@Biigmaaccee @SpaceX People gave been literally saying this about SpaceX since 2002 at every iteration. SpaceX even posted a video of all the Falcon 9 explosions. Look at them now. Starship will open up space flight to the masses.

Initial Super Heavy V3 and Starbase Pad 2 activation campaign complete, wrapping up several days of testing that loaded cryogenic fuel and oxidizer on a V3 vehicle for the first time. While the 10-engine static fire ended early due to a ground-side issue, we saw successful startup on all installed Raptor 3 engines. Next up: preparing the booster for a 33-engine static fire

@farzyness @DavidCarbutt_ Watched it on YouTube. Totally agree!

@Milajoy I’m really hoping he truly strongly supports the Iranian revolution, for Iran. And for the sake of removing a key CCP ally.

China went to meet with Maduro today to discuss joining forces, then Trump captures Maduro the same day.
Savage.
In fact, the Chinese delegation is still in Venezuela.
Trump captures Maduro and sends a powerful message to Xi and China at the same time.
Savage.

@Milajoy Much of Trumps agenda is primarily about China.

Starship should be able to deliver around 300 GW per year of solar-powered AI satellites to orbit, maybe 500 GW. The “per year” part is what makes this such a big deal.
Average US electricity consumption is around 500 GW, so at 300 GW/year, AI in space would exceed the entire US economy just in intelligence processing every 2 years.
Solar cell production for terrestrial applications is already far above this number at >1500 GW of annual production capacity.
Tonnage to orbit will be solved by Starship.
Chip production is therefore the major piece of the puzzle to be solved.
The Tesla Terafab is needed for this, as there is otherwise no solution at sufficient scale.
These numbers are immense by earthly standards, but don’t register materially on the Kardashev II scale. For that, lunar production of solar-powered AI satellites is needed to take things to the 100+ TW/year level.

The lowest cost place for data centers is space when 300 GW of computer data center you can power and cool in space when you have continuous solar and no batteries needed. @elonmusk

@ChrisJBakke In other words,
- X employees would consistently be expected to stay at least an hour past the typical workday
- Elon regularly missed scheduled meetings and expected you to be available at his convenience
Wow, he's such a hard worker!
English
When I reported to Elon, we would have X product meetings at 5 or 6pm (because he was with the Tesla team for 10 hours before that), then my 1:1 checkin would be at 10pm, but that would regularly get moved to 11pm or midnight or 1am.
Usually around 2am, he’d go take a nap for a couple hours in the office and then repeat the same schedule again the next day with a different set of companies, 7 days a week.

Any school teacher has more work ethic in their pinky finger than Elon Musk has in his entire body. Make. Billionaires. Pay. Their. Fair. Share.
English
@elonmusk Anyone offended at Musk’s pay package should go buy Tesla stock immediately. They are clearly acknowledging they believe he will be successful.
English
It sure is a tall order 😂
Anyone can buy Tesla stock right now and come along for the ride.
There will inevitably be some bumps along the way, but, with a truly immense amount of work, I think these goals can be accomplished.

The final boss in Musk's 2025 Comp Plan is achieving $400B in EBITDA. Perspective: $238.24 billion: Saudi Arabian Oil Company (Saudi Aramco) achieved the highest annual EBITDA on record in 2022, driven by elevated global oil prices, higher sales volumes, and strong refining margins amid geopolitical tensions and post-pandemic demand recovery. This figure surpasses other major companies like ExxonMobil ($102.59 billion in 2022) and NVIDIA ($34.48 billion in fiscal 2024). For context, Aramco's 2023 EBITDA was approximately $236.81 billion, still leading but lower than 2022's peak. Let that sink in.

Imagine the struggles SpaceX would have had when block 2 Starship failed 3 times in succession if it were a publicly held company. The bad news would have been amplified even greater in the news media. There would likely been calls from within the board for significant changes in how SpaceX operates. There could gave even been calls for the removal of Elon and his vision. I remember within the SpaceX community, people who are normally very bullish on Starship were calling for a pause and re-evaluation of block 2. As a private company they were able to stay on point. Fix the problems and resume on mission. Also, imagine what could have happened after IFT-1. Most all except the most diehard fanboys considered that a big failure. If SpaceX were publicly held, it might have been over a year before IFT-2. Thing’s need to stay as they are.

Can someone please give me your best argument for why you are for or against SpaceX going public?
Well thought out answers will be used in a new video ❤️

Elon Musk: "I want to try to figure out some way for Tesla shareholder to participate (invest) in SpaceX. I've been giving a lot of thought to how to give people access to SpaceX stock; Maybe at some point SpaceX should become a public company despite all the downsides of being public."

Trans women are women. Full stop.

@RolandForTexas That is a weak a$$ comeback! How does that address anything Elon said?
English
@niccruzpatane I honestly thought they were already doing this. A global distributed processing network that otherwise is sitting idle.

Elon Musk came up with a pretty incredible idea during the Q3 Earnings Call, that no one is really talking about.
His words: “Actually, one of the things I thought, if we've got all these cars that maybe are bored, while they're sort of, if they are bored, we could actually have a giant distributed inference fleet and say, if they're not actively driving, let's just have a giant distributed inference fleet.
At some point, if you've got tens of millions of cars in the fleet, or maybe at some point 100 million cars in the fleet, and let's say they had at that point, I don't know, a kilowatt of inference capability, of high-performance inference capability, that's 100 gigawatts of inference distributed with power and cooling taken, with cooling and power conversion taken care of. That seems like a pretty significant asset.”
So basically, each car has ~1 kilowatt of high-performance AI inference capability, Tesla wouldn’t need to build giant data centers — the fleet is the data center.
Tesla could turn their entire fleet into a giant distributed inference network, spread across the world, powered by the batteries and AI in the car already.
Mind blown.

@elonmusk It is honestly baffling to me that Duffy could be chosen over Isaacman. Duffy appears to be little more than a career politician. Isaacman’s credentials are clear. On a second note, Blue Origin is older than SpaceX and has gone orbital once. Kinda says it all.

@mjfree You didn’t have the votes when it counted and you still don’t.

@gtconway3d You guys are NUTS. You spent a decade demonizing conservatives calling them Nazis wanting to excommunicate them from society. You guys really need to look in the mirror.
