Onboard views from Starship and Super Heavy V3, which are equipped with upgraded cameras capable of streaming 4K video through every phase of flight via @Starlink
Starship’s twelfth flight test will debut the next generation Starship and Super Heavy vehicles, powered by the next evolution of the Raptor engine and launching from a newly designed pad at Starbase. The launch is targeted as early as Tuesday, May 19 → https://t.co/2gZQUxS6mm
🇫🇷 Thales and @ArianeGroup successfully conducted the first firing of the new ballistic munition FLP-t 150 with the support from the Missile Testing Division of the French Defense Procurement Agency @DGA. A new long-range strike capability in line with French forces’ ambitions. Know more: https://t.co/tXUYsnmktb
Launch rehearsal complete. During a flight-like countdown, more than 5,000 metric tonnes (11+ million pounds) of propellant were loaded on the fully stacked Starship and Super Heavy V3 vehicles for the first time
We're building a surgical robot capable of reaching any brain region. The goal: a generalized neural interface to help solve any condition that originates in the brain.
SpaceXAI will provide @AnthropicAI with access to Colossus 1, one of the world’s largest and fastest-deployed AI supercomputers, to provide additional capacity for Claude → https://t.co/nfDR9S822L
Grok 4.3 is now live on the xAI API. It’s our fastest, most intelligent model to date.
It tops the @ArtificialAnlys leaderboards in agentic tool calling and instruction following, and ranks #1 in @ValsAI enterprise domains like case law and corporate finance.
Grok 4.3 supports a 1 million token context window and is priced at $1.25/m input and $2.50/m output.

Powering the next giant leap.
A novel electromagnetic thruster that runs on lithium metal vapor was successfully fired up for the first time during initial tests at JPL.
Fully developed and paired with a nuclear power source, these thrusters could reduce launch mass and support payloads required for human Mars missions.
Hello, New York City. 🗽
Over the next week, our electric air taxi will showcase a quieter, cleaner, faster way to move through New York, in partnership with the @PANYNJ, @NYCEDC, and @FAANews.
The first ever point-to-point eVTOL flights in New York's history, connecting JFK to Manhattan's heliport network in minutes, demonstrate how we intend to integrate with the region's existing infrastructure.
Our vision for New York is simple: make getting to the airport — one of the city's most daunting experiences — one of its best, through partnerships with @Delta and @Uber that connect ground transportation and air travel in a single, seamless journey.

🇫🇷 Une start-up brestoise, Hit Mag, a développé un aimant permanent innovant sans terres rares.
🌍 Cette technologie repose sur des hexaferrites et nitrures de fer (matériaux abondants et bon marché), via un procédé de chimie beaucoup plus écologique et moins énergivore.
🧲 Les aimants obtenus sont plus puissants que les ferrites classiques et visent à concurrencer les aimants néodyme tout en éliminant la dépendance à la Chine.
🤝 La jeune entreprise a déjà signé des contrats avec le CNES et l’ESA, et cible en priorité les applications spatiales et télécoms avant l’automobile et l’éolien.
💰 Avec 1,6 M€ levés et une première ligne de production prévue en 2026 à Brest, Hit Mag incarne une avancée majeure pour la souveraineté européenne.
