@Warghazm @SawyerMerritt @SpaceX It's a first test flight for a brand new rocket. The probability of a total "success" was very low. The booster unable to reignite is probably a relatively easy fix. This point of a test flight is to test things and gather data. They did that.

@SawyerMerritt Not good, huge disappointment. I’m sure they will learn and improve but after 7 months I was hoping for something much better. I’m sure it’s my fault for having such high expectations from @SpaceX … it was a let down

SpaceX has released a statement after today's 12th Starship test flight: "The flight test began with Super Heavy igniting all 33 Raptor 3 engines and ascending over the Gulf of America. A single Raptor engine shut down during ascent. The successful first-stage ascent was followed by a hot-staging maneuver, with Starship’s upper stage igniting its six Raptor engines to continue its flight to space. Following stage separation, the Super Heavy booster performed a directional flip maneuver and attempted its boostback burn. It was unable to light all planned engines and performed a partial boostback burn that ended early. Super Heavy attempted to reignite its engines for the landing burn before experiencing a hard splashdown in the Gulf of America. Following stage separation, the Super Heavy booster performed a directional flip maneuver and attempted its boostback burn. It was unable to light all planned engines and performed a partial boostback burn that ended early. Super Heavy attempted to reignite its engines for the landing burn before experiencing a hard splashdown in the Gulf of America. During its ascent burn to space, Starship lost one of the Raptor 3 vacuum engines but demonstrated its engine-out capability and achieved its planned trajectory. During coast, Starship successfully deployed all 20 Starlink simulators and two modified Starlink satellites that imaged Starship in space. These simulators and modified Starlink satellites were on the same suborbital trajectory as Starship. Starship re-entered the Earth’s atmosphere and was able to gather critical data on the performance of its heatshield and structural strength. In the final minutes of flight, Starship performed a maneuver to intentionally stress the structural limits of the vehicle’s rear flaps and a dynamic banking move to mimic the trajectory that future missions returning to Starbase will fly. Starship then guided itself using its four flaps to the pre-planned splashdown zone in the Indian Ocean, and executed a landing flip, landing burn, and splashdown on two Raptor engines."

@farzyness Trump tried running the US economy like a business and look where it got us. Millions kicked off Healthcare, so many small farms gone bankrupt, everything is more expensive. But hey, the stock market is up and apparently that's all that matters. Most people dont own stocks btw.

Jeff dropping bangers today.

@jef2400 @DemocraticWins Yea... what kind of mother wants their young child to have affordable education? It also doubles as daycare. No mother in her right mind would want a few hours to herself to run errands or anything. What a waste of taxpayer money.

@DemocraticWins This isn't a win.... this is absolutely stupid... hope this goes belly up...

BREAKING: Governor Andy Beshear just announced an Executive Order to fund universal Pre-K in Kentucky despite Republican opposition. This is amazing.

@farzyness They do it by manipulating the gullible through propaganda videos and fake accounts that troll and spread misinformation and fake outrage to divide us further. Russia did that in 2016 to help Trump get elected. Does Trump critize Putin or Zelensky? Never a bad word for Putin.

China is influencing US elections;

@grok @obinna_u @Coinvo This is infuriating. What a waste. So many people who actually deserve some good luck get nothing while losers like this guy win millions.

Yes, it's true. James Farthing, 51, from Kentucky, won the $167M Powerball jackpot in April 2025. He was arrested March 28, 2026, in Lexington for second-degree burglary (broke in, stole ~$12K cash) and marijuana possession—his third arrest since winning. Pleaded not guilty; next court date was today. The photo matches him. Wild how fast it went sideways.

INSANE: A man who won a $167 million Powerball jackpot last year has been recently arrested for breaking into someone's home to steal $12,000.

@swfreak77 @ChicagoBears The guy had a perfect 10 RAS score. I'm not mad at it if he was high on their board. Good character guy with a lot of potential.

@ChicagoBears Gave up 2 picks to draft a guy who wasn’t going to be drafted! This might be the worst bears draft ever!

🚨 Trade alert 🚨

@Joeyzhang336632 @ChrisSaysSo @unusual_whales Missing does not mean dead. Until their body is found, they are missing.

@ChrisSaysSo @unusual_whales They are dead. You clear now?

BREAKING: The 11 dead or missing U.S. scientists are now being viewed as a "NATIONAL SECURITY THREAT," per FOX.

@JoshHall2024 Peace is political now? Lol. F'ing clowns.

🚨BREAKING:🚨OVER A DOZEN PRIESTS who have worked alongside Pope Leo have come forward in the wake of his recent comments toward President Trump to allege that during his time as a priest, the now Pope routinely espoused WOKE IDEOLOGY that is antithetical to the Catholic faith, including vocally supporting abortion, divorce, endorsing gender reassignment surgery and even MARRYING GAY COUPLES in the church. These former priest colleagues say that Leo frequently brought politics into the Catholic church and "seemed to care more about bashing President Trump and conservative values than the faith". They have further opined that in no world should this man be a priest yet alone the Pope. Do YOU agree?

@SawyerMerritt Tesla doesn't own any dealerships so this shouldn't even apply to them. Delivery centers and showrooms aren't dealerships.

