perhaps more people might consider loving humanity. Our collective light of consciousness is a tiny candle in a vast darkness. Please do not let it go out.”

“RT @SpaceX: After stage separation, Super Heavy flipped in a controlled direction for the first time. This maneuver requires less propellan…”

“@PeterDiamandis @wholemars It will drop to a low number, but never zero. The cost will be measured in Joules.”

“@aparanjape @Erdayastronaut @SpaceX I do think that great design & engineering of products are critical, but manufacturing & supply chain require orders of magnitude more work”

“@rhemrajani9 @WholeMarsBlog @DavidSacks @JLinWins @BlueMoonTrades @MomAngtrades @DisruptorStocks @RinainDC @valueandtime @EvasTeslaSPlaid @Barchart @jasondebolt 🤣”

“@WholeMarsBlog Some late-breaking issues with 10.4. We’re deploying a patch to internal beta vehicles around 3am tomorrow. If that goes well, we may be able to release 10.4 to external beta vehicles on Sunday. Many good improvements.”

“@BillAckman @SpaceX @X Exactly. If the Kamala regime wins, they will stifle progress. It is in their nature and they cannot help but do what is in their nature. Frog and the scorpion.”

“@WholeMarsBlog Cells & FSD are massive, the rest is just beauty & romance … but life is empty without those last two”

“@stillgray Olbermann has achieved the impossible and gone BEYOND "full retard" 🤣🤣 SpaceX is the primary communication system of the Ukrainian military on the front lines, because everything else has been destroyed or jammed by the Russians!”

“@peterrhague As I said in my post, we will still do Mars in parallel, but the critical path to a self-growing Moon city is faster. The Moon city can be made to be self-growing in less than half the time of Mars. The critical juncture for humanity’s expansion beyond Earth is having a… https://t.co/vn78V12Bra https://x.com/i/web/status/2020829121916412129”

“@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.”

“@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).”

“@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 …”

“@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.”

“@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”

“@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.”

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

“@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.”

“@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.”

“@austinbarnard45 Total coincidence! Also, booster height was originally 70m, but we eliminated a half barrel for manufacturing efficiency, so now it’s …”

“@yousuck2020 Thanks for helping fund a rocket & spaceship that could take humanity beyond Earth!”

“@Tesmanian_com Award accepted on behalf of the great people at Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink & Boring Co”

“@cnunezimages @SpaceX @SpaceIntellige3 Human for scale”

“@jonbbc @WholeMarsBlog @aelluswamy 10.69.1 is even better. We reduced latency & jitter in hardware command loop, so time from object detection to brake actuation is 10% to 20% better.”

“@WholeMarsBlog Our NNs didn’t have any temporal & spatial memory or surround video auto-labeling back then – everything was knitted together in C++ from single frames with manual labeling. Still much to improve.”

“@WatchersTank @SpaceX We’re almost done with first prototype booster. This will go to test stand A. Next one will fly to orbit. Team has been crushing it many days & nights in a row!”

“RT @VoteMarsha: It’s been 1,394 days since I asked Ketanji Brown Jackson a simple question: Can you define the word ‘woman’? Her answer wa…”

“@ICannot_Enough @engineers_feed Yeah, it’s insane! Roughly 70% of Earth is ocean and most of the ocean has zero ships per Starlink cell. Most people think Earth is crowded with humans, but in reality it’s almost empty by surface area. Humans congregate in a very small percentage of Earth (cities). The entire…”

“@chazman @Tesla @Starlink @cybertruck Yes, Cybertruck FSD releases with 12.5, which also finally merges the city and highway code.”

“@WholeMarsBlog And many other things”

“@Adamklotz_ @SpaceX Next major technology rev is at SN20. Those ships will be orbit-capable with heat shield & stage separation system. Ascent success probability is high. However, SN20+ vehicles will probably need many flight attempts to survive Mach 25 entry heating & land intact.”

“@SawyerMerritt @Starlink @Gwynne_Shotwell SpaceX will be the largest PCB manufacturer in the Americas within a few months (low bar tbh)”

“@lexfridman In theory, it saves landing leg mass & enables immediate reflight of an otherwise unwieldy, giant rocket”

“@amuse If Trump is not elected, the slow strangulation by overregulation will stop humanity from reaching Mars”

“@TrevorMahlmann @arstechnica V1.1 legs will be ~60% longer. V2.0 legs will be much wider & taller — like Falcon, but capable of landing on unimproved surfaces & auto-leveling.”

“@Adamklotz_ @SpaceX BN1 is a manufacturing pathfinder, so will be scrapped. We learned a lot, but have already changed design to BN2. Goal is to get BN2 with engines on orbital pad before end of April. It might even be orbit-capable if we are lucky.”

“@WholeMarsBlog Vision became so good that radar actually reduced SNR, so radar was turned off. Humans drive with eyes & biological neural nets, so makes sense that cameras & silicon neural nets are only way to achieve generalized solution to self-driving.”

“@WholeMarsBlog So many”

“@TrevorMahlmann @SpaceX Major esthetics improvements coming”

“RT @SpaceX: For the first time in our existence, we possess the means, technology, and, for the moment, the will to establish a permanent h…”

“@PPathole @arstechnica @SciGuySpace If 2021 manifest is met, SpaceX will do ~75% of total Earth payload to orbit with Falcon. A single Starship is designed to do in a day what all rockets on Earth currently do in a year. Even so, ~1000 Starships will take ~20 years to build a self-sustaining city on Mars.”

“@AstroBehnken @SpaceX @NASA @Space_Station Manufactured only 5 mins from LAX!”

“@WholeMarsBlog @tkrisher He’s actually a lobbyist, not a journalist. There are many who pose as the latter while behaving like the former. No integrity. Indeed, there were no safety issues. The car simply slowed to ~2 mph & continued forward if clear view with no cars or pedestrians.”
