🚨 LMAO! Elon Musk has reportedly bought into the company that now OWNS CNN
He reportedly put about $1 BILLION into David Ellison's Skydance, which took over Warner Bros. Discovery this month
So people who have ownership stakes over CNN include Elon Musk and Trump ally David Ellison
The most entertaining outcome is the most likely 😂
Catch the booster AND the ship with the tower. No orbital rocket has ever been fully recovered. First try: yes or no? 🤔
19 flights on one booster, and it rides a boat home like it's nothing. Reusable rockets went from sci-fi to routine 🚀

A GPS rival with signals 100x stronger just raised $250M. Six satellites already in orbit. 🛰️

BREAKING: The U.S. Space Force has moved six national security launches from ULA to SpaceX to keep urgent missions on schedule.
Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy will take over the time-sensitive missions. SpaceX is stepping in to help America get its critical satellites into space.

SpaceX has just officially confirmed today that the SpaceX board of directors has formed a special committee to evaluate a potential combination between SpaceX and @Tesla.
“No determination by our special committee has been made regarding any potential combination, and any potential combination would be subject to further approval by our special committee, our board of directors and our controlling shareholder. There can be no assurance that any agreement will be reached or that any transaction will be consummated, and the special committee may determine not to proceed with recommending any transaction it does not believe to be in the best interests of our shareholders.”
This is via SpaceX’s new 10-Q filing with the SEC.

No messing around as @D_Tarczynski tells Piers Morgan he would 'ban all Muslims' from entering Poland, if elected.
"Islam is not compatible with Poland... France has fallen..it's done, it's too late!"
Be like Poland 🇵🇱
Neutron's Stage 2 just went horizontal. Rocket Lab's reusable rocket is getting real. First launch this year or next? 🚀
We have completed breakover operations for the Neutron Stage 2 tank assembly, rotating the stage horizontal – a critical step in the handling of large rocket sections for integration and assembly.
Here’s a last look at Stage 2 on the Neutron Factory floor before it’s wrapped up (literally) for barge shipment to LC-3 on Wallops Island where its fluid systems will be tested and its Archimedes vacuum engine installed.
11 years at Tesla and he's never seen energy like this. Cybercab heads to Dallas next. Which city should be after that?
11 years at Tesla and he has never seen this. Teams working 16-hour days, seven days a week, "just because it's that awesome to be a part of."

Sat inside while they shot at it. A .50 cal didn't get through the side glass. Would you take that seat? 🛻
He sat inside the Cybertruck while they shot out the windows. They even shot a 50 caliber bullet at the side glass and it didn't penetrate. "Exhilarating for sure, but absolutely safe."

Feel the Power of an RS‑25 Hot Fire Test! 🔥
We successfully tested RS-25 engine No. 10001 on Oct. 21 on the Fred Haise Test Stand at NASA’s Stennis Space Center near Bay St. Louis, Mississippi.
The main objectives of the test were to acceptance test RS-25 flight components for future @NASAArtemis missions and validate the new thermal protection system, which protects the RS-25 engine nozzle from the thermal environment surrounding NASA’s SLS (Space Launch System) rocket during launch.
While this developmental engine will not be used in flight, the hot fire test provides NASA and NASA's prime engine contractor @L3HarrisTech with the capability to capture critical data to improve engine performance and reliability.
8.5 minutes of pure fire at 111% power 🔥 NASA just lit up a Moon rocket engine. #Artemis

BREAKING: Elon Musk says Tesla demand is growing rapidly with FSD the biggest driver.
“The biggest driver for demand is full self-driving. Today there’s really no competitor for FSD in any car that you can buy.”

We are launching the Tesla Robotaxi safety report today.
Till date, Robotaxi has driven a total of 3.3 million miles autonomously, and has had zero injuries nor airbag deployments. If the same number of miles were to be manually driven, we should expect roughly 9 injuries to the occupants or other pedestrians and 4 airbag deployments on average.
We will continue to transparently share our progress with the public using this page.

Elon on the Q3 call: AI5 goes into Optimus around April 2027, with 10x the compute of AI4.
Put that together with the dexterity, durability and AI work, and Optimus ships to customers in about a year.
