@CastroPodcasts Don't need help, just reporting bugs. No clear way to do that from what I can tell, hence the tweets.

@CastroPodcasts Running iOS 18.7 on iPhone 16. Text is white on white, button animations (i.e. Trim Silence) are slow in a way that feels clunky, and I don't love seeing skin colored background. Looks good considering the mess that is liquid glass and these are minor but just FYI

@CastroPodcasts @CastroPodcasts Side note, please add a Download Inbox Episodes toggle in settings. I want everything in queue and inbox to download and stay downloaded but I don't want a giant queue so I throw most episodes into my inbox to keep them organized until I'm running low in my queue.

[Paul Gemperlein @TheRiverPaul]

@CastroPodcasts @CastroPodcasts same details as above but the new 2025.10 version of Castro is causing episodes to mark as played when I move them from queue to inbox. This is causing a lot of issues for me, since I queue a bunch of things to download then move to inbox to sort chronologically.

@sama Please make io products not have a Settings page. Also, any io device I pick up (even one I don't own and have never seen before) should recognize me and act as if it's mine. Any device that I pick up should just work. No reason this can't be done if starting from scratch.

@aspec00 Hi from Louisville. I tried to join you at Fido today but couldn't make it. I want to put together a team that drives to Austin (15+ hours, 1000+ miles) and builds the business from scratch on the way, StartupBus-style if you're familiar with that. Would that be allowed to pitch?

Hey @kimbal, can you confirm/deny Errol's claim that Elon was named after a character in a book? I know he was named after your great grandfather but was the fact that Errol saw "Elon" in a book also part of that decision? https://t.co/TS6y0DsoMt

@mayemusk Can you confirm/deny Errol's claim that Elon was named after a character in a book? I know he was named after your grandfather but was the fact that Errol saw "Elon" in a book also part of that decision? https://t.co/TS6y0DsWC1

@Freyazon @jimstewartson @elonmusk Interesting, I wasn't aware of this. Errol is a dubious source though. He might be misremembering, confused, or lying. Nothing mentioning "Elon" is known to have been published prior to 2006 and Elon's interest in space/rocketry/Mars is demonstrably independent of his namesake

[Paul Gemperlein @TheRiverPaul]

@jimstewartson @elonmusk Elon is named after his great grandfather, which predates von Braun. Also, von Braun's novel mentioning "The Elon" wasn't published until 2006. It's an unrelated coincidence. More info: https://t.co/XZE8qI9m5S

[Paul Gemperlein @TheRiverPaul]

@BartemyS @elonmusk Not quite. I took the original manuscript pic and have looked into this extensively. The von Braun novel is about humans first visiting Mars and finding an existing native Martian colony. The leader of the Martians is given the title of "The Elon"

[Paul Gemperlein @TheRiverPaul]

@elonmusk I took that manuscript pic. I've talked to the book publisher, von Braun relatives, even asked Kimbal how he got his name. There is no good explanation. It's just an incredible coincidence. See thread here: https://t.co/pB3rdN11Gb

[Paul Gemperlein @TheRiverPaul]

@elonmusk @tobyliiiiiiiiii I took that pic. It's real. More info here: https://t.co/XZE8qI9m5S
