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.
“@WholeMarsBlog @rocker_261 @SawyerMerritt Training compute for Tesla is relatively small compared to inference compute, as the latter scales linearly with size of fleet. Perhaps the best way to think about it is in terms of power consumption. When the Tesla fleet reaches 100M vehicles, peak power consumption of AI…”
“@kcoleman @Starlink Cool. Yeah, Starlink works from the tarmac to high altitude with the same responsiveness as a ground Internet connection.”
“Median latency for Starlink Internet in the US will get below 20ms”
“Starship is ready to fly https://t.co/3PIb5FhHaR”
“@cb_doge I hope other rocket organizations deliver more mass to orbit, but that doesn’t seem to be happening. We don’t even try to block their progress by filing patents, which almost all technology companies do.”
“@cb_doge Yup. I even suggested to the team that maybe we shouldn’t design rockets after comedy, but now everyone likes it pointy 😂”
“Starlink just achieved a new internal median latency record of 28ms yesterday! Great work by the engineering and operations teams.”
“Starship Flight 4, with many improvements, aiming to launch on Thursday! The main goal of this mission is to get much deeper into the atmosphere during reentry, ideally through max heating.”
“@WholeMarsBlog 💯”
“Great work by the SpaceX Falcon team launching 14 times in a single month!”
“@Rothmus Over time, SpaceX will enable anyone to go to space and travel to the moon and Mars”
“@WholeMarsBlog 😂”
“@Teslaconomics Starship already reached orbital velocity, which is success for all other rockets. Achieving full reusability will be profound not for reasons of valuation, but because it will enable consciousness to extend permanently beyond Earth.”
“@MarioNawfal I’m excited about the future upgrade to Starship that will extend the rocket length and take total thrust to 10,000 tons, which is ~3X Saturn V!”
“@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…”
“@WholeMarsBlog @CalPERS They are doing this for social reasons, at the expense of the state and their constituents”
“@danpiemont Thank you for the thoughtful rebuttal. To the best of my knowledge, none of the rideshare missions have lost money. I do hope that rocket companies focus on reusability. That is the fundamental breakthrough needed for humanity to become a spacefaring civilization. Falcon is…”
“@cb_doge That was my primary residence for 3 years building up Starbase from an empty sandbar to rocket factory and launch site”
“@WholeMarsBlog Exactly”
“@WholeMarsBlog @CalPERS CalPERS broke the deal. Shame on them, they have no honor.”
“Starlink provides Internet connectivity in the air that is often better than being on the ground!”
“@WholeMarsBlog !!”
“@WholeMarsBlog Super shady”
“@WholeMarsBlog Noted”
“@WholeMarsBlog And so is the new board”
“@WholeMarsBlog Yup”
“@buildingMadrid We don’t use patents, except to block patent trolls, so others are free to copy us. SpaceX is building the technology to extend consciousness beyond Earth, so the cost per ton to orbit & beyond must necessarily be low enough to accomplish that goal.”
“@WholeMarsBlog 🤷♂️”
“@DimaZeniuk Starship version 3 ~15m longer and will have about 3 times the thrust of Saturn V”
“@astro_greek Designing the Model S in the SpaceX rocket factory”
“@elon_docs There is a reason it hasn’t been solved, despite countries/companies pouring about a trillion dollars cumulatively into rocket development over 80 years”
“@RidingFarNow @WholeMarsBlog Feels that way sometimes”
“@MarioNawfal Falcon and Dragon are the best in the world at what they do. The SpaceX Starship is alien technology. Nothing like it has ever been attempted, as it is capable of lifting the entire pressurized volume of the International Space Station in a single flight and will do several…”
“@GavinSBaker Exactly. SpaceX is spending significant resources combating Russian jamming efforts. This is a tough problem. They have succeeded in shutting down every communications system, except Starlink.”
“@MarioNawfal SpaceX has no need for additional capital and will actually be buying back shares. We do liquidity rounds for employees and investors every ~6 months.”
“Rocket gymnastics https://t.co/HTZmnXk3XS”
“@WholeMarsBlog Yeah”
“Launching @Starlink in Fiji with @PresidentFiji! https://t.co/mOmf2HNkm9”
“Easy to order online in 2 minutes at https://t.co/Q1VvqV5G0i. No long-term contract required. http://Starlink.com”
“Congratulations to the @SpaceX team on passing 3 million customers in 99 countries! And thanks to you for buying @Starlink!”
“SpaceX might exceed 90% of all Earth payload to orbit later this year. Once Starship is launching at high rate, probably >99%. Has to be or we can’t build a city on Mars or base on moon. We file almost no patents, so nothing stopping competition from copying us.”
“@elon_docs The SpaceX Advanced Materials team has since developed a new metal alloy far better than 301”
“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.”
“@teslaownersSV We plan to move the display rockets closer to the road”
“@WholeMarsBlog I love seeing the burgers being made”
“Starlink now available in 99 countries”
“@MuskUniversity @SpaceX Very tough time”
“Starlink is now available in Fiji! 🇫🇯”
“Honored to launch @Starlink in Indonesia! https://t.co/cAHRxm3jvn”
