@DataRepublican @OhioShermanTank @PeteHegseth @Liz_Wheeler These are viable mitigation strategies, but treatment is not a solution.

@OhioShermanTank @PeteHegseth @Liz_Wheeler You govern yourself. Do you still have children in public school? Do you still depend on CNN? Do you go to DEI training sessions? Are you stuck in a city? All these things are fixable.

🧵 THREAD: The true reason Pete Hegseth is being targeted is because he's standing between President Trump and a coup @PeteHegseth named the institutions... CFR, Brookings, the general class... in 37 seconds in a video by @Liz_Wheeler . Within 72 hours of his nomination, a color revolution planning document cited him as an insider threat. They didn't go after him because of drinking. They didn't go after him because of women. They went after him because every color revolution manual ever written says the same thing: you cannot topple a government unless the security forces defect. And a loyal Secretary of Defense is the one person who makes sure they don't. I have the receipts. Their own documents. Their own training sessions. Their own words on camera. As always, patience as I pull together the thread. 👇

@mcrs987 @NoGoodGodGames All progress depends on the unreasonable man. 😛

@NoGoodGodGames (extremely)

How they're genuinely going to be treating JRTI ;

@SpaceX Does that mean fewer Falcon 9 launches?

After 156 successful Falcon 9 landings, Just Read the Instructions will be fully dedicated to support Starship operations going forward

Falcon 9 lands on Just Read the Instructions, which is the last planned Falcon mission for this droneship

@Appipolilogies @michaelmalice @aboardgravyboat Semicolons are for attaching thoughts that could be separate sentences; you use them to control flow where a comma isn't connected enough, while a period provides too hard a stop. Em dashes are used to adjoin tangents — nobody uses colons right, either — to a work.

@michaelmalice @aboardgravyboat It's so damn smart and yet the semicolon eludes it 🧐

Midwit tries to force Grok into a corner but gets BTFO this is absolutely fascinating

@michaelmalice @aboardgravyboat Em dash

@aboardgravyboat other than the m-dash that clearly reads like a smart person who understands concepts, and is articulate as well

Every time I look up at the Moon now, even the one at Space Center Houston, it feels different. It’s no longer just a distant light in the night sky — it’s a place I’ve studied up close with my own eyes. I find myself tracing its features, recognizing the shadows, the craters, the quiet stories written across its surface. The Moon hasn’t changed, but now when I observe it, it comes back to life in my mind with a new and treasured perspective.

@SpaceBasedFox Aged less well than expected 😅

If today's events have shown us anything, it's that this is the perfect rocket

Only one chance in this lifetime… Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him. I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.

Torpedo the Visa Renewal Path If the U.S. Navy can take someone off the street and train them to operate a nuclear submarine in under three years… Then Amazon can train an American to do a tech job in that same time. The truth is simple: every H-1B renewal proves the job was never “temporary.” Amazon had three full years to find, hire, or train an American. Instead, they chose to renew the visa and lock in foreign labor. That isn’t compliance. It’s abuse. It’s un-American. And it betrays every citizen who could have filled that role. Dump the visa renewal path. Hire and train Americans.

@Lostinwebspace0 @DOWResponse A blockade is only legal under international law if every ship that tries to run it is stopped by force.

@DOWResponse good to know how the tax money is being used. firing at some commercial vessel far, far away from the U.S. shore. nobody said the U.S. has to police every lake and sea on this planet.

U.S. forces operating in the Arabian Sea enforced naval blockade measures against an Iranian-flagged cargo vessel attempting to sail toward an Iranian port, April 19. Guided-missile destroyer USS Spruance (DDG 111) intercepted M/V Touska as it transited the north Arabian Sea at 17 knots enroute to Bandar Abbas, Iran. American forces issued multiple warnings and informed the Iranian-flagged vessel it was in violation of the U.S. blockade. After Touska’s crew failed to comply with repeated warnings over a six-hour period, Spruance directed the vessel to evacuate its engine room. Spruance disabled Touska’s propulsion by firing several rounds from the destroyer’s 5-inch MK 45 Gun into Touska’s engine room. U.S. Marines from the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit later boarded the non-compliant vessel, which remains in U.S. custody. American forces acted in a deliberate, professional, and proportional manner to ensure compliance. Since the blockade’s commencement, U.S. forces have directed 25 commercial vessels to turn around or return to an Iranian port.

@elonmusk Economic value is going to be completely reoriented around robotic labor hours; knowledge-specialization is out of the picture, which turns it into a question of tool specialization and robot-laborer counts. Money probably doesn't serve as a useful all-purpose abstraction here.

Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI. AI/robotics will produce goods & services far in excess of the increase in the money supply, so there will not be inflation.

@MatthewBAX @elonmusk Any source of extra oomph is one more thing that can go wrong, cold launching means that it's do or die, and hot-launching means that the extra boost can't provide meaningful value.

@elonmusk I keep thinking there must be someway to boost the launches from the ground for that little bit of extra OOOMPH! I know you don't want boosters to be necessary... but why not 'optional'? Springs? EM Rails? Shoot lasers into the rocket cones to initiate fusion?!? SOMETHING?

Starship Super Heavy Booster, the most powerful moving object ever made by far

First 33-engine static fire for Super Heavy V3

Full-duration static fire for the first time on Starship V3

@nickshirleyy That's the most flagrant and blatant first amendment violation I've seen in a while.

California is trying to pass a bill that would criminalize investigative journalism with misdemeanors, $10,000 fines, imprisonment, and content takedown. The proposed bill is titled AB 2624 and was made after I exposed mass fraud by immigrant groups in America. Under AB 2624, government-funded entities like the Somali “Learing” Daycare centers would be protected from being exposed if they operated inside California. The enemy truly is within. When our politicians would rather protect fraudsters and illegal migrants, it’s time for us to stand up or face mass oppression from the traitors who “rule” over us.

@nikitabier @P_Kallioniemi @MatrixPrime_ @dom_lucre Why do businesses hire consultants with such large consultancy fees? I don't really have the frame of reference to understand it.

@P_Kallioniemi @MatrixPrime_ @dom_lucre No, I turned off millions of dollars of cashflow from consulting.

Imagine having over 100 Million+ And niggas worried about @dom_lucre 30K BUT @nikitabier needs to eat

I am hesitant to get ahead of a proper data review, but I understand the space community’s curiosity, especially when imagery can give the impression of a problem. As you would expect, engineers were eager to inspect the heat shield, starting with diver imagery shortly after splashdown and continuing with the review aboard the ship. No unexpected conditions were observed. I suspect when the images are released, it will be pretty obvious the stark difference between Artemis I and Artemis II head shield performance. As to the question specifically, the discoloration was not liberated material. The white color observed corresponds to the compression pad area and is consistent with the local geometry, AVCOAT byproducts, and transitional heating environments. We observed this behavior in arc jet testing and expected it in this compression pad area. We will complete a full data review across all systems, including the thermal protection system, and make the results publicly available.

Starship 39 rolling out to Starbase Massey's test site tonight with lots of new additions on the leeward side. 4/11/26

@thetv_dev @elonmusk @techdevnotes Mythos isn't worth losing sleep over without an order of magnitude reduction in operating costs.

@elonmusk @techdevnotes Claude Mythos is on the way. What are you gonna do with that one?

Grok Build is supposed to be potentially coming next week as per Elon We still don’t have any clue how competitive it will be to Opus 4.6

After a journey of more than 690,000 miles, the crew is nearly home. The Artemis II crew will splash down off the coast of San Diego later today and, though it won’t be visible from land, you can still wave in their general direction to welcome them back to Earth! 👋
