“@SpceEnthusiast @tjmurphy_mit @thesheetztweetz @ExploreMars @SpaceX @TheeSpaceDude Over time, outer 20 will have ~300 tons of thrust & inner 8 ~210, so roughly 7500 tons total at sea level or 1.5 T/W for booster+ship”

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.
“@SpceEnthusiast @tjmurphy_mit @thesheetztweetz @ExploreMars @SpaceX @TheeSpaceDude Yeah”
“@Alert_Alarms Just go through resonant modes fast. It’s when you hang out there that problems arise.”

“@Nigel_Lockyer @Penn @Fermilab If you ever want to build a long accelerator tunnel, straight or circular, I know some people …”
“@VitalVegas Cool”
“@Nigel_Lockyer @Penn @Fermilab Physics is the law, everything else is a recommendation”
“@SamTalksTesla @Teslarati If some company has solved a useful thing that we can just buy, that would be great! It’s so much work to create our own tech. We develop new tech, because we have to, not because we want to.”
“@Teslarati Tesla Germany designed & built the vaccine RNA printers for CureVac, but, subject to some CureVac IP, they could be made for other companies too”
“@engineers_feed Technically, James Watt measured a pony, added 50% & rounded up haha https://t.co/vnkO0MTrUC https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horsepower”

“@GerberKawasaki Wow, I super loved astronomy (but took it at Queens, not Penn)! Definitely one of my favorite classes. Senior year quantum mechanics at Penn was the hardest class I ever took. That stuff will mess with your mind.”
“@teslaownersSV @justpaulinelol Yeah, he sent it to me through a mutual physics prof friend at Caltech/CERN. Very basic stuff. https://t.co/CI2DZEGjcB”
“@justpaulinelol It’s too embarrassing”
“Just learned that my physics prof from Penn is head of Fermilab & still has some of my old homework ☺️”
“@ruskin147 It is unfortunately common for many in academia to overweight the value of ideas & underweight bringing them to fruition. For example, the idea of going to the moon is trivial, but going to the moon is hard.”
“@l_vaux @kulpability @tlowdon @EthicalSkeptic People are extremely unlikely to die of Covid/sars-cov2 alone. If you have multiple pre-existing health conditions & a weak immune system, then you have significant mortality risk from many diseases (not just Covid/sars-cov2) that would otherwise have minor effect.”
“@PPathole @kulpability @tlowdon @EthicalSkeptic That & Giga Berlin are why I’m headed to Germany this week. Conversations with Harvard epidemiology confirmed that a high-speed RNA printer has potential be helpful for vaccines & cures in many areas.”
“@tlowdon @EthicalSkeptic Antibody half-life for cov2 is very short. In a study that SpaceX did working with Harvard epidemiology, it appears to be as low as 2 or 3 weeks. Nonetheless, reinfection rates are very low & symptoms are minor, perhaps due to memory T cells https://t.co/z9WlvIjoTw https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_T_cell”
“@PPathole @tlowdon @EthicalSkeptic Yeah”
“@kulpability @tlowdon @EthicalSkeptic One person at Tesla (out of 60,000) was hospitalized in serious condition (he caught cov2 at home, not work), no deaths. I called his wife & Hayward hospital to make sure he was getting the right treatment, but which he was.”
“@tlowdon @EthicalSkeptic Some of the tests we initially tried at Tesla were ~50% false positive, including some from major medical device companies. Too many testing methods were approved too quickly. Wouldn’t blame the FDA, though. Public was demanding fast test approval.”
“@WholeMarsBlog @MarcusHouseGame @Neopork85 @SpaceX @Erdayastronaut @SpaceToday1 @ElonsWorld @FelixSchlang @ChrisG_NSF @DJSnM Not yet”
“@MarcusHouseGame @Neopork85 @SpaceX @Erdayastronaut @SpaceToday1 @ElonsWorld @FelixSchlang @ChrisG_NSF @DJSnM Yes. This is the hardest part of the booster design.”
“@ICannot_Enough People read too much into this level of detail. It’s not useful for predicting the future, nor can we ourselves accurately predict what issues we will encounter on a short-term, fine-grained level.”
“@ICannot_Enough Critical feedback is always appreciated btw”
“@biogirl09 @JaneidyEve @Tesmanian_com @SpaceX We can’t have a blanket pass, but maybe for some events”
“@flcnhvy @PPathole @ID_AA_Carmack Later versions of a larger device would have that potential”
“@EvaFoxU @waitbutwhy Yup”
“@PPathole @ID_AA_Carmack Actually C, although the syntax could be improved esthetically”
“@ID_AA_Carmack I like C, because it avoids class warfare”
“@PPathole @IEEESpectrum @neuralink A nightcap would probably work best”
“@IEEESpectrum @neuralink Pretty much”
“@Tesmanian_com Good summary”

“@flcnhvy Giant gap between experimental medical device for use only in patients with extreme medical problems & widespread consumer use. This is way harder than making a small number of prototypes.”
“@tobyliiiiiiiiii @Erdayastronaut @flcnhvy @DJSnM Testing with shorter RVac skirt went well. Full length skirt test coming soon.”
“Neuralink product demo in 3 hours. Webcast at https://t.co/Y9wREd78oj. http://neuralink.com”
“@Erdayastronaut @flcnhvy @DJSnM Only need 2 engines”
“@AstroJordy @flcnhvy @DJSnM Boring Co tunnel in Vegas is only a few months from being operational”
“@flcnhvy @DJSnM Neuralink this month & Tesla next month, SpaceX probably October. We will have made a lot of progress by then. Might have a prototype booster hop done by then.”
“@zeitmas @DJSnM Soon”
