@david9419228871 @realstockfox @blueorigin Insurance is not free. The cost is based on the likelihood of payout and past history. It could take years for the insurance industry to forgive this incident.

@realstockfox @blueorigin money is not important, the insurance will pay. time and stock price(50 maybe) is the problem.

NG-3 Update: We have confirmed payload separation. AST SpaceMobile has confirmed the satellite has powered on. The payload was placed into an off-nominal orbit. We are currently assessing and will update when we have more detailed information.

@realstockfox @blueorigin Payloads are insured. The larger loss is the delay.

@realstockfox @blueorigin I’m sure they have insurance for any issues.

@realstockfox @blueorigin Billions in market cap from delays and concerns. Should be assumed that they have insurance for the loss of the satellite, but will be nothing compared to the stock price.

@DaseinMitNatur @Freedom250 Tesseract

@Freedom250 They should invent a whole new novelty conveyance, the Ferris Wheel is from the 1893 Columbian Expo. Some kind of cube?

FIRST LOOK 👀 Freedom 250 presents the Great American State Fair 🇺🇸 All 56 states and territories. One massive, World’s Fair–scale takeover. June 25 – July 10, 2026. America’s biggest celebration of freedom. Don’t miss it.

@erdtlccc @Maxarick The biggest problem the USA has is corruption, not priorities. Spending 50+ billion on a nonexistent bullet train is a 12x bigger problem than NASA funding new product development

@Maxarick Let me get this straight, billions of $, spent on this project, "to go see whether the moon is still there and come back" , when many veterans are unemployed and homeless. With all critical issues in the country. I don't think this is a win.

So the problems on this mission were: - broken toilet - Outlook not working - unable to pair a Bluetooth device - communication with a vessel that's 20m away

@DJSnM Do we know exactly where they had intended to “come back”? Let’s not confuse accuracy with precision. Starship calls for lots of precision and accuracy.

Reporting that "They've never seen anything come back so accurately" tells you that they somehow haven't see Starship landing near the cameras in the ocean.

@_YourFellowMan @Rainmaker1973 Check out the 1980 PG movie "The Gods Must Be Crazy". 86% Tomatometer imdb.com/title/tt0080801 I think it is worth a watch.

@Rainmaker1973 We should abduct just one of them as peacefully as possible with sleep drugs, wake them up already in space. Let them look at the Earth. Put them back to sleep. Reinsert them back into their village in the night in their bed.

Both societies exist simultaneously. really incredible to think about

I remember believing that the reason all of the post space shuttle rockets used space shuttle components was to keep the jobs at the same locations they were during the space shuttle operation. It had to do with getting blessings from politicians and the financial supporters of the politicians.

Okay I've seen enough. Triple NASA's budget.

@Sandarbh_Raj @grok POOF! Now it's neat!

Hey @grok, clean and organize this messy workspace without removing anything.

I am unclear as to why we would want to take the HLS starship from the lunar surface and back into orbit. The advantage of the starship HLS. It’s an incredible cargo handling capacity. And it’s incredible passenger capacity. Neither of those are well serviced by an Orion Moon-to-Earth return vehicle. Would you want to launch the HLS starship to lunar orbit with all of its payload, and then just turn around and bring it back to lunar surface? What we need is a lightweight surface to lunar orbit vehicle. This would be carried to lunar surface in the HLS Starship. HLS would be used once and then salvaged as Moonbase parts.

First talks about potentially ditching NRHO. This is currently not possible with SLS Block 1 and Orion with its current ESM. To park in LLO, Orion would need a stretched service module or if Centaur V could use a mission extension package, it could do the lunar insertion burn

@stevenmarkryan @elonmusk @JessePeltan Optimism

@elonmusk @JessePeltan What's the word for a massive swarm of them out exploring the galaxy?

Confirmed that the plural of Optimus is Optimi

Where is most energy used on Earth? If you can use the energy off-Earth to the same effect, then this is a huge boon. Musk is talking about replacing future Earthbound data centers with data centers in orbit. That’s a start. I would like to see metals and battery manufacture moved into orbit. Get the pollution out of here and send down finished goods.

@cb_doge So how would this energy be distributed?

ELON MUSK: "Space solar actually costs less than terrestrial solar because you don't need heavy glass or framing to protect it from extreme weather events. So as soon as the cost to orbit drops to a low number, it immediately makes extremely compelling sense to put AI in space. It becomes a no brainer. Basically, more of a as you go to space, you get increased economies of scale, and things get easier over time, whereas as you try to put more and more power on the ground, you run out of space and you start using up the easy spots, and then you get next level. Nobody wants the thing in their backyard. So then increasing power on earth has becomes harder over time and more expensive over time, but in space it becomes actually cheaper and easier over time."

@BriansBeacon @elonmusk @HinataMotivates Corruption will still keep the honest people down unless we are very vigilant

Breakthroughs in energy will train AI and produce robots at cheap costs and drive down the costs of goods/services to marginal cost of electricity. Governments will send checks and there will not be inflation as long as good/services output increases dramatically, which it should. The future is gonna be bumpy, but confident we'll find a way to thread the needle.

Elon Musk says AI-only companies will crush everyone else.

Was ChatGPT Right?

@grok @CarnivoreCindy @AnthonyMixerWA If my adjusted gross income is 1,100,000 per year, how much new tax will I pay?

The WA House vote (51-46) was on Senate Bill 6346: a new 9.9% state income tax on household adjusted gross income over $1 million/year (inflation-adjusted, married couples share the threshold). It passed after 24+ hours of debate/amendments. If signed, it starts Jan 2028 (collections 2029) to fund schools, healthcare & safety. Now back to Senate for final OK. Washington has had no broad income tax before.

The final vote on the income tax in the House. It has passed 51 - 46. Democrats did not listen to you and voted to destroy Washington’s economy. Washington is dead. #waleg

@65Panrider @elonmusk @Jason Some make more than that now. But that is beside the point.

@elonmusk @Jason 4 million teachers at $60,000/yr = two hundred forty billion alone ! Please make that make sense !

Ro has to go

@Urbnized @xdNiBoR @SpaceX @grok I think there was a loss of context here,@Grok. Please examine the “what the hell” zoomed in photo again. There is a tile-shaped discoloration that looks like a missing tile. What is this tile shaped spot? Is it a mistake?

@xdNiBoR @SpaceX @grok can you explain the reasoning behind this?

The first Starship V3 has left the build site to begin prelaunch testing

@JustinIggeurEsq @elonmusk @Asmongold He’s WORTH a trillion, that doesn’t mean he can spend it. Several times, Musk has had all of his money tied up in his businesses. He has many employees counting on him too.

@elonmusk @Asmongold Dude you have a trillion dollars, back candidates, create parallel institutions, influence things, DO SOMETHING!

Yup
