Starship transiting the Sun this morning during Flight 14 — prior to this morning's mission, this has never been captured before with the world's largest and most powerful rocket.
I’ve ached over this shot for years, mainly for two reasons: what does methane exhaust look like silhouetted against the Sun, and how violent are the acoustic energy waves from 33 Raptor engines on the Super Heavy booster?
Well...now we have an answer.

When I talked to Gates in person, he said “experts tell me a long range electric semi truck is impossible”.
However, when I asked what his assumptions were about battery energy density and vehicle energy consumption per mile, which are the two numbers needed to determine range, he did not know either number!
I also offered to let him take one of our semi trucks for independent testing, but he declined. Not sure what more I could have done. 🤷♂️
Elon has created $3 trillion of value with his companies and pays the salaries of 150,000 people.
Bernie helped create $36 trillion of debt with his time in Congress and pays the salaries of 0 people.
Elon’s wealth is not the problem, Bernie’s communist policies are.
Simple.

In 2001 George W Bush proposed a partial privatization plan for Social Security so you could put 10% of your SS contribution into the markets.
People rejected this.
We can now see that if it had passed, the 10% that went into the markets would have outperformed the 90% the government managed, the program would be solvent, and the average SS recipient would be receiving 2X what they currently receive.
The worst bet you’ll ever make is betting on government.
