“Not as much as tunnels though”
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.
“They are so underappreciated”
“They will never let you down”
“I love floors”
“@SandyMazza Gary (the snail) is a speed demon. Long way to go before we beat him/her.”
“@TEDTalks Thanks, but I am”
“No longer waiting for Godot. It has begun boring and just completed the first segment of tunnel in LA.”
“Good summary of rocket landing history. There were two successful water landings much earlier, but they didn't survive long. https://t.co/N6kxxQeFby https://x.com/verge/status/879410754511831040”
“@migueldelagza They should on high velocity missions to Geostationary Transfer Orbit”
“Sped up version of today's rocket landing on the Droneship Just Read the Instructions (guess it… https://t.co/0wFgXMgeqZ https://www.instagram.com/p/BVxysOlA04j/”
“@nullpointr More aero effectiveness to create steep spires on windward side at the grid fin intersections”
“@amirmasoudabdol Down the road, they will not even be repainted between launches. Aiming to be able to relaunch same orbital rocket booster in <24 hours.”
“@BenjaminCoop3 Getting closer to fairing recovery and reuse. Had some problems with the steerable parachute. Should have it sorted out by end of year.”
“New titanium grid fins worked even better than expected. Should be capable of an indefinite number of flights with no service.”
“@mjmdavis Still humans”
“@TheCocoaNaut Significantly improves control force”
“Launch at 1:25 delivering 10 satellites for Iridium. Droneship repositioned due to extreme weather. Will be tight. https://t.co/6ZcSG29B74 http://spacex.com/webcast”
“Closeup of the titanium grid fins. Not painted, as they glow red hot during a fast reentry. https://t.co/Ltrq1Prg2m”
“@dnathe4th @DJSnM We used to have a (lame) open loop hydraulic system, but that was upgraded to closed about 2 years ago”
“@CrappyUsername Not only that, it has all the wifis and 3G is coming soon”
“@EcoHeliGuy Rocket was suddenly slammed sideways right before landing. Heavy gust or something malfunctioned onboard. Reviewing telemetry.”
“@zerosixbravo @john_gilleran True, but that's a minor factor for rockets”
“@ClovenLife No, but shielding got fragged every flight. More control authority is for Falcon Heavy, but also enables Falcon 9 to land in heavier winds.”
“@DJSnM They will, but the hydraulic system is closed loop, so no fluid lost. They do need more power & energy, but rocket has plenty of that.”
“@zerosixbravo Slightly heavier than shielded aluminum, but more control authority and can be reused indefinitely with no touch ups”
“Flying with larger & significantly upgraded hypersonic grid fins. Single piece cast & cut titanium. Can take reentry heat with no shielding. https://t.co/SmyCCQRt2F https://x.com/spacex/status/878732650277617664”
“@sajo Sticking to 100”
“@Emerald0013 It's an aluminum honeycomb cartridge, so only a couple of hours to replace”
“Rocket is extra toasty and hit the deck hard (used almost all of the emergency crush core), but otherwise good”
“Falcon 9 will experience its highest ever reentry force and heat in today's launch. Good chance rocket booster doesn't make it back.”
“@shanghai_artist Technically, Ironyman”
“@ExploreSpaceKSC Thanks! Looks cool.”
“@WaywardPlane Damn, I forgot bacon”
“In life, there are no easy choices …”
“Do want irony on social media?”
“Must remember that irony and social media are not friends. Keep forgetting. Dammit.”
“@partialobs @SpaceX Radiation”
“@DPazdan Groan”
“@hayskeys7 But RWD with electric is really good in snow (assuming all weather or winter tires), as traction control is far more precise”
“@hayskeys7 Will extend”
“Over 1000 km should be possible in a 100D with the right tires https://t.co/8czN3dVZE4 https://x.com/electrekco/status/877219197444599809”
“@Painkiller606 Will be full regen cooled all the way out to the 3 meter (10 ft) nozzle diameter. Heat flux is nuts & radiative view factor is low.”
“@dadxseven No plans to change 100 kWh pack tech. You'll never worry about running out of range. Model 3 pack is about cost reduction, not performance.”
“No need to rely on scientists for global warming -- just use a thermometer https://t.co/0PbtAL8uRK https://www.forbes.com/sites/marshallshepherd/2017/06/20/the-science-of-why-its-too-hot-for-some-planes-to-fly-in-the-southwest-u-s/#6a31c3f54ceb”
“@sulka @KarinCAtrades Cool”
“@sulka That's because the accurate articles are boringly obvious, so they get no press attention”
“@sulka First approximation of CO2 is production cost, factoring in energy source, so Model 3 obv less CO2 to produce than $35k gas car by a lot”
“@shashwatbakhshi No plans to change cell form factor for X and S”
“@verge This is crazy, but Max Smart mentions Chaos towards the end. Coincidence?”
“@quiggles There's a plot!?”
