Twitter Boosts Elon Musk's Tweets 1000x After Urgent Request
Twitter has deployed code to artificially boost Elon Musk's tweets by a factor of 1,000 after the billionaire complained about the lack of engagement his posts were receiving. According to a report from Casey Newton at Platformer, after a tweet about the Super Bowl received less engagement than President Joe Biden's, Musk took to Slack to issue an urgent request for help from engineers. Late on Sunday, Musk addressed his team in person and warned them they would all lose their jobs if the engagement issue was not resolved. By Monday, Twitter had deployed code to "greenlight" all of Musk's tweets, and artificially boost them, allowing his posts to bypass Twitter's filters designed to show people the best content possible. This "power user multiplier" now applies only to Musk, and the code allows Musk's account to bypass Twitter heuristics that would otherwise prevent a single account from flooding the core ranked feed, now known as "For You." #elonmusk #twitter #tesla

SpaceX Starship Launch Date Revealed By NASA + Tesla Workers Union in Buffalo, NY
NASA has given a tentative launch date of March 11th for SpaceX's highly anticipated Starship orbital flight test, which has been eagerly anticipated by space enthusiasts for months. The announcement was made through the agency's WB-57 plane, which will be used to track the rocket's progress during the mission. SpaceX has been conducting full-scale tests throughout January and February of this year, and the most recent test saw the Super Heavy booster fire up all 33 engines, with 31 of them fully lighting up. This was a significant milestone for SpaceX, as it sets the stage for the upcoming orbital flight test.

Elon Musk's Tesla Vs. Ford Motor Co Battery Factory - spacex starship update
Ford Motor Co. and Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Ltd. (CATL) are set to build a multibillion-dollar battery plant in Michigan, according to sources familiar with the matter. The plant, located about 100 miles west of Detroit, is expected to create approximately 2,500 jobs. The project has been mired in geopolitical tensions between the US and China. Despite the uncertainty around the interpretation of requirements in President Joe Biden’s signature climate package, the Inflation Reduction Act, Ford is moving ahead with the project. The White House has reportedly requested that Tesla makes its extensive charging network available to other electric vehicles, according to two sources familiar with the situation. The request was made during a private meeting between two senior White House officials, tasked with implementing President Biden's clean energy packages, and Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, and other company officials at the company's D.C. office on Jan. 27.

Elon Musk poised to reclaim title of world’s richest person + SpaceX MASSIVE Test
Elon Musk is on the cusp of reclaiming his position as the world’s richest person after a surge in Tesla’s share price. The static fire test took place on Thursday, February 9, with the Booster 7 prototype standing tall on the launch mount at SpaceX’s Starbase facility in Boca Chica, Texas. As hoped, there were plenty of jaw-dropping visuals to go around and plenty to think about as SpaceX pushes forward with its ambitious Starship program. https://patreon.com/stagezero

SpaceX Ignites Super Heavy Rocket's 33 Engines for the First Time
SpaceX, the leading private aerospace company, is taking a big step towards space exploration with its Super Heavy rocket booster. The company's first stage of the starship rocket is fully reusable, which is aimed to power NASA's return to the Moon and help humans settle on Mars one day. With 33 main engines, this is the first time in history that so many engines have been used on a rocket. The closest comparison to this is the Soviet Union's N1 rocket, which had 30 liquid-fueled engines, but each of them was only about two-thirds as powerful as the Raptor 2 engines used on the Super Heavy rocket. The Super Heavy rocket is a crucial component of SpaceX's starship program, and its successful ignition of all 33 engines marks a significant milestone for the company. Gwynne Shotwell, President of SpaceX, spoke at a commercial space conference in Washington, DC and stated that Thursday (the day of the engine ignition test) was going to be a "big day" for the company. Despite the significance of the moment, Shotwell emphasized that the test was just the first step and the real goal was not to "blow up the launch pad". SpaceX's Starship program has been in development for several years, and after rapid-fire prototype tests in 2020 and 2021, the company has moved more cautiously with its testing at the Starbase facility in South Texas. The company has likely invested over $1 billion in building a massive launch-and-catch tower, as well as ground systems, to support the Super Heavy and Starship vehicles. With so many assets in one small area near the Gulf of Mexico, SpaceX is taking extra care not to risk destroying any infrastructure it has spent over a year building and testing. In the event of any destruction, the starship launch campaign would be set back for months, and regulatory concerns raised by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) would likely increase. Thus, the primary goal of the engine ignition test was to not blow up the launch pad, and after that, SpaceX would analyze the performance of the Raptor engines and replace any that show deviations from expected behavior. The engine ignition test took place at around 3:15 pm local time in South Texas, and lasted for a "full duration" of the Raptor engines. According to SpaceX founder Elon Musk, one engine was turned off just prior to ignition, and another stopped itself, but 31 of the 33 engines would have provided enough thrust to reach orbit. Despite this, the launch infrastructure in South Texas remained mostly unscathed. This successful engine ignition test could lead to SpaceX's first orbital launch attempt, which is expected to occur in the second half of March or early April. The thrust output of the Super Heavy's engines was likely nearly double that of NASA's Saturn 5 rocket or Space Launch System, which is a huge achievement for SpaceX. Reusable Rockets: The Future of Space Exploration SpaceX's Super Heavy rocket booster is designed to be fully reusable, which is a major shift in the traditional aerospace industry. In the past, most rockets were used only once and then discarded after their mission was complete. This was because it was deemed too expensive and time-consuming to recover and refurbish the rockets for reuse. However, SpaceX has taken a different approach and is working towards a future where reusable rockets are the norm. Reusable rockets have several benefits. For starters, they significantly reduce the cost of launching into space. This is because the same rocket can be used repeatedly, reducing the need to build and launch new rockets for each mission. In addition, reusable rockets reduce the amount of debris generated during launches, which is crucial in maintaining a clean environment

SpaceX prepares to fire all 33 Starship engines at once
Gwynne Shotwell, President of SpaceX, announced on Wednesday that the company is aiming to accomplish a significant milestone with its Starship project this week. The event scheduled for Thursday is known as a "static fire" and it involves testing all 33 engines of the starship's rocket booster simultaneously. In November, SpaceX carried out a test firing with 14 of these engines as part of its efforts to launch a starship prototype into orbit. #elonmusk #spacex

33-Engine Static Fire: SpaceX's Starship Booster 7 Set for Record-Breaking Moment
After a successful full stack wet dress rehearsal, SpaceX's starship Booster 7 is set to complete its 33-engine static fire on 6th Feb 2023. The rocket has already completed a complex fueling test and launch, and the stage is set for a record-breaking static fire. The results of the first fully-assembled wet dress rehearsal test indicate that caution has paid off, and there is a small chance that SpaceX simply got lucky. #SpaceX, #StarshipBooster7, #33EngineStaticFire, #SpaceExploration, #RocketLaunch, #RecordBreaking Learn more about your ad choices.
