True, even SpaceX’s competitor’s FUTURE plans are behind Starship 🤣🤣
Ok so yeah... $SPCX has no competition. None. And that's today, before Starship becomes their mainstream rocket. Starship widens the moat *considerably* more.
The competition is so far behind, they may as well be on another planet. Even the competitor's future plans are behind!
The new Tesla Roadster accelerates faster than a fighter jet taking off from an aircraft carrier
The new Tesla Roadster produces more thrust than an F-16 fighter jet at military power
Roadster Thrust augment:
>80 kN (~18,000 lbf)
F-16 with F100-PW-229:
~79.2 kN (~17,800 lbf) without afterburner
Tesla packed enough cold-gas thrust into a car that exceeds the non-afterburning thrust of an F-16 engine
With afterburner, the F-16 exceeds at ~130 kN
But the fact this comparison even exists is insane
Tesla just pushed automotive engineering deep into aerospace territory
Starlink helps rural communities all around the world
Starlink is helping connect healthcare facilities in Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬
Four health centres in Morobe Province have received Starlink kits, with three already installed, giving healthcare workers reliable internet for communication, medical research and patient care
And this is just the beginning
Morobe is proposing to expand Starlink to 54 health facilities, while the wider pilot covers all 22 provinces
This is where Starlink makes a real difference, bringing reliable connectivity and better access to healthcare in remote communities where traditional networks struggle to reach
Future fun Roadster demos will include flying over the Snake River or maybe Grand Canyon and landing on its wheels and exceeding half the speed of sound

Hard to think of a wilder product unveiling. Not sure how quickly drivers are going to be leaping over each other in traffic, but damn, this was a cool way to introduce Roadster to the world.
The degree to which people in the West fall prey to suicidal empathy continues to astonish me.
Read @GadSaad’s book about it!
Southwest Airlines going all-in with @Starlink!
The whole world will watch this
The only other person who’s ever made me this excited about a product unveil was Steve Jobs. Watching him introduce the first iPhone is a huge part of why I fell in love with technology.
Elon brings that feeling back for me, but honestly, I think he takes it to a whole different level. Tomorrow, he and the Tesla team are unveiling the next-gen Roadster, and I seriously cannot wait.
The Roadster they showed in 2017 already promised 0–60 mph in 1.9 seconds. Since then, Elon has talked about a Tesla–SpaceX collaboration, having it fly, and getting that time below ONE second, and calling it “the least interesting part” of the car.
How do you say something like that and expect me NOT to be excited?!
But beyond how fast it goes, I want to see something that makes me sit there and say, “Wow… how in the world did they build that?” I honestly don’t know what they’re going to show us, and that’s part of what makes this so much fun. I really want to be surprised and see the unthinkable.
These days I feel many older people don’t get that excited about things… I only see that spark in kids. But imo, we should still get excited about people building cool things. We should still root for the nerds, engineers, and designers trying to do something that has never been done before.
And I hope there’s a kid watching tomorrow who feels what I felt watching Steve Jobs introduce the iPhone. Someone who sees this car and starts wondering how it works, sketching their own ideas, or thinking about what they could build someday.
I hope y’all are ready to have your minds blown.
I’m rooting for you, Elon, and the entire Tesla team behind this car.
Go give us a night we’ll never forget!
