More than a dozen flight tests and years of development, with countless hours worked by SpaceX engineers and technicians, all come down to this: the first orbital Starship launch carrying advanced Starlink satellites bound for space.
Watch “Go For Orbit” and experience the moments behind flying the most ambitious Starship mission yet

SpaceX has ordered 100 GW/year of HJT solar manufacturing equipment from Singulus in Germany.
This is for Starmind to create a sentient sun.

Grok
SpaceX VP of Launch @TurkeyBeaver says Grok is now helping them identify foreign object debris in aerospace parts, and that Grok (99.9%) is better at it than humans (94%).
"We’ve automated being able to detect FOD. We’ll have an inspector go in and borescope a tube, and we find that humans are about 94% perfect (at) finding a piece of it. Grok analyzing the same video is 99.9% perfect."

Project Crystal Sun
Tesla has officially started construction of its massive new $10 billion solar manufacturing facility near Houston, Texas!
Construction is expected to finish in 2028, with commercial operations starting in Q1 2029. Total direct and indirect economic impact of the project is estimated to generate ~$6.4B in state and local taxes, and increase State of Texas GDP by ~$107 billion.
The factory will be a vertically integrated solar manufacturing facility, and it'll include:
• Wafer Manufacturing
• Ingot Manufacturing
• Coating
• Metallization and Printing Lines
• Cell Testing and QC
• Automation and Material Handling
• Cleanroom and Production Support
• Site Infrastructure
• Chemical Storage and Delivery
• Utility Infrastructure
• Environmental and Safety Systems

The Cybertruck order rate far exceeds our production rate. We will try to make as many as possible before shutting down the line in about 8 months, but will have to return deposits for a lot of people.
This is not a case of Cybertruck being unprofitable, as has been misreported by legacy media, but rather that the opportunity cost of the complexity of Cybertruck is vastly outweighed by the value of incremental Cybercab production.

Excited to be working with @Qualcomm on breakthrough technologies for 5G & beyond
Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon on partnership with @SpaceX
“We're very excited. It's going to be one of the largest 5G deployments in the United States. It's a great step on U.S. technology leadership. SpaceX is going to be building their base stations. We provide the silicon for the radio. It's going to be an AI native architecture. It's going to bring a lot of innovation.”
