“Starship departs for Mars at the end of next year, carrying Optimus. If those landings go well, then human landings may start as soon as 2029, although 2031 is more likely. [@Teslaconomics] Happy 23rd Anniversary to @SpaceX! Founded on March 14, 2002, and still pushing the limits of what’s possible, here’s to the next chapter of making life multi-planetary!”

“😂 [@iam_smx] Tesla Optimus robots, after learning that Elon Musk will power them with super-advanced Grok AI and send them to Mars on the world’s most powerful rocket, Starship.”
“😢 [@Tesla_Optimus] @WholeMarsBlog It’s always “When Optimus”, never “How is Optimus”)”
“@WholeMarsBlog 😂 Once Tesla fully solves autonomy and has Optimus in volume production, anyone still holding a short position will be obliterated. Even Gates.”
“@TeslaAIBot @SpaceX @Tesla Thanks Optimus :)”
“@WholeMarsBlog Those are the biggest factors. ~80% of Tesla’s value will be Optimus.”
“RT @teslaownersSV: Optimus will help make Mars habitable for humans. Image brought to life by Grok Imagine https://t.co/4Z0YH5jKvu”
“@TomerHacohen @Tesla_Optimus @GoingBallistic5 @DrKnowItAll16 @LimitingThe @WholeMarsBlog I meant to say 50 actuators (25 in each forearm and hand)”
“@WhatNarrative @Tesla_Optimus @WholeMarsBlog 😂”
“Starship will hopefully depart for Mars at the end of next year with Optimus explorer robots! [@MAstronomers] This is Mars! 140 million miles away from us!”
“A future where we are out there among the planets and the stars is so inspiring! [@dvorahfr] Optimus will prepare for the arrival of humans on Mars. Then the first humans to arrive on Mars, the pioneers, will have a difficult task. It will take men and women with an iron will and unwavering faith in the future. But the goal is so beautiful!”
“@AJamesMcCarthy @WholeMarsBlog Correct. Truly shameful of the media to dredge up an injury from two years ago due to a simple industrial Kuka robot arm (found in all factories) and imply that it is due to Optimus now.”
“@WholeMarsBlog The hands of Optimus”
“@abhiyogi Slight chance of Starship flight to Mars crewed by Optimus in Nov/Dec next year. A lot needs to go right for that. More likely, first flight without humans in ~3.5 years, next flight ~5.5 years with humans. Mars city self-sustaining in 20 to 30 years.”
“@WholeMarsBlog Neuralink plus Optimus has potential for incredible artificial limbs”
“RT @WholeMarsBlog: They have all the Optimus prototypes on display https://t.co/pC24Ahw6wf”
“@chazman @Tesla @Starlink @cybertruck Yes, Cybertruck FSD releases with 12.5, which also finally merges the city and highway code.”
“The mayor of LA prioritizes politics over helping people … [@thatsKAIZEN] Los Angeles resident @JereSimpson asked Elon to help LA firefighters, who had lost internet, restore connectivity. In response, Elon sent Tesla Cybertrucks loaded with Starlinks. Someone from LA Mayor Karen Bass’ office heard about this, and called Jere asking for help too.… )”
“Tesla Cybertruck (pressurized edition) will be official truck of Mars”
“@WholeMarsBlog We must focus on FSD for the other 99% of the fleet. Cybertruck FSD is a few months away.”
“RT @Teslaconomics: My Cybertruck is driving me to my campsite, Starlink is beaming down fast internet from space, all while my family is wa…”
“RT @teslaownersSV: My Cybertruck is even more bad ass at night. Inspired by Starship. https://t.co/vymIbTQtAV”
“@niccruzpatane @cybertruck @sparksmotors @Tesla @WholeMarsBlog @tesla_na Once in a while, a truly special product comes along”
“@SERobinsonJr @Tesla @tesla_na @cybertruck @WholeMarsBlog 💪”
“Apologies to those expecting Cybertruck deliveries in California over the next few days. We need to use those trucks as mobile base stations to provide power to Starlink Internet terminals in areas of LA without connectivity. A new truck will be delivered end of week.”
