RT by @elonmusk: It was amazing to stop by the hangar and meet the incredible @SpaceX technicians & engineers working hard to get Falcon & Dragon ready for launch. This pic is greatā€”the TE structure is so massive, it feels straight out of a Transformers movie. We are grateful for every moment of this journey.

RT by @elonmusk: Please take 40 minutes of your time and listen to one of the most important, moving, and inspirational speeches that I have heard in my lifetime. I expect you will agree. Alternatively, if you donā€™t have 40 minutes, listen for five minutes and then you will find time for the rest. The speech begins at around minute 40. @RobertKennedyJr addresses the health crisis in our country and its root causes and how he intends to address it. He also scolds the DNC for its anti-Democratic anti-free speech actions during the election. It doesnā€™t matter whether you are a Republican, Democrat or otherwise. It is important for you to hear his words, not a short form (mis)translation by the media. We owe him as much for the work, sacrifice, and investment he has made in his campaign and in sharing his important message. Thank you @RobertKennedyJr!

Falcon 9 is now ~75% reusable and requires several days between flights. Starship is designed to be 100% reusable and ultimately be ready to refly within an hour of landing. This is the key to becoming a multiplanet civilization.

RT by @elonmusk: Next week, 434 miles above the Earth, @rookisaacman will attempt the first-ever private spacewalk. The Polaris Dawn crew of four will be the first crew to test Starlink in space. They will be riding in a SpaceX Dragon capsule, with next generation SpaceX-designed EVA spacesuits. It uses new materials & joint designs to provide greater flexibility. The helmet has a new visor to reduce glare and a Heads-Up Display. The dragon capsule will fly as high as the Van Allen radiation belt, 870 miles from Earthā€™s surface ā€“ or more than three times higher than the International Space Station. This will be the highest altitude of any human spaceflight mission in more than a half-century since the Apollo program.

RT by @elonmusk: People need to stop overreacting about Kamalaā€™s plan to reduce food inflation, as if it would lead to communism, mass starvation, and the end of America. I worked in M&A in the food industry. Hereā€™s a step-by-step summary of what would actually happen: 1. The government announces that grocery retailers arenā€™t allowed to raise prices. 2. Grocery stores, which operate on 1-2% net margins, canā€™t survive if their suppliers raise prices. So the government announces that food producers (Kraft Heinz, ConAgra, Tyson, Hormel, et. al.) also arenā€™t allowed to raise prices. 3. Not all grocery stores are created equal. Stores in lower-income areas make less money than those in higher-income areas, as the former disproportionately sell lower-margin prepackaged foods (ā€œcenter of the storeā€) instead of higher-margin fresh products like meat (ā€œperimeter of the storeā€). Because stores in lower-income areas arenā€™t able to cover overhead (remember, even if their wholesale costs are fixed, their labor, utilities, insurance, and other operating expenses arenā€™t fixedā€¦ yet), grocery chains start to shut them down. Food deserts in rural areas and in low-income urban areas alike become worse. 4. Meanwhile, margins for food producers are also quickly eroding. Their primary costs (ingredients, energy, and labor) arenā€™t fixed, and their shrinking gross profits leave less cash flow available to cover overhead, maintain facilities, and reinvest in additional production capacity. 5. Grocery chains, which have finite shelf space, start to repurpose their stores (those they didnā€™t have to shut down, I should say) to sell more non-price-controlled itemsā€”everything from nutrition supplements to kitchenware to apparelā€”and less price-controlled food products. Your local Kroger or Safeway starts to look and feel more like a Walmart. 6. Food producers stop making products with lower margins. Grocery chain start competing with each other to secure inventory. Since they canā€™t compete by offering stronger prices (remember, producers arenā€™t allowed to raise prices here, and, even if they could, grocery chains no longer have the gross profit to bear price increases), they compete on things like payment terms. 7. Small grocery chains start to shut down entirely, or get sold to larger chains like Kroger. In addition to not being able to cover fixed costs, a major reason for this is because they can no longer reliably secure delivery of products, due to producers prioritizing sales to larger customers, which are able to leverage their stronger balance sheets to offer superior payment terms. 8. Smaller food producersā€”which typically sell via distributors, rather than directly to grocery chainsā€”start to go out of business. Because these producers have an additional step their value chains, and because they have lower volumes over which to spread their fixed costs, their cost structure is inherently disadvantaged compared to major food producers. When grocery stores arenā€™t able to raise prices, cutting product costs becomes all the more important, and deprioritizing purchases from smaller producers is an easy way to do so. 9. As supply chains break down, lines start to form outside grocery stores every morning. Cities assign police officers to patrol store parking lots, and food producers draft contingency plans to assign armed escorts to delivery trucks. 10. The federal government announces a program to issue block grants for states to purchase and operate shuttered grocery stores. The USDA also seizes closed-down production facilities. 11. The government announces that prices for all key food costsā€”corn, wheat, cattle, energy, etc.ā€”are also now fixed, to stop ā€œprofiteersā€ from gouging the now-government-operated food industry. 12. Shockingly, the government struggles to operate one of the most complex industries on the planet. The entire food supply chain starts imploding. 13. Communism, mass starvation, and the end of America quickly ensue. Hey wait a second

RT by @elonmusk: Last night, Alexandre de Moraes threatened our legal representative in Brazil with arrest if we do not comply with his censorship orders. He did so in a secret order, which we share here to expose his actions. Despite our numerous appeals to the Supreme Court not being heard, the Brazilian public not being informed about these orders and our Brazilian staff having no responsibility or control over whether content is blocked on our platform, Moraes has chosen to threaten our staff in Brazil rather than respect the law or due process. As a result, to protect the safety of our staff, we have made the decision to close our operation in Brazil, effective immediately. The X service remains available to the people of Brazil. We are deeply saddened that we have been forced to make this decision. The responsibility lies solely with Alexandre de Moraes. His actions are incompatible with democratic government. The people of Brazil have a choice to make - democracy, or Alexandre de Moraes. ā€” Noite passada, Alexandre de Moraes ameaƧou nosso representante legal no Brasil com prisĆ£o se nĆ£o cumprirmos suas ordens de censura.

RT by @elonmusk: DOUGLAS MURRAY: ELON HAS THE GUTS TO SAY THE TRUTH ON THE SITUATION IN THE UK ā€œJonathan Freedland of the Guardian [who called for Elon Musk to be arrested], is a very obscure figure. He is not at all known outside a small amount of the left-wing in the UK, but he has the audacity to claim that the British authority should arrest an American citizen. I mean, I don't know if Jonathan Freedman knows his history, I assume he does. He's a relatively intelligent man. But he should know that America fought quite a significant war in order that American citizens would not, in fact, be under the writ of British law. And thank goodness Elon Musk isn't. And thank goodness he has the guts to continue, like a number of the rest of us, to say, what is the truth. The reason you see so much of the media running against Elon Musk at the moment, is they recognize that his platform, Twitter, is beating all of them, or most of them, in all the stakes. And that's very scary for some of these old media who can't keep up, and don't have very many readers, like the Guardian. It's perfectly possible, that people like me, billionaires like Elon Musk, will be able to get through this era and will survive it. And I certainly plan to, and I'm sure and know that Musk does as well. But what about, as you say, the person who does not have the platform that I have or the means that Elon Musk has? What about them? As it's happening all the time at the moment in the UK, police forces that have not solved one burglary in recent years are knocking on people's doors and arresting them for Facebook posts, for retweeting things.ā€ Source: Interview with @DouglasKMurray on Sky News, August 15, 2024
