Getting to over half NASA's yearly budget in a single quarter is insane.
BREAKING: SpaceX crushes Wall Street revenue expectations, bringing in $14,580,000,000.00 in Q3.

"Why has SpaceX shifted to AI and compute? what happened to Mars?"
THIS IS HOW THEY'RE GETTING TO MARS.
Clowns for years have used "we cannot see the books" to dismiss any positive argument about SpaceX business
Well now that we can the news keep getting worse for those clowns:
$4.4 billion of profits.
Even the talking point about AI just burning money has completely evaporated
Marc Sulfridge retweeted
As I said, SpaceX doesn’t need government reliance to do space things anymore
Everyone has this old image of spaceflight where it must only be NASA and a perfect government party leading everything but, as it turns out when you create an actual good company building and inspiring millions instead of stealing money from your government (Lockheed and Boeing) you can actually do spaceflight while generating money
SpaceX WILL build a colony on Mars and WILL build Moonbase Alpha.
Having discussions about Starship in 2026 is impossible because people can’t comprehend how good V3 is currently and think SpaceX is ONLY an AI company that won’t do anything else besides AI satellites
No one wants to use their brains because SpaceX isn’t doing spaceflight in the decades old way of relying entirely on government and politics of whoever is president.
SpaceX will be carrying an unreal amount of people to the Moon early next decade, this is just fact

THIS WILL BE INCREDIBLE TO SEE!!! Flight 15 could feature the first DOUBLE CATCH! That's right! Both ship and booster could be caught. This obviously means it'd be an orbital mission again too, so this will easily be the most exciting mission to date! I can't wait!!!

Q3 2026 highlights:
- Delivered revenue of $14.6 billion, up 161% year-over-year
- Successfully launched our first revenue-generating Starship mission, delivering 26 Starlink V3 satellites to our broadband constellation, representing approximately 10x the downlink capacity added by a Falcon 9 Starlink launch
- Added $6.7 billion of incremental Super Intelligence solutions and infrastructure revenue year-over-year, driven by cloud services agreements, the acquisition of Cursor, and our growing SI models and software applications, including @Grok @Bot
- Delivered year-over-year revenue growth of 69% and income from operations growth of 99% for the Connectivity segment, supported by strong momentum in enterprise and government adoption, and continued @Starlink consumer subscriber growth
- Continued to scale nameplate compute, reaching 1.7 GW as of September 30, 2026

Elon Musk just CONFIRMED that @SpaceX will attempt to catch Starship during Flight 15!
This is a monumental moment in human history. SpaceX also released a new simulation of the landing:

During the SpaceX earnings call today, Elon Musk says the company will attempt to recover both the booster and ship on Flight 15. Targeting next month. Believes success "is more likely than not."

Holy sht. Axios "fact-checkers" just used a literal AI photo, provided by Nasifa Fai, to "DEBUNK" a real video.
Welcome to 1984.

📸These are footage of the very same Starship HLS Cabin 1 at Starfactory, inside which SpaceX is recreating the actual HLS crew cabin with life support systems. Work on it should be completed by the end of this year🧑🏻🚀

Not how American justice works
1. Name the law
2. Prosecute the person who broke it
3. Prove that it was broken by that person
You don't throw around blanket threats of prosecution for associating with political opponents. That's fascist bullshit & should be called out as such
People i respect are jumping on the condemnation of @SenatorSlotkin's remarks, but they're falling for a brief clip dishonestly framed.
In the full remarks she's taking about how do we deal with executive power off the rails, with no accountability for criminal abuse of power.

SpaceX already launches 80% of all mass to orbit. The rest of the world (including the rest of the US) does the remaining 20%.
And that’s before Starship.
100% accurate description.

"You'll see that the European Union's flagship project, IRIS² (Infrastructure for Resilience, Interconnectivity and Security by Satellite), will very quickly offer a sovereign alternative to Starlink."
Iris2 was announced in 2022 and has not launched a single thing through 2026.
This is what it's like discussing space with people who aren't informed. They think they can just all of a sudden decide to create a SpaceX competitor or Starlink competitor.
They say "see our politicians are talking about iris2 already! SpaceX replacement coming right up!" Not understanding that iris2 has been flailing for 4 years with nothing to show for it. That's why it's easy for me to say they won't have anything meaningful for a decade. It's been 4 years since announcement and they don't even have a single satellite!
It's really hard to watch video streams, play network games, and browse social media using European hopes and dreams. Meanwhile, Starlink just works, and it gets faster with every single launch.
"You're taking old news" ?
That's propaganda.
If Washington has been threatening Europe in recent days in case Starlink is abandoned, it's because Starlink is already dead in Europe, my friend!
In early 2026, the German Ministry of Defence and the Bundeswehr ordered a sovereign satellite constellation from a national consortium (including Rheinmetall, OHB, and Airbus). The goal is to deploy hundreds of satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO) to directly connect tanks, ships, drones, and troops on the ground. Germany seeks to avoid repeating the bottlenecks and geopolitical policy shifts seen in Ukraine and during European negotiations.
Italy has already made its position on Starlink clear by outright suspending its plans for strategic and military agreements with SpaceX.
As for France, it has decided to take a firm stand by opting to invest heavily in Starlink's European rival. The French state has become the main shareholder in Eutelsat Group (operator of the OneWeb low-Earth-orbit constellation).
As with Germany and Italy, France is the main driving force behind IRIS², the European Union's future sovereign constellation. The French Directorate General of Armaments (DGA) and Space Command (CDE) are preparing the transition to these European infrastructures by the end of the decade.
You'll see that the European Union's flagship project, IRIS² (Infrastructure for Resilience, Interconnectivity and Security by Satellite), will very quickly offer a sovereign alternative to Starlink. Considered the third major European space project after Galileo (GPS) and Copernicus (Earth observation), it aims for the continent's strategic autonomy.

"When you weaponize the DOJ against political opponents, it's a threat to democracy. When we do it, it's a virtue!" - Elisa Slotkin perfectly lays out the Democrats' platform.
Spare me the pearl-clutching — especially from Republican Members of Congress and online MAGA grifters who have cheered President Trump's weaponization of the government against those he doesn’t like, as recently as last week. This is a subject I know something about: Less than a year ago, Trump directed the DOJ and FBI to investigate me, and then tried to criminally indict me for a 90 second video, exercising basic free speech. The same free speech you’re exercising now, lying about what I said in this clip. If not for an anonymous group of grand jury members standing up for America's laws, I’d be criminally indicted for sedition. President Trump has turned the government against people, with raucous support from you and virtually all D.C. Republicans. So spare us the manufactured outrage.
America must be a place where the rule of law still matters. Those laws should apply to everyone equally. If you have aided in the corrupt use of U.S. taxpayer dollars to benefit the President or his family, or you have violated the law in order to carry out guidance from the President, you should be held accountable. And given how rampant that corruption appears to the average American, people looking to work for his Administration should realize that while the Supreme Court has granted the President immunity, it has not done the same for those who do illegal things at his behest.
