Elon exactly knows X is losing engagement.. SO he has to engage the most vociferous crowd in x. Why Elon why ??? .. The comment section is real fun. :P
Dear Prime Minister Ambani,
Please accept my humble apologies for not realizing that you are the real boss of India.
Naturally, you would prefer to maintain your monopolistic exploitation of the great people of India, but would you nonetheless consider allowing Starlink to compete?
There are many areas of India, as there are in all countries, with no Internet access, which denies children the opportunity for education and for small businesses the opportunity to sell their goods to a global market. Starlink would change their lives for the better.
Thank you 🙏
For generations, we've pushed the limits of what flight can do.
Yet moving goods still comes with a compromise. The sea takes weeks and flying costs too much. Somewhere along the way, the world got comfortable with waiting.
Today, we announce Eureka, our first aircraft. It takes off and lands on water, and it's designed to turn "in a few weeks" into "on the evening flight."
Break the surface.
Ten families are suing Palo Alto Unified after their kids got sent on a “field trip” to a mosque. Girls were told to wear hijabs. Every student got handed a Quran to take home. Photos taken inside without parental consent.
This wasn’t some optional cultural visit. It was baked into the school’s “Social Justice Pathway” program, where kids were literally taught that Islam “promotes social justice” more than other faiths.
CAIR’s response? Called the lawsuit “misguided” and said it was all voluntary. Handing a teenager a religious text and putting a hijab on a teenage girl during school hours isn’t voluntary, it’s institutional pressure with extra steps.
Public schools are supposed to be religiously neutral. This wasn’t neutral. This was indoctrination dressed up as “education.”
@nypost Who the eff writes these tweets for you ? So dumb .. He is not a netflix star .. before netflix was born he was a goat. Substandard and sloppy reporting.
Every stage before the OAM was built for raw thrust. The Orbit Adjustment Module is built for control. This episode is about the liquid-powered stage that can start, stop, and restart in space.

When I first came to India, the space industry was closed to private players.
The most well-known "startup" at that time was TeamIndus. Skyroot didn't exist.
A year later, in 2018, Skyroot was founded. Private companies in India couldn't launch rockets yet, but Pawan and Bharath forged ahead regardless, optimistic that liberalisation would happen someday.
Then, in 2020, it did. Indian companies were finally free to compete with American, Russian, European, and Chinese startups. They could build their own launch vehicles. And satellites. At an undisclosed location in the United States, Elon swallowed hard.
I was publishing videos about Indian companies on YouTube at this point. I remember thinking, "Making content about these spacetech developments is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
Now, ~6 years later, Skyroot has gifted India with the biggest white pill of all time. While the world watched, a team of ~1,000+ Indian optimists (with an average age of 28) flawlessly executed an orbital rocket launch.
No private space company IN THE WORLD has ever done this on their first try. As I write this, I have goosebumps. I feel incredibly privileged to have been able to witness this firsthand. I also feel inspired by the resilience, ingenuity, and wherewithal of the entire Skyroot team.
The next chapter of India's space journey has officially begun.
Thank you, Hon. Prime Minister Modiji! 🙏🇮🇳
This historic milestone has been made possible by your vision for India’s space sector and the transformative reforms that opened new frontiers for private space innovation in the country.
Grateful for your leadership and encouragement as we take this historic step. 🚀
@itswpceo Happy for India .. but getting a patent is one thing .. and making a product out of it another thing .. even bigger is able to get adopted by people ..
So bend your neck and keep working.
Let me explain the Kashmir conflict using a direct American parallel:
Imagine if, after the Civil War, the US permanently split into 2 nations: the progressive, secular Union in the North (India), and a regressive, hostile society of slave owners in the South (Pakistan). (1/8)
A 15-year-old dream has come true today. I started a PhD with the dream of creating a system that chants any Sanskrit shloka perfectly.
And here I am opening sourcing 𝐕𝐚𝐠𝐝𝐡𝐞𝐧𝐮 - 𝐀 𝐯ṛ𝐭𝐭𝐚 (𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫) 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞 ś𝐥𝐨𝐤𝐚-𝐭𝐨-𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐞𝐱𝐭-𝐭𝐨-𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐞𝐜𝐡 (TTS) 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐤𝐫𝐢𝐭. This is the world's first vrutta-aware, open-source TTS for Sanskrit Chanting.
Funny how GDP rankings, global friendships, and "superpower" chest-thumping only matter when they fit your narrative. The moment reality doesn't cooperate, all that bravado vanishes. Looks like this incident didn't suit your agenda, so now it's outrage season. Back to the cave you go.
