“@teslaownersSV @SpaceX I wish we did”

“@Scobleizer As I mention in that Joe Rogan episode, I don’t think getting stoned is super helpful for productivity and I obviously have no idea how to smoke a joint 😂 Following that episode, I had to get randomly drug-tested several times a year for almost three years for SpaceX to…”

“Thank you on behalf of the people of SpaceX for whom all credit is deserved!”

“SpaceX is tracking to deliver ~1600 tons of payload to orbit this year. Rest of world will deliver ~400 tons, most of which is by China.”

“As a summer intern many years ago, I wrote software for video games at a company called Rocket Science. This was long before SpaceX was even conceived. Didn’t realize until a friend gave me a copy today that they included me in the credits 🥰 https://t.co/adU1J81ESq”

“@WallStreetSilv That was at the SpaceX Texas rocket test site about 4 years ago. We’ve been there since 2002.”

“@EdKrassen My concern was more the outrageous demand that people *must* take the vaccine and multiple boosters to do anything at all. That was messed up. Until the Supreme Court invalidated Biden’s exec order, SpaceX and many other companies would have been forced to fire anyone who…”

“@iamtomnash The Fox anchor is talking utter nonsense. I challenged Putin to a physical fight over Ukraine and SpaceX and provided massive support to Ukraine, as the Ukrainian government has repeatedly acknowledged.”

“@Thavisin @Tesla @SpaceX @Starlink It was an honor to meet. Thailand has a very exciting future!”

“@esherifftv That is unacceptable. It is absurd that SpaceX can build a giant rocket faster than they can shuffle paperwork!”

“@wintonARK Yeah. SpaceX doesn’t even use patents, except on rare occasions to stop trolls.”

“@farzyness Walter spent a lot of time with me in meetings, but much less time walking the factory floor. Tesla and SpaceX factories have a great vibe. We encourage playing music and having some fun. Very important for people to look forward to coming to work! We pay more than the UAW…”

“@jessica_kirsh @SpaceX It’s awesome that people can see Starship so close up”

“Congrats to SpaceX for completing & documented the 57 items required by the FAA for Flight 2 of Starship! Worth noting that 6 of the 63 items refer to later flights. https://t.co/YlPg3ywCZE”

“Much appreciated, Walter. The onus is meaningfully different if I refused to act upon a request from Ukraine vs. made a deliberate change to Starlink to thwart Ukraine. At no point did I or anyone at SpaceX promise coverage over Crimea. Moreover, our terms of service clearly…”

“@FAANews @SpaceX What are the 63 items?”

“@MarioNawfal There was an emergency request from government authorities to activate Starlink all the way to Sevastopol. The obvious intent being to sink most of the Russian fleet at anchor. If I had agreed to their request, then SpaceX would be explicitly complicit in a major act of war and…”

“@MarioNawfal The Starlink regions in question were not activated. SpaceX did not deactivate anything.”

“@astro_greek Many funny details on Raptor. The special metal alloy SpaceX created for the rocket nozzles turns green, so we painted Hulk on the first one.”

“@awilkinson SpaceX (just barely) succeeding required both the knowledge and the capital I gained from a modest success with Zip2 and a more significant success with PayPal”

“@MuskUniversity Based on the Falcon launch plan for next year, SpaceX will deliver ~90% of all Earth payload to orbit. Starship will take that to >99% in future years. These magnitudes are madness to consider, but necessary to make consciousness multiplanetary.”

“SpaceX bringing @NASA astronauts back to Earth tomorrow”

“Great work by the @SpaceX team successfully launching 61 Falcon rocket missions this year! If tomorrow’s mission goes well, we will exceed last year’s flight count. SpaceX has delivered ~80% of all Earth payload mass to orbit in 2023. China is ~10% & rest of world other ~10%.”

“@SpaceX @Starlink Congrats to the @SpaceX team on launch 60 of 2023!”

“@mualphaxi @SpaceX It’s insane”

“@mayemusk @SpaceX @POTUS @CivilRights Exactly. It’s insane.”

“@mualphaxi @SpaceX She is super racist and proud of it”

“@lrocket Exactly. SpaceX was told repeatedly that hiring anyone who was not a permanent resident of the United States would violate international arms trafficking law, which would be a criminal offense. We couldn’t even hire Canadian citizens, despite Canada being part of NORAD! This…”

“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX Wow, 4 years”

“Don’t wanna jinx it, but @SpaceX is tracking to lift 80% of all mass to orbit, China ~10% & rest of world ~10%”

“@RichardHanania This was and continues to be a hard problem. SpaceX is building a new Internet in space.”

“Congrats @SpaceX team!”

“@SciGuySpace SpaceX provided its knowledge of crewed parachute systems to Boeing and we are happy to be helpful in any other ways. Designing parachutes for orbital, crewed spacecraft is much harder than it may seem. Was a major challenge for SpaceX.”

“@WalterIsaacson Accurate. [Technical note: Linux in 1999 was still early days, whereas Windows had a whole video game dev community to draw upon. In later years with SpaceX & Tesla, I obviously went with Linux. Also, Max was unequivocally wrong that the site wouldn’t work with Windows. It…”

“@MicahMaidenberg Countries & companies aim too low. Their lack of ambition is their shortfall. The mission of SpaceX is to make life multiplanetary. Even slightly succeeding in that goal results in crushingly good performance to Earth orbit.”

“@InfographicTony @MarcusHouse @FelixSchlang @considercosmos @GregScott_photo @LunarCaveman @SpaceX @SpacesFuture @TJ_Cooney @LabPadre @Erdayastronaut Three center Raptors of Booster will fire at ~50% thrust during hot staging”

“@mcuban Ok, I will ask Tesla & SpaceX to inquire further”

“@SpaceX Major launchpad upgrades should be complete in about a month, then another month of rocket testing on pad, then flight 2 of Starship”

“@PatrickModin @Erdayastronaut @SpaceX Exactly”

“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX Starship payload is 250 to 300 tons to orbit in expendable mode. Improved thrust & Isp from Raptor will enable ~6000 ton liftoff mass.”

“@FelixSchlang @SpaceX Probably, but not yet”

“@DimaZeniuk @Starlink @SpaceX @SpaceXStarlink Temporary experiment to test price elasticity of demand”

“@StarshipGazer @SpaceX We’re getting great use out of Massey’s gun range!”

“@NASASpaceflight @SpaceX Raptor chamber wall might have the highest heat flux of anything ever made”

“@NASASpaceflight @SpaceX Yeah. To be frank, we did not expect the engine to survive a full duration run at that pressure. It is uncharted territory.”

“@JaneidyEve @SpaceX If we can delete & integrate enough secondary structure (small, fiddly bits), then we can locally protect rest & delete engine heat shields”

“Raptor V3 just achieved 350 bar chamber pressure (269 tons of thrust). Congrats to @SpaceX propulsion team! Starship Super Heavy Booster has 33 Raptors, so total thrust of 8877 tons or 19.5 million pounds. https://t.co/ZlskpCXUmu”

“@DimaZeniuk @Starlink @SpaceX @SpaceXStarlink @kerrikgray @JaneidyEve @Inelonwetrust__ @1stMarsColonist @helloitstanya98 @dvorahfr @captainarve @andst7 Cool”

“@schrep @SpaceX SpaceX doesn’t even bother with patents, except to stop patent trolls”

“@schrep @SpaceX Not really a moat – just a much higher rate of innovation than competitors”