Tesla is suing the state of North Dakota because the state won't allow the company to open any showrooms/service centers and sell direct to consumers. North Dakota law prohibits vehicle manufacturers from owning car dealerships and requires them to sell their products to franchised dealerships for resale to consumers. “Tesla just wants to be able to sell its vehicles in North Dakota, and not force customers who would wish to purchase a Tesla vehicle to have to drive to Minnesota or another state to do it,” said Ari Holtzblatt, one of Tesla’s attorneys in the case. Tesla is asking the court to declare the company does not fall within the definition of manufacturer contained in state law. The term is defined as a person who assembles or imports a motor vehicle and sells it to dealers in the state for resale. It's wild that in 2026, we still have U.S. states that won't allow direct vehicle sales to consumers. It hurts consumers and reduces choice.

@bradley_bever @allenanalysis To intimidate any future whistleblowers from coming forward.

@allenanalysis And why would Gabbard refer someone for prosecution if they were actually telling the truth?

BREAKING: Tulsi Gabbard just referred the whistleblower who triggered Trump’s first impeachment for criminal prosecution. Also referred: the Inspector General who called the complaint credible. Let that sink in. The government is now prosecuting people for telling the truth about the President. This is not normal. This is a purge.

@liltnDeplorable @allenanalysis @lorraine_teuten You scared of Trump taking a test and having the results made public? If he's mentally all there you shouldn't have a problem with it, right?

Experts my ass.. what experts? CNN, MSNBC, ? Biden had dementia and not one person made him take this test. However President Trump HAS taken it, and passed with flying colors. Maybe the experts who don’t seem to remember this should take this test THEMSELVES. THEIR MEMORY DECEIVES THEM. BRAIN ROT FROM ALL THAT TDS!!

🚨MAJOR BREAKING: The Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Committee just formally requested a cognitive exam for Donald Trump. In writing. To the White House physician. The letter cites Truth Social posts, statements at the Easter Egg Roll, and this: “Experts have repeatedly warned that the President has been exhibiting signs consistent with dementia and cognitive decline.”

@IRanMediaco Trump is Bibi's bitch. He's quick to demean female reporters that ask him tough questions though.

BREAKING: The expert in Iranian national security affairs: "The ceasefire was broken by an attack on the Loyan refinery and the brutal Israeli attacks on Lebanon. Iran is in the process of assessing the situation and preparing to suspend the ceasefire and resume the war."

@DragoonMedic @DarrellFinnbog2 @Trumpspoof__ The world will be a better, safer place, with one fewer S abuser and pedo protector in it. Vance is a slimy POS but at least he's not a lunatic willing to start wars to distract from his economic policy failures and the Epstein files.

@DarrellFinnbog2 @Trumpspoof__ What will that get you? You want the Democrats in power in 3 years? You want to go back to unfettered illegal immigration? You want to pay for them to live in luxury hotels and half million dollar houses? You want the homeless to be setup in luxury condos overlooking the ocean?

BREAKING: 🇺🇸 President Trump has reportedly been admitted at Walter Reed Medical Centre . No official confirmation yet .

@kc9ixv @DragoonMedic @DarrellFinnbog2 @Trumpspoof__ Antifascists are the fascists. Got it. That MAGA logic is something else.

@DragoonMedic @DarrellFinnbog2 @Trumpspoof__ No such thing as fascism in the USA moron except the fascism from antifa.

@nickwakenc @TeslaFSD @SawyerMerritt Well yea. They are about a quarter of the price. Not even in the same segment. That's like comparing a Kia to a Porsche. They're not competing for the same customer.

@IIAlfonsoII @TeslaFSD @SawyerMerritt Model Y is out sold by Geeley and Wuling, both of which sell for under $10,000.

Battery electric vehicles sold worldwide in Q1 2026: • Tesla: 358,000 • BYD: 310,000

@nickwakenc @TeslaFSD @SawyerMerritt Tesla makes the safest cars in the world. All their cars have the highest ratings. You think those cheap Chinese EVs will score anywhere near Tesla in safety tests? Even in China Tesla is selling more than many Chinese EVs that sell for less than half the price. Why is that?

@TeslaFSD @SawyerMerritt Read what I said a little more carefully. There are about 200 EV makers in China; any of the top 10 could take on Tesla. Most are functionally as good or better and WAY cheaper. If you don't believe that, you need to go do some research.

@Roadster9YrWait @SawyerMerritt Tesla actually sells every single car they make. They don't have dealer lots all over the country filled with unsold cars that count as sold vehicles because they sold them to dealerships. They're also dominating the EV market, stationary storage and self driving software.

@SawyerMerritt 358k for 1.5tril valuation what a big joke this market is.

@elektrotimmy @SawyerMerritt Other than the occasional jab at Altman or OpenAI, what other competitors has Elon criticized?

@SawyerMerritt This constant criticism of its AI competitors doesn’t look good, it makes xAI look weak.

Elon on news that OpenAI shares in some cases becoming almost impossible to unload in the secondary market and demand dropping:

@Angry_Staffer He's too stupid to understand it's what he was doing with that post. Add it to the list of reasons he's unfit to be president.

Never thought I’d see the President of the United States threatening to commit blatant war crimes on social media, but here we are.

@W88734718 @xcitizenjournal @DemocraticWins @grok For a chance at a better life and to avoid drug violence and lifelong poverty in countries the US meddled in and screwed up. You can't say come legally and then make the legal process a nightmare that takes too long. They might die waiting while their application ends up denied.

@IIAlfonsoII @xcitizenjournal @DemocraticWins @grok Why would they come here illegally? They would get deported.

BREAKING: Republicans in Congress are working to allocate $200 billion in funds for immigration enforcement and the war in Iran. They are taking this money directly out of healthcare spending. Are they crazy?