“We are going to position Cybertrucks with Starlinks and free WiFi in a grid pattern in the areas that most need it in the greater LA/Malibu area”
“🛰️ [@tetsuoai] people keep asking what the future looks like and it's a cybertruck towing an airstream with a starlink dish on top parked somewhere with no cell service”
“Cybertruck unveil on Nov 21 in LA near SpaceX rocket factory”
“Worth mentioning that switching to ultra hard, cold-rolled stainless steel for Starship is what led me to make Cybertruck out of it too”
“@ZainS180 @VikingRocket @WholeMarsBlog Cybertruck will reach far into a post-apocalyptic future & bring that technology to now”
“@flcnhvy Starship steel decision came first. We were going to use titanium skins for Cybertruck, but cold-rolled 30X stainless is much stronger.”
“@SawyerMerritt Cybertrucks get preferential parking, as they look much more futuristic than normal cars and are poetically aligned with the stainless steel of Starship”
“RT @JonErlichman: Things Elon Musk launched or unveiled in less than 10 years: Boring Co. Crew Dragon Cybercab Cybertruck DOGE Falcon Hea…”
“@WholeMarsBlog About 15 Cybertrucks in service had an issue where the door striker loosened in the field, due to insufficient torque after door fit. This is takes 5 mins to fix in service and has been addressed in production.”
“@ZainS180 @VikingRocket @WholeMarsBlog Cybertruck is intentionally an insane technology bandwagon”
“@WholeMarsBlog @cybertruck Just did, so I guess …”
“True [@WholeMarsBlog] The follow up act to the Tesla Model Y”
“@aelluswamy @cybertruck @WholeMarsBlog 😂”
“@ByeonChansoo @live_munro @teardowntitan @SpaceX @boringcompany @cybertruck Sandy is cool”
“@pmarca Cybertruck and Starlink are something special, but maybe they don’t count as Big Tech”
“RT @cb_doge: Cybertruck escapes the Dragon. 🔥 Made using @Grok Imagine. https://t.co/cJjfVhd6oA”
“RT @WholeMarsBlog: I strongly recommend getting a Cybertruck. What an unbelievable product”
“@farbood @cybertruck @Starlink Cool”
“Try out self-driving in a Tesla. It will greatly improve your quality of life and may save your life. [@Scobleizer] I was on @wholemars space this afternoon while my Model 3 drove me for a couple of hours to drop off my taxes. And found myself quite emotional listening to others' stories about theirs. I'll never sell it. It is the best thing I've ever spent money on beyond marriage and”
“@TeslaOwnersEBay @Kristennetten @RationalEtienne @EvaFoxU @JohnnaCrider1 @TeslaChillMode @CodingMark @Model3Owners @WholeMarsBlog @AustinTeslaClub I’m trying to set a good example! Population collapse is a much bigger problem than people realize and that’s just for Earth. Mars has a great need for people, seeing as population is currently zero. Humans are the custodians of other life on Earth. Let us bring life to Mars!”
“@jonastsla @jamesdouma @heydave7 @karpathy @WholeMarsBlog Our video clips are usually shorter than 30 seconds, but the overall point made by James is accurate. Tesla is probably labeling more images per week than any other project ever done and our rate of labeling is increasing rapidly.”
“@WholeMarsBlog This should be clear to anyone who has experienced the FSD beta evolution. Self-driving requires solving a major part of real-world AI, so it’s an insanely hard problem, but Tesla is getting it done. AI Day will be great.”
“@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.”
“@teslaownersSV @iamyesyouareno @MarioNawfal The specific area I’m talking about is engineering, which is needed to build the best technology. Encouraging kids to learn how things work is the key. Take apart car engines, toasters, microwave ovens, speakers, etc. Make model airplanes, rockets, cars. As you’re doing this…”
