“@Erdayastronaut Only a few weeks away. All Raptor 2 engines needed for first orbital flight are complete & being installed.”
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.
“@stats_feed @engineers_feed Few seem to realize that China is leading the world in renewable energy generation and electric vehicles. Whatever you may think of China, this is simply a fact.”
“@JacobB1290H Will discuss this and other improvements with Tesla audio engineering. The new Model S and X sound system is incredible.”
“If Twitter acquisition completes, company will be super focused on hardcore software engineering, design, infosec & server hardware https://t.co/m2HseK0TXl https://fortune.com/2022/05/05/elon-musk-twitter-job-interest/”
“@engineers_feed Sphincter valve?”
“Raptor 2 rocket engines at Starbase, each producing over half a million pounds (230 tons) of force https://t.co/9ixxXXceG3”
“@Teslarati @ResidentSponge If you’ve engineered or manufactured smart watches or phones, please join Neuralink! Your skills are directly applicable.”
“@Teslarati @ResidentSponge It is an electronics/mechanical/software engineering problem for the Neuralink device that is similar in complexity level to smart watches (which are not easy!), plus the surgical robot, which is comparable to state-of-the art CNC machines. No need for AI/ NN/ML quite yet.”
“@WholeMarsBlog FSD is best in Bay Area, given engineering mostly lives there, but rest of country will soon be at that level”
“@PPathole @teslaownersSV @BillyM2k @engineers_feed Something like that”
“@teslaownersSV @BillyM2k @engineers_feed Yes”
“@BillyM2k @engineers_feed So many “verified” scam crypto bots!”
“@engineers_feed I will verify you. The current process for verification is like if Kafka had a Magic 8-Ball!”
“@SamTwits My true moral error was creating Tesla & SpaceX at same time, while avoiding general mgmt chores at Tesla (focusing only on product & engineering). Tried to have my cake & eat it too, which failed.”
“@BillyM2k @nichegamer @slashdot Does it accurately portray software engineers?”
“@lrocket @TonyeFreeman Thanks for teaching me so much about rocket engines!”
“@Erdayastronaut @Tesla Raptor pump power is over 100MW per engine & 33 engines, means over 3GW. Not even remotely possible for electric motors & batteries to compete.”
“@Kristennetten @PPathole @engineers_feed I look kinda dumb in that pic haha”
“@PPathole @engineers_feed And Shakespeare had no surviving descendants”
“@engineers_feed He never had even one kid 😞”
“@thesheetztweetz @QuiltyAnalytics First Starship orbital flight will be with Raptor 2 engines, as they are much more capable & reliable. 230 ton or ~500k lb thrust at sea level. We’ll have 39 flightworthy engines built by next month, then another month to integrate, so hopefully May for orbital flight test.”
“@engineers_feed 😉”
“@engineers_feed Hardcore”
“Even some of the best AI software engineers in the world don’t realize how advanced Tesla AI has become”
“@engineers_feed …”
“@PPathole @SpaceX Moving to 33 engines on next booster”
“@engineers_feed All these different standards for electricity are a tax on humanity”
“@engineers_feed 💯”
“@WholeMarsBlog Tesla has great respect for software engineering, they do not”
“@SpaceX 16 story tall rocket, traveling several times faster than a bullet, backflips & fires engines to return to launch site”
“@WholeMarsBlog Now that the big automotive advertisers are making EVs, you will see far fewer articles about EVs catching on fire. It is not surprising that internal combustion engine cars have a tendency to combust externally too.”
“Twitter is spending engineering resources on this bs while crypto scammers are throwing a spambot block party in every thread!?”
“@blueskykites @Grimezsz @WholeMarsBlog @SpaceXMR @musky_meme @CovelloMassimo @SpaceX @Kristennetten @EliBurton_ @Erdayastronaut @28delayslater @TeslaAndDoge @bevedoni @TeslaHype @OwenSparks_ @RationalEtienne It’s true – I do think a lot about rocket engine chamber pressure ahaha”
“@engineers_feed He was truly exceptional”
“@engineers_feed 👍”
“@engineers_feed Earth should be called Water”
“@GailAlfarATX @SawyerMerritt Wow, working on this problem has soaked up a lot of my time & brain cycles over the past ~7 years! This and Starship engines are currently the two hardest problems.”
“@risermaker @engineers_feed ~700nm to ~400nm”
“@SirineAti @engineers_feed FAA approval is the schedule driver. Their latest update says end of February.”
“@engineers_feed The resolution of the universe is not smaller than Planck length https://t.co/hoyZR4d0pP https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck_length”
“@stats_feed @engineers_feed Useful mass to orbit is what matters”
“@NASASpaceflight Yup. Next booster will have 33 Raptor 2 engines, with 13 steering. Ship is being upgraded to 9 engines (3 sea-level gimbaling, 6 vacuum fixed) with increased propellant load.”
“Each Raptor 1 engine above produces 185 metric tons of force. Raptor 2 just started production & will do 230+ tons or over half a million pounds of force.”
“@PPathole @engineers_feed Literally”
“@PPathole @engineers_feed martians911”
“@engineers_feed 🤣”
“@engineers_feed Um … yes”
“@Rainmaker1973 Amazing engine!”
“@engineers_feed Judith Cohen (Jack Black’s mother) also did important work on Apollo https://t.co/JbOrEZ8LlW https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judith_Love_Cohen”
“@jessica_kirsh @SpaceX Booster production is currently ahead of engine production”
