“Perhaps an interesting milestone: @SpaceX commercial revenue from space will exceed the entire budget of @NASA next year. SpaceX revenue this year will be ~$15.5B, of which NASA is ~$1.1B.”
“SpaceX is Caesar’s XIII Legion level good [@DeepBlueCrypto] "Somebody I know went to work for SpaceX and said, 'It's like being dropped into a zone of shocking competence.' The best engineers in the world want to work for Elon Musk because he's the one CEO who's able to work with them as a peer."”

“Congrats to @SpaceX team!”
“Congratulations SpaceX team for all that you have accomplished!”
“@TheChiefNerd @rustyrockets @billmaher @joerogan Russell Brand is 🔥🔥”
“Competitors receive vastly more subsidies than SpaceX or Tesla. The success of SpaceX/Tesla is in spite of competitor subsidies! Look at how much was given away for a North American Supercharger network to compete against Tesla and it still failed. Or the massive subsidies…”
“@Independent With so many mainstream media companies saying @rustyrockets is crazy/dangerous, I watched some of his videos. Ironically, he seemed more balanced & insightful than those condemning him! The groupthink among major media companies is more troubling. There should be more dissent.”
“@cb_doge @Tesla @mayemusk @SpaceX Truth is stranger than fiction”
“@balinares This is false. Anyone who can be in office, should be. However, if not logistically possible or they have essential personal matters, then staying home is fine. Working remotely is also ok if their manager vouches for excellence. Same policy as Tesla & SpaceX.”
“We need multiple Fish licenses to launch a rocket (actually)!”
“Companies are flooding out of Delaware, because the activist chief judge of the Delaware court has no respect for shareholder rights [@MarioNawfal] 🚨BILL ACKMAN MOVES HIS FIRM FROM DELAWARE TO NEVADA Ackman said top law firms are now recommending Nevada and Texas over Delaware as incorporation hubs. This shift follows a trend set by Elon, who recently moved Tesla, SpaceX, and Neuralink’s incorporation out of Delaware.… )”
“@ShitpostRock Admittedly, I was at first dumb enough to think he actually meant hanging out with UN diplomats 🤣🤣 However, even after he clarified that he meant a party with young women “under age 25”, I still chose working on rockets and cars.”
“This is what it looks like to be in polar orbit around Earth, going around the world every ~90 minutes [@SpaceX] Watch the extended, ~4-hour cut with additional views from the Dragon spacecraft flying over Earth’s polar regions during the Fram2 mission”

“Yes [@JohnLeFevre] We have the White House, Senate, and House. It's not rocket science. All we are asking for is legislation that aligns with what we voted for. And it starts with a budget that doesn't grow the deficit.”
“Check out the new SpaceX EVA spacesuits. These will allow astronauts to do spacewalks.”

“So few understand the implications, even when stated as clearly as below [@luismbat] Rocket reusability isn’t just an optimization - it’s a phase transition. When you throw rockets away, you’re limited by factory throughput (~16 rockets/year). Reuse them, and you enter a different regime of launch volume, economics, and ambition.”
