“@teslaownersSV The Starship V4 ship will have 3 more vacuum engines, making the total stack engine count 42, as foretold in the prophecy”
“@Teslarati The source info is incorrect. Starship & Raptor development is being done out of our HQ in Hawthorne, CA. We are building the Starship prototypes locally at our launch site in Texas, as their size makes them very difficult to transport.”
“@_opencv_ It’s all part of broader vision/strategy 😂 Starship 10 is launching on Sunday. Grok 5 begins training next month. Tesla Autopilot V14 also next month. Long-term strategy is compelling.”
“@Teslarati @13ericralph31 @StarshipGazer As backdrops go, this is a good one”
“@TheTeslaBull @BLKMDL3 @S3XYstarship @IWill_Travel @AOC Based on past experience, about 12 to 18 months. Companies that are inherently negative cash flow (ie value destroyers) need to die, so that they stop consuming resources.”
“@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 @teslaownersSV: Starship will make us multi planetary https://t.co/S9bgLgRsh5”
“RT @teslaownersSV: The starship is the largest flying object ever made, and it was able to be caught by chopsticks https://t.co/iMkJAWGsOz”
“@teslaownersSV Starship V4 will have 42 engines when 3 more Raptors are added to a significantly longer ship. That will fly in 2027. Starship V3 is a massive upgrade from the current V2 and should be through production and testing by end of year, with heavy flight activity next year.”
“RT @teslaownersSV: The scale of the Starship is insane and 🤯🤯🤯 https://t.co/6k9Ky0ZPMZ”
“@TeslaHype @GailAlfarATX Starship is intended to carry a lot of people on tens of thousands of flights, so needs to be extremely reliable over time. It will be.”
“@teslaownersSV Starship probably grows by >20% long-term”
“RT @teslaownersSV: Starship will make us multi planetary https://t.co/lFxQuHLWjV”
“@Teslarati Wouldn’t read too much into this. Likely to be fewer F9/FH flights, but possibly an order of magnitude more than these numbers in Starship flights.”

“@teslaownersSV Starship will get taller. It’s a little short rn.”
“RT @DimaZeniuk: All of these are happening soon: – X to launch X Money and X Chat – Unsupervised FSD in Austin, Texas – Starship Flight 9…”

“@S3XYstarship @IWill_Travel @AOC This would be a super bad idea, since stocks can swing wildly from one day to the next, eg Snapchat dropping 43%. Tesla is ~40% below ATH! However, eliminating estate tax dodges like GRATs would be good, since probability of kids being effective stewards of capital is lower.”

“@Teslarati ~1750K is peak heating expected on about 20% of Starship for LEO entry, ~1600K on 20%. Rest drops below 1450K, so no heat shield needed. Radiative cooling at T^4 takes care of 60% of the ship. Another reason for steel.”
“13 years ago [@KanekoaTheGreat] Elon Musk talks to Jon Stewart about Paypal, Tesla, and SpaceX in 2012. "When I was in college, there were three areas I thought would most affect the future of humanity: the internet, sustainable energy, & space exploration, particularly making life multiplanetary." @elonmusk”

“🥧 [@Teslaconomics] Happy 24th Birthday @SpaceX! 🚀 Exactly 24 years ago today - March 14, 2002 - Elon founded SpaceX. It only makes sense to now IPO the world’s most innovative company so any human can own a piece of this multiplanetary future! Ad Astra!”
“@teslaownersSV Still hard to believe that Starship is real”

“Indeed, it was *because* I was not from the aerospace industry that SpaceX made such radical breakthroughs. Same for Tesla. Those in the industry would have if they could have. [@ray4tesla] In this 2015 interview, the host — a Tsinghua University professor — expressed genuine curiosity about how Elon Musk was able to found SpaceX without prior experience and knowledge in aerospace, especially given that rocket science is one of the most demanding hard sciences — and”
“I have so much respect for the associates doing an honest day’s work at Tesla or SpaceX building & servicing cars, rockets, Starlinks, batteries, solar & many other things”
“Best rocket engine ever: Full-flow, staged combustion 330 bar main chamber pressure Highest T/W Inexpensive to build [@teslaownersSV] SpaceX’s Raptor 3 engine is sublime engineering • No basic heat shield needed → saves mass and dramatically boosts reliability • Small fuel leaks aren’t dangerous — they simply burn off safely in the open plasma • Major improvements in payload capacity, efficiency, and… https://x.com/i/web/status/2014586403200610626”
“SpaceX option package for new Tesla Roadster will include ~10 small rocket thrusters arranged seamlessly around car. These rocket engines dramatically improve acceleration, top speed, braking & cornering. Maybe they will even allow a Tesla to fly …”
“Cybertruck unveil on Nov 21 in LA near SpaceX rocket factory”
“@teslaownersSV The Iron Man statue was given to SpaceX because part of Iron Man 2 was filmed in the rocket factory”
“@ProTheDoge Lots of people I talked to on the production lines at Tesla or building rockets at SpaceX own Doge. They aren’t financial experts or Silicon Valley technologists. That’s why I decided to support Doge – it felt like the people’s crypto.”
“@TheZvi Because everyone’s job is safety. It’s not some fake department with no power to assuage the concerns of outsiders. Tesla has no safety team and is the safest car. SpaceX has no safety team and has the safest rocket. Dragon is what NASA trusts most to fly astronauts.”
“@leastImAlive @PPathole Yeah, sold my houses, except for 1 in Bay Area that’s rented out for events. Working on sustainable energy for Earth with Tesla & protecting future of consciousness by making life multiplanetary with SpaceX. Also, AI risk mitigation with Neuralink & fixing traffic with Boring.”
