@em_Lazzy The government didn't give Elon money, he earned it by proving higher quality services at lower prices, saving taxpayers money. Direct your outrage at all those people who receive checks from the government for doing nothing.
@AlexFinn Yeah but 4.8 is not frontier mythos is. Compared to mythos this is not good enough. But I understand the logic of sovereignty and it’s a strong one. But still open source will always be behinde.
@farzyness@SawyerMerritt@Tesla I'm guessing it has to do with regenerative breaking. The larger the motor (I assume) the higher the breaking torque. So, the motor may be sized not for go-power, but to meet breaking requirements.
@PeterSchiff If you think that’s cult-like behavior, would you agree that being bearish from $0 to $126,000 over more than 10 years and saying you were right every 4 years would also be cult-like behavior?
@Soughanuna@farzyness When there is so much negative it most likely means that they don’t you to compete for the shares so it doesn’t go to far up ☺️ so I think for the short term it will go up and then crash.
Thank you for being here today. Your support means a lot to the whole team. We will get back to flight, and we will get to the Moon. Gradatim Ferociter.
We go where we need to be, and today that was @NASAKennedy.
Some of my senior engineers and I spent time at @blueorigin with @JeffBezos and @davill, speaking with the workforce and seeing the damage at LC-36 firsthand. I appreciated the opportunity to hear directly from those working through the aftermath and better understand the challenges ahead.
There is a lot of work to do, but this is exactly why people choose careers in aerospace, whether at NASA, Blue Origin, or across the industry. The talent in this field thrives under pressure and performs at its best when solving the toughest problems.
We have been saying for months at NASA that we are not going to sit on our hands and wait for the capabilities necessary to achieve the nation’s most pressing objectives. We are going to take an active role alongside our partners, just as we did in the 1960s, to overcome setbacks, remove obstacles, and deliver the intended outcomes.
@NASA is committed to helping the Blue team recover, continue to advance their lunar lander and get New Glenn back to launching as soon as safely possible.
America’s greatest achievements in space were never the result of avoiding setbacks. They came from overcoming them. We have done it before, and we will do it again🇺🇸
SpaceX has not committed to leasing Colossus for years, although it’s possible that may be what happens.
This is a 180 day lease with 90 day notice mutual cancellation thereafter. The short term was our request, not Anthropic’s.
We won’t leave them hanging and will provide a reasonable off-ramp, but if compute gets super tight I said we might need it back at some point.
In our last conversation, Gavin said data centers in space will be the most important thing in 3-4 years.
He explains that means "racks in space" and thinks orbital compute will solve the watts shortage:
"When people hear data centers in space, they picture a Pentagon-sized building in space. That's not what it is.
A Blackwell rack weighs 3,000 pounds. It's eight feet high. Four feet deep. Three feet wide.
It's racks in space. It has these solar wings that are probably 500 feet long on each side.
You keep it in a Sun-synchronous orbit, so those solar panels are always in the sun.
And then because it's in an exactly Sun-synchronous orbit, the radiator, which extends behind it for hundreds of feet is in the shade.
You link these racks using lasers traveling through vacuum which are already on every Starlink.
SpaceX operates the world's largest satellite fleet, which is 98 or 99% of all satellites in orbit. Every Starlink, they're cooling it today.
I think Starlink V3 is going to operate at 20 kilowatts. A Blackwell rack is only 100 kilowatts.
And people talk a lot about density. Well, if you're connecting the racks with lasers through vacuum, you can make the rack bigger physically.
In space, there's all sorts of things that SpaceX can do. They also now operate the largest data center on Earth.
I've spent a lot of time at Starbase over the years, and I've talked to a lot of SpaceX engineers.
It is the most talented group of engineers on planet Earth, and they're very confident they have solved this."

This makes me so hopeful for the future and excited. What a time to be alive not only for people with disabilities but for just everybody. When I imagine the future it makes me fill up with excitement adventure and hope. Great work neuralink team. @neuralink and @elonmusk. Thank you for pushing technology forward for the improvement of human life and positive future.
