Turkey should be the first nation to buy Bitcoin and hold it as a reserve @Merkez_Bankasi @CentralBank_TR @naci_agbal 🏛️

"The AI race is effectively becoming bipolar between the US and China, shaped not just by model capability but access to power, tech talent, semiconductors, and critical minerals as well" - Morgan Stanley

SpaceX was founded in 2002. If you remember watching this moment thirteen years later and thinking it would quell the naysayers as I did, we were wrong. Most of the world ignored it, even the tech world. I still remember how many smart people in 2019 and 2020 said Starlink was

starting to happen now btw

Debunking the Cooling Constraint for Space Data Centers ❄️🛰️ We tackled one of the most persistent objections to orbital compute: “How do you cool data centers in space?” Using first-principles and Starlink V3 scaling (20kW > 100kW) as a reference, we show the cooling problem

It was clear from the data, you idiots.

Another industry first for LEO Express 2! From concept to successful on-orbit RPO. Way to go Impulse and @starfishspace. 176 N of total available thrust with our 8 Saiph thrusters plus our cold-gas RCS thrusters provided 6 DOF attitude control to get our two Miras within 1,250

@leap_71 CEO Josefine Lissner during final assembly of our aerospike. The rocket engine is created without human intervention by Noyron - it’s a 20 kN MethaLOX thruster running at 50 bar chamber pressure, creating 4500 lbf of thrust.

Elon Musk's ecosystem of companies is evolving into an incredibly interconnected network. Advancements in one fuel progress in others. SpaceX will deploy AI-focused satellites equipped with Tesla-designed chips and powered by Tesla solar panels. Those satellites support xAI,

Everyone’s focused on the $400 million battery price tag. That misses the point entirely. xAI just told you power is now the binding constraint on AI training, and most people haven’t repriced what that means. The math: Colossus 2 needs 1+ gigawatts to run at full capacity.

Losing half a century's worth of nuclear progress and proliferation to Greenpeace hippie hysteria will haunt the west (and the world) for a long time to come.

@Gfilche Any meaningful progress towards a K2 civilization will result in value creation that is many orders of magnitude greater than the current economy

I started Boom knowing literally zero people in aerospace. Networks are built naturally when doing something interesting—they are not a precondition.

I’ve been talking about the need to move compute to space for a few years now, since about the time I founded Impulse. My thesis was not that it was needed because it is so hard/expensive to install terrestrial power, but because exponential growth of computer power could

nanoGPT - the first LLM to train and inference in space 🥹. It begins.

We have just used the @Nvidia H100 onboard Starcloud-1 to train the first LLM in space! We trained the nano-GPT model from Andrej @Karpathy on the complete works of Shakespeare and successfully ran inference on it. We have also run inference on a preloaded Gemma model, and we

A new product, a new customer, a new financing! Introducing Superpower: a 42MW natural gas turbine optimized for AI datacenters, built on our supersonic technology. Superpower launches with a 1.21GW order from @CrusoeAI Backstory 🧵👇

The discovery of sugars, including ribose and glucose, in samples from asteroids returned by spacecraft, means “material with all three components necessary to life could have been dispersed to prebiotic Earth and other inner planets” (nucleobases and amino acids were previously

The EU slaps X with a $140m fine for "confusing users with blue checkmarks" while its citizens choose to trust X as their news source. Meanwhile, traditional media outlets there will write befuddled stories about the mystery of falling trust in the old institutions.

It is often two steps forward, one step back, but we are making rapid progress in showing people compelling content. It’s too much in flux right now, but, hopefully by next month, we should be able to open source literally all of the @X codebase. Nothing left out at all.
