Happy 1st Birthday, Starbase.
One year ago today, Starbase officially became a city. In that time, we’ve hosted multiple Starship flight tests, grown our community of people building the future of spaceflight, and worked to protect our beaches and natural resources for generations to come.
Next year will be even bigger. More launches. More progress. And we’re just getting started!
Thank you to everyone who has been part of Starbase’s first year as a city.
The trial has concluded, the facts have been confirmed. As the prosecuting counsel put it, Digwa used his “trump card” by alleging he had been the victim of racist abuse when police officers arrived.
DEI has again proved lethal - literally lethal. Henry Nowak, like the victims of Valdo Kalocane, of Axel Rudakubana, of the rape gangs, was failed by a public sector that treats anti-racism as its supreme value.
Unlike the death of George Floyd, his death plainly did reveal institutional bias - a bias deliberately cultivated across state bodies by years of training sessions and seminars.
Where are the protests? Where are the knee-takings? Where are the corporate boycotts?
Sod it, let’s be more modest. Is anyone even calling for an overhaul of the police?
Starlink powers the world’s biggest satellite constellation in low Earth orbit.
What does that mean for you? We're rolling out the world’s fastest, most reliable high-speed inflight Wi-Fi now — with waaaaay more on the horizon. By the end of this year, we expect that 880+ United planes will have @Starlink on board. And it's free for MileagePlus members.
Release the Henry Nowak police body camera footage so people can see what real systemic racism looks like.
They let an innocent kid bleed out over it.
Anything less is unacceptable.
Today, we remember a legend.
On this day in history, Harambe would have celebrated another birthday. An icon that became part of internet history, American culture, and an entire generation’s timeline.
Tomorrow marks 10 years since we lost him. Ten years since the moment the world stopped scrolling and collectively mourned something bigger than a meme.
He became a symbol of loyalty, strength, chaos, unity, and the strange beauty of the internet bringing millions of people together for one cause: never forgetting Harambe.
Everyone remembers where they were when they heard the news. And somehow, a decade later, his legacy still lives on.
Gone, but never forgotten.
Rest easy to a true patriot. 🕊️🇺🇸

Forever in our hearts.
SpaceX has almost finished writing V1.0 of an in-house AI training stack in C that exact-maps to 220k GB300s with 800G NICs, making heavy use of pipeline parallelism and getting as close to bare metal as possible.
The potential speed improvement vs JAX for large training runs is over an order of magnitude.
Next will be writing the inference stack in C for simultaneous high-speed RL across a large block of GB300s.
(We do use a little C++ tbh, but not much)
