“@heydave7 @WholeMarsBlog A careful observer would note that my (low basis) share sale rate significantly exceeds my 10b (high basis) option exercise rate, thus closer to tax maximization than minimization.”

“RT @MarshaBlackburn: It’s corrupt: @DOGE found that 6,300 aliens admitted with criminal or terror ties went on to receive a SSN and benefit…”
“@StonksReddit @rschmied @spideycyp_155 @SawyerMerritt @SpaceX Starlink is the primary communications system of the Ukrainian army on the war front. If anyone else wants this job, please be my guest …”
“@WholeMarsBlog Very much a beta calculation. It will evolve over time to more accurately predict crash probability.”
“RT @cb_doge: One of the most beautiful booster landing footages ever. https://t.co/Cw0wbSUxbT”
“@NASA @SpaceX 🚀♥️”
“@WholeMarsBlog Good question”
“@WholeMarsBlog It’s not like we didn’t see it coming”
“@spacex360 GAO 💪”
“@MuskUniversity Fully reusable orbital rockets are the fundamental breakthrough needed for humanity to become a multiplanet species”
“@ErcXspace @SpaceX Ship leeward side will be bare metal, windward will have black, hexagonal heat shield tiles”
“@lrocket @TonyeFreeman Thanks for teaching me so much about rocket engines!”
“@WholeMarsBlog Exactly!”
“@WholeMarsBlog Yep”
“@TheEVuniverse @WholeMarsBlog @SawyerMerritt @alex_avoigt ~69% market share”
“@SpaceX Even though it’s meant to be used for emergencies, it looks like a lot of fun!”
“If schedule holds there will be two Falcon 9 launches within 48 hours (Cape & Vandenberg) this weekend https://t.co/GbleRPm6iZ https://x.com/spacex/status/876522478046068737”
“@WholeMarsBlog Yeah”
“Great progress by Starship Cape team. Started several months behind, but catching up fast. This will be a super fun race to orbit, moon & Mars!”
“@WholeMarsBlog This is written by Ford/UAW lobbyists, as they make their electric car in Mexico. Not obvious how this serves American taxpayers. https://t.co/FUUXARHlby https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-06-03/ford-production-of-electric-mustang-exceeds-gas-powered-pony-car”
“@WholeMarsBlog They’re being driven around in limousines, so they can’t grok it”
“@SpaceXMR 🤣”
“@PPathole @SpaceX We need serious tonnage to Mars”
“@RGVaerialphotos @SpaceX I’m proud to say that that nose is pointier than it needs to be haha”
“RT @SpaceX: After stage separation, Super Heavy flipped in a controlled direction for the first time. This maneuver requires less propellan…”
“@SawyerMerritt @SpaceX To be precise, 25,300 terminals were sent to Ukraine, but, at present, only 10,630 are paying for service”
“@PeterDiamandis @wholemars It will drop to a low number, but never zero. The cost will be measured in Joules.”
“@WholeMarsBlog A surprising number of people simply haven’t tried it yet, so have no idea”
“@aparanjape @Erdayastronaut @SpaceX I do think that great design & engineering of products are critical, but manufacturing & supply chain require orders of magnitude more work”
“@harrison_astro Yes, we are talking to airlines about installing Starlink. Please let them know if you want it on your airliner. Low latency ~half gigabit connectivity in the air!”
“@katlinegrey I have been chief engineer/designer at SpaceX from day 1. Had I been better, our first 3 launches might have succeeded, but I learned from those mistakes. https://t.co/3r6ZqEc30A https://arstechnica.com/science/2018/07/as-the-spacex-steamroller-surges-european-rocket-industry-vows-to-resist/3/”
“@EvaFoxU @StationCDRKelly SpaceX commercial terminals, like other commercial products, are meant for private use, not military, but we have not exercised our right to turn them off. We’re trying hard to do the right thing, where the “right thing” is an extremely difficult moral question.”
“@ErcXspace @SpaceX Gravity, gravity, time to escape that for me”
“@stocktalkweekly @WholeMarsBlog @SawyerMerritt The terminology is outdated & inaccurate. This is a tiny over-the-air software update. To the best of our knowledge, there have been no injuries.”
“@austinbarnard45 Weld esthetics will improve greatly in upcoming Starships”
“@RGVaerialphotos @SpaceX Can’t wait for new high bay!”
“@cb_doge SpaceX will lean in big on the Moon”
“@cb_doge That was my primary residence for 3 years building up Starbase from an empty sandbar to rocket factory and launch site”
“@WholeMarsBlog Agreed, necessary change”
“@Rainmaker1973 Except for Starlink, which communicates via space lasers. Light travels ~40% faster in vacuum than fiber optics and on a more direct path, rather than following the outline of continents, so Starlink will be much faster over time than ocean cables. This is important.”
“@cb_doge Crazy that Starship is real!”
“Great video history of Falcon 9 by Kinematic https://t.co/EeGPVW7kq2 https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=tU1b1H2EWU4”
“@awoooouwuooooo @danpiemont This is a matter of execution, rather than ideas. Unless we make the heat shield relatively heavy, as is the case with our Dragon capsule, where reliability is paramount, we will only discover the weak points by flying. Right now, we are not resilient to loss of a single tile…”
“@GerberKawasaki We had to shift some Starlink satellite orbits to reduce probability of collision. Not great, but not terrible either. Station & Dragon have micrometeorite shields (ultra high velocity impact absorption), but EVA suits do not, hence higher risk for spacewalk.”
“@ajtourville @SpaceX Totally insane!”
“@waitbutwhy Max payload of Starship V1 in expendable mode (like the other rockets) is ~200 tons. V3 is expected to be ~200 tons with full reusability and ~400 tons expendable. Length will grow by 20 to 30 meters and thrust to ~10k tons.”
“@chrispavlovski @dbongino @rustyrockets Maybe worth talking at some point”
“@ApoStructura In about 3 years or so, Starship will launch more than once per hour”
“@KenKirtland17 @torybruno @ulalaunch @SpaceX @blueorigin @Erdayastronaut @DJSnM @ThePrimalDino Starship fairing will actually have more height than shown here. Dome will be flatter & more of tip is accessible. Usable volume ~1000 cubic meters.”
“@WholeMarsBlog 11.4.4 goes out end of this week”
