“Just received this note from a SpaceX engineer helping on the ground in North Carolina. @FEMA is not merely failing to adequately help people in trouble, but is actively blocking citizens who try to help! “Hey Elon, update here on site of Asheville, NC. We have powered up two…”
“@ajtourville @Starlink @SpaceX Cool”
“Had the FCC not illegally revoked the SpaceX Starlink award, it would probably have saved lives in North Carolina. Lawfare costs lives.”
“@ID_AA_Carmack Best case 2028, but probably 2030. If SpaceX is not smothered by regulations, then the Starship launch rate will far exceed the Falcon launch rate, as Starship fully reusable, while Falcon is only mostly reusable. Starship should be doing >1000 Earth orbit flights per year by…”
“@CollinRugg Happy that SpaceX could help”
“@ajtourville @SpaceX @Starlink Absolutely”
“Since the Hurricane Helene disaster, SpaceX has sent as many Starlink terminals as possible to help areas in need. Earlier today, @realDonaldTrump alerted me to additional people who need Starlink Internet in North Carolina. We are sending them terminals right away.”
“@Cmdr_Hadfield @SpaceX @NASA @sen It’s real, but looks like cgi”
“SpaceX Dragon launching @NASA astronauts to the @Space_Station! https://t.co/XL5fWrATc3 https://x.com/i/broadcasts/1rmGPoDaPvZKN”
“@dpoddolphinpro @SpaceX @NASA Dragon was always designed to land propulsively, but I didn’t want to risk it as the primary method”
“@SawyerMerritt @Starlink @Gwynne_Shotwell SpaceX will be the largest PCB manufacturer in the Americas within a few months (low bar tbh)”
“@Teslaconomics @SpaceX Yes”
“@RepKiley @SpaceX Yes”
“@KanekoaTheGreat If the rest of the year goes well, SpaceX will launch close to 90% of all mass to orbit. China will be ~6% and rest of world ~4%.”
“Competitors receive vastly more subsidies than SpaceX or Tesla. The success of SpaceX/Tesla is in spite of competitor subsidies! Look at how much was given away for a North American Supercharger network to compete against Tesla and it still failed. Or the massive subsidies…”
“@ashleevance @rookisaacman @SpaceX 😂”
“SpaceX plans to launch about five uncrewed Starships to Mars in two years. If those all land safely, then crewed missions are possible in four years. If we encounter challenges, then the crewed missions will be postponed another two years. It is only possible to travel from…”
“The preservation of life and consciousness by being on multiple planets and the expansion of consciousness to the stars are the goals of @SpaceX”
“@peterrhague @SpaceX Absolutely”
“@vkhosla Do some research before you display your utter ignorance. SpaceX gets no subsidies and received half as much as Boeing for astronaut transport, but did 100% of the work. As for Tesla, take a minute to read our public filings and you will see that EV incentives represent a…”
“@SawyerMerritt @SpaceX Appreciated”
“@ajtourville @SpaceX The only reason any medium to heavy class rocket organizations still exist is due to government protection”
“SpaceX letter to Congress. The @FAANews leadership spends their resources attacking @SpaceX for petty matters that have nothing to do with safety, while neglecting real safety issues at Boeing. This is deeply wrong and puts human lives at risk. NASA deemed the Boeing capsule…”
“@ThierryBreton In all seriousness, SpaceX hopes to offer travel to Mars to anyone who wants to go, bearing in mind that it will be like a long sea voyage in centuries past – dangerous and uncomfortable, but great adventure! Becoming multiplanetary ensures the long-term survival of life.”
“@SciGuySpace If the rest of the year goes well, SpaceX will deliver ~90% of all Earth’s payload to orbit. China will do ~6%, rest of the world combined ~4%.”
“@SawyerMerritt @SpaceX Cool”
“@MarioNawfal Amazingly, no Starliner fines for Boeing! The FAA space division is harassing SpaceX about nonsense that doesn’t affect safety while giving a free pass to Boeing even after NASA concluded that their spacecraft was not safe enough to bring back the astronauts. There need to be…”
“NASA puts their faith in @SpaceX for all astronaut transport to and from the @Space_Station, but somehow @FAANews leadership thinks they know better …”
“@ajtourville @SpaceX SpaceX will be filing suit against the FAA for regulatory overreach”
“@GregWAutry @rookisaacman @SpaceX Hubble is cool, but there needs to be a new visible spectrum space telescope with far larger aperture”
“@astro_anil @PolarisProgram @annawmenon @SpaceX Cute 🥰”
“@PolarisProgram @SpaceX @Starlink @Gillis_SarahE @StJude @ElSistemaUSA @rookisaacman @KiddPoteet @annawmenon Beautiful”
“@WallStreetSilv Moreover, SpaceX could do it for far less if there weren’t irrational requirements attached, like requiring that we also provide a phone with 911 capability even though everyone already has a phone”
“@TeslaBoomerMama Scientific American has become a social activist magazine and destroyed its credibility. My companies have succeeded *despite* the government support playing field being tilted heavily to competitors. Boeing received twice as much as SpaceX for astronaut transport, yet has not…”
“@FoxNews @SpaceX @cvpayne @OutnumberedFNC Yes”
“Congratulations @SpaceX Dragon team, @rookisaacman and the crew of @PolarisProgram!”
“Congratulations SpaceX team and the @PolarisProgram crew!!”
“@DimaZeniuk Non-SpaceX satellites in orbit also increased, but at a much slower pace. Starlink is just a different level of technology.”
“@AdrianDittmann Well, then I think Neil will be pleasantly surprised by what SpaceX does in the future”
“SpaceX created the first fully reusable rocket stage and, much more importantly, made the reuse economically viable. Making life multiplanetary is fundamentally a cost per ton to Mars problem. It currently costs about a billion dollars per ton of useful payload to the surface…”
“SpaceX is a separate company and they did even claim that SpaceX/Starlink broke any laws. Purely capricious.”
“Unless the Brazilian government returns the illegally seized property of 𝕏 and SpaceX, we will seek reciprocal seizure of government assets too. Hope Lula enjoys flying commercial.”
“@ajtourville @Starlink How exactly does SpaceX not have the technical or financial ability to do something that it is already doing? They’re just flat-out lying.”
“Great work by the SpaceX team”
“@FuturistArtDeco @SpaceX You’re welcome”
“Many remote schools and hospitals depend on SpaceX’s Starlink! SpaceX will provide Internet service to users in Brazil for free until this matter is resolved, as we cannot receive payment, but don’t want to cut anyone off.”
“SpaceX and X are two completely different companies with different shareholders. I own about 40% of SpaceX, so this absolutely illegal action by the dictator @alexandre improperly punishes other shareholders and the people of Brazil.”
“@ajtourville @Starlink After thinking it through, SpaceX Starlink will provide emergency services access for mobile phones for people in distress for free. This applies worldwide, subject to approval by country governments. Can’t have a situation where someone dies because they forgot or were unable…”
“SpaceX is doing a major launch every ~3 days now. Next year, a launch every ~2 days. We will probably deliver close to 90% of payload mass to Earth orbit and beyond this year. Great work by a great team!”
