@sam__hammock @hansvestberg please help me

[Mitch Rogoff @mitch_rogoff]

.@Verizon @VerizonSupport @VerizonNews someone in your system marked my IMEI as stolen, I have never been a Verizon customer. Both T-Mobile (my carrier) and (from whom I bought the phone) say that you’re the only people that can unblock me. I have proof of purchase, please help

[Mitch Rogoff @mitch_rogoff]

@FCC I submitted a report regarding this. Is there any way that we can expedite the unblocking of my IMEI so I can get phone service again. As you can imagine being unable to make/receive calls & texts is a major hinderance

what the hell

@Knight__dawg @Sarcastagasm_2 Correct response is to send him a bill for his half of gas

Can we debunk this nonsense?

Elon Musk was awarded (note: not given) cost-per-result contracts to perform a service for the US government. The total of those for SpaceX specifically is ~$22B, which includes repaid loans, state tax incentives, etc.

The deal was simple: put stuff into LEO at or below a set cost. If SpaceX does it below the set cost, SpaceX keeps the difference. If it doesn’t, the company is responsible for the overrun.

End result? SpaceX & Elon lowered the cost of getting 1 kg into LEO by 95-97% vs what NASA was paying previously.

And for the record, every other company around at the time was offered the same opportunity to bid on the contract - Musk/SpaceX just took it.

The handout narrative implies the taxpayer is the patron and SpaceX the dependent. The cost data shows the opposite: before SpaceX, NASA paid Russia’s Soyuz $80-86M per seat; SpaceX delivered at ~$55 million. SpaceX saved the US taxpayer $300M-$465M each year on that alone (the US sends 12-15 astronauts to space each year)

On the lunar lander, NASA estimated SpaceX’s fixed-price bid saved $20B-$30B vs the Boeing-preferred cost-plus approach.

So: SpaceX saved the US taxpayer more than the total value of contracts it earned on a single project, PLUS provided the US government with the requested services (put stuff in LEO) at the best possible price.

@Bokononisme Cutting through a hill≠sustained elevation change of≈1mi. Esp on I70 going west from Denver it is at about the limit of what trucks can handle and that’s with being winding, to run HSR through there would require either a tunnel or bridge or both several x longer than any built

@AidanRMackenzie Speed enforcement is almost always unjustified

[Mitch Rogoff @mitch_rogoff]

@BrandonButch (Probably nothing to do with the beta) but my IMEI on the phone I bought from the Apple Store on launch day got reported as stolen by Verizon? (Never had Verizon at any point) and the people at the Verizon store couldn’t help so I’m at T-Mobile while Apple calls Verizon 😣

@fahim_al_mahmud I finally got it, it’s just a crapshoot, my phone is still indexing too

[Mitch Rogoff @mitch_rogoff]

@JoestersEV I’m seeing everyone else get in 😔 I signed up right after the Keynote

If Mike Johnson cuts Social Security I will crawl over broken glass covered in ticks to vote straight ballot Republican

[Max Weinbach @mweinbach]

I really wish the indexing pop up in settings would say a % complete or show a breakdown of what is completed

[Mitch Rogoff @mitch_rogoff]

@qualitylearnc This is an improvement
