A young SpaceX employee asked Elon what happens if they fail to reach Mars in his lifetime. The room was full of engineers and the question landed heavier than anyone expected.

It was a simple question but it cut to the core of everything SpaceX exists for. The entire company, every late night, every exploded prototype, every engineer who missed their kid's birthday for a launch window, it all points at Mars. What if it doesn't happen in time?

Elon paused.

He said that the goal was never for him personally to walk on Mars. The goal was to build the infrastructure that makes it inevitable. That even if he dies before the first crew lands, the system he built would carry the mission forward without him.

He said the rockets, the factories, the team, the culture, all of it is designed to outlast any single person. Including him. Especially him.

Then he said something that reportedly moved people in the room.

He said that if he thought success depended on him being alive, he would have already failed. The whole point is building something that doesn't need its founder to keep going.

He compared it to a cathedral. The architects of medieval cathedrals knew they would die before the building was finished. They designed it anyway. They poured their life into something they would never see completed because the completion wasn't the point. The commitment was.

SpaceX is his cathedral. He may never set foot on Mars. But the road between here and there will exist because he refused to accept that nobody was building it.

The most ambitious man alive has already made peace with the possibility that his greatest achievement might happen after he's gone. That's not failure. That's faith in something bigger than yourself.

🚨If five players surrounded a Black star, knocked her to the floor, and one appeared to be pressing down on her neck while smiling, the sports media would be demanding investigations, suspensions, and wall-to-wall coverage.

Caitlin Clark deserves the same standard.

Fairness doesn’t change with skin color. Either dangerous conduct is unacceptable regardless of who commits it, or we’ve abandoned equal treatment altogether.

My mother is Northern European and Sicilian. If that were her on the floor, I’d have the same reaction. Equal standards mean exactly that.

The most successful political scam in modern history is convincing people that our future depends on separating ourselves by race.

We have race-based caucuses, race-based programs, race-based holidays, race-based activism, and race-based grievance politics.

And somehow we’re supposed to believe this makes us less divided.

The answer to racism isn’t more racial categories. It’s teaching every American that our history belongs to all of us.

Stop dividing us into tribes.

Stop treating race as the most important thing about a person.

And start celebrating what actually matters: We’re all Americans first.

Dear @AmazonMGMStudio & @PrimeVideo

Understand this clearly:

The Stargate audience does not want a reboot. We do not want a reimagining. We do not want a franchise “evolution.” We do not want a product engineered for focus groups and marketed as being for “modern audiences.”

We want Martin Gero’s Stargate. Nothing more. Nothing less.

For decades, fans kept this franchise alive while studios ignored it. We bought the DVDs. We watched the reruns. We kept the conversations going long after the gates went silent.

Now you stand at a crossroads.

One path leads back to the Stargate people actually love, the world built by the creators who made it matter in the first place.

The other leads to another hollow corporate imitation wearing a familiar name like a stolen uniform.

Choose the second path, and do not expect our support.

We will not celebrate it. We will not promote it. We will not reward it for borrowing a title it did not earn.

The audience you are chasing does not belong to you. The audience you already have does.

Ignore us, and you may discover too late that the people who carried Stargate for twenty years were the only people still willing to carry it at all.

The answer is already sitting in front of you.

The creators are there.
The fanbase is there.
The demand is there.
The blueprint exists.
The groundwork is finished.
The money has already been spent.

The choice is yours.

But so is the outcome.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

This is nuts

[Sam @DigitalSamIAm]

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.

It's wild that two weeks after Stargate's cancellation, the majority of the responses to the majority of the @primevideo posts continue to be Stargate-related.

[Stargate Fans United (#SaveStargate) @SGFansUnited]

Wow! #SaveStargate is trending at #8 worldwide.

Keep up the good work Stargate fans. This is incredible!!

[The Popcast Brothers @PopcastGuys]

IT'S NOT TOO LATE -- @PrimeVideo and PETER FRIEDLANDER... Put STARGATE with MARTIN GERO back in Production! Our Fandom will make up the foundation of a new generation of this franchise by honoring what came before BUT bringing in newer audiences. Don't make the same mistakes Paramount and Disney have made with Star Trek and Star Wars. They failed by leaving out the fan base! WE ARE YOUR STRENGTH! #SaveStargate

[Stargate Fans United (#SaveStargate) @SGFansUnited]

You guys are CRUSHING IT! I was worried about the turnout for this Tweetstorm... but I'm so impressed right now.

Stargate fans deliver again! #SaveStargate

[GateBuilder (#SaveStargate) @SGAGateBuilder]

Please bring back Stargate with Martin Gero. Please listen to the fans, we buy your products @AmazonMGMStudio #savestargate

[Stargate Now Europe #SaveStargate @StargateNow_EU]

Martin Gero’s Stargate project was halted, but many of us still believe Stargate deserves a future.
Please reconsider Stargate.

Going to repost this again as part of the #SaveStargate Tweetstorm. It's a beautiful creation from @MrMarioNeo that shows how strong and inspiring fandom can be when everyone unites together under a common cause.

It's one of my all-time favorite Stargate fan creations...
