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.
“@cb_doge Could make them faster, but engine production is not the limiting factor. I’m very excited about the next-gen Raptor engine that is robust enough not to require a heat shield. Will also have more thrust, higher Isp and many other improvements.”
“@smmmmss2 SpaceX engineering, manufacturing & launch teams did amazing work”
“Just inspected the Starship launch pad and it is in great condition! No refurbishment needed to the water-cooled steel plate for next launch. Congrats to @Spacex team & contractors for engineering & building such a robust system so rapidly! https://t.co/py5m1uhtEi”
“@TrungTPhan Just updating the engines would cut fuel use in half”
“@cb_doge Now there are 13 inner engines”
“@petergyang What has actually happened is that you can no longer trust elite colleges and have to test people independently for engineering ability”
“@BellikOzan The reason so many great engineers work with me is because I understand and appreciate their work”
“@ylecun It’s amazing how many software engineers were infected by the Covid mind virus – they should be smarter than that. That said, synthetic mRNA has great potential outside of pointless vaccines.”
“Tesla audio engineering”
“@engineers_feed 🤣”
“@cb_doge @engineers_feed !”
“@PalmerLuckey Have you tried? Go to max altitude and then do a max thrust vertical dive. You will find out find out fast if the engine is the limiting factor lol.”
“Interstage extension for hot gas venting added to enable Starship to turn on its engines while booster engines still firing!”
“@EvaFoxU @lindayaX I’m working on engineering, design & server operations, which is what I like to do”
“Great product engineering & design sessions today with the 𝕏 team! Future is looking bright.”
“@cb_doge Physics and engineering could taught so much better than they are. A narrative history of how and why they were developed is captivating.”
“@Scobleizer Vehicle control is the final piece of the Tesla FSD AI puzzle. That will drop >300k lines of C++ control code by ~2 orders of magnitude. It is training as I write this. Our progress is currently training compute constrained, not engineer constrained.”
“@tszzl It is hard to move the needle with physics these days. We need order of magnitude+ more powerful/sensitive hadron colliders for small stuff & space telescopes for big stuff. Civilization alternates between being science-limited (rare) & engineering-limited (frequent).”
“@engineers_feed Stinky”
“@engineers_feed Great design”
“@Austen He described himself as an engineer first”
“@icreatelife We will look back upon combustion engine cars with the same quaint disregard that we currently possess regarding steam engines”
“@SawyerMerritt Lot of good memories of that car. It is such exquisite engineering & design! After Zip2, I had a choice of either a house in Palo Alto or a condo plus a McLaren F1. Took me about a nanosecond to decide.”
“@CSI_Starbase Inner engine gimbal angle is limited in some directions, due to impacting outer engine nozzle, but probably ok”
“3 more engines for the meaning of life https://t.co/nt7T2TPt05”
“@karpathy “Prompt engineering” is natural language programming”
“@teslaownersSV Now 13 engines”
“@Jason They claim to have a “wall” between news & advertising, but reporters know full well who butters their bread. For example, there were nonstop bogus articles about electric cars on fire, even though they’re 500% to 1000% less likely to burn than combustion engine cars. As soon…”
“@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”
“@ICannot_Enough @engineers_feed Yeah, it’s insane! Roughly 70% of Earth is ocean and most of the ocean has zero ships per Starlink cell. Most people think Earth is crowded with humans, but in reality it’s almost empty by surface area. Humans congregate in a very small percentage of Earth (cities). The entire…”
“@AnthonyAspres @ICannot_Enough @engineers_feed Cool!”
“@dvorahfr I grew up in a lower, transitioning to upper, middle income situation, but did not have a happy childhood. Haven’t inherited anything ever from anyone, nor has anyone given me a large financial gift. My father created a small electrical/mechanical engineering company that was…”
“@SciGuySpace Still early in analysis, but the force of the engines when they throttled up may have shattered the concrete, rather than simply eroding it. The engines were only at half thrust for the static fire test.”
“@engineers_feed Crazy that this is still so different in 2023”
“@JonErlichman In the fairly near future, internal combustion engine vehicles will be viewed in the same way that we view external combustion engine vehicles (steam engines)!”
“@maidensheildio @engineers_feed This platform is great for #3”
“Candle in rocket engine lasts ~0.1 sec Analogies are not physics https://t.co/mhAPFnVv9p”
“@DimaZeniuk @SpaceX @SirineAti @captainarve @andst7 @WholeMarsBlog @EvasTeslaSPlaid @GailAlfarATX @JaneidyEve @TeslaAIBot @1stMarsColonist And we need to add 3 more Raptor Vacuum engines, because it’s inevitable”
“Engineering is true magic”
“@ajtourville @ulalaunch @SpaceX Wow, 9 years ago. Amazingly, the US was dependent on Russian engines for national security missions back then!”
“Cybertruck at Tesla Engineering HQ https://t.co/2xo9Hjgfk9”
“@MartijnBAARDA The main reason Rome won was because they had the best engineering”
“@paulg @engineers_feed An ideal air conditioner should optimize temperature & humidity, while filtering out particulate & pathogens”
“@sreemoytalukdar Fixing the recommendation algorithm is our current top priority. Twitter engineering has been working super hard on this. Proud of the team.”
“@engineers_feed lol”
“Team turned off 1 engine just before start & 1 stopped itself, so 31 engines fired overall. But still enough engines to reach orbit!”
“Attempting Starship 33 engine static fire”
“@Rainmaker1973 That engine performed an incredible number of transformations to match Mach number!”
