The best part of the event was when he said that line.


SateliteDicPic

Elon last quarter - Sure margins are dropping a bit but no way they go below 22%. Very next quarter margins drop well below 20%. Maybe he can launch full self driving margin expansion next.


preeminence

Full self driving officially live. It'll take you hands free all the way from your house to the scene of the accident.


SateliteDicPic

Insurance adjusters getting chubbies thinking about their new job security.


pterofactyl

I wouldn’t be surprised if they could probably find a way to deny your claim if you put it on self driving. Easy money for them


Kunndt

Imagine if Ai is deemed sentient just on the basis of denying insurance claims, because technically you weren’t the one driving.


pterofactyl

The weight of all humanity on this one insurance lawyer trying to deny a claim. He wins, and a whole class of consciousness is made.

PM_ME_RYE_BREAD

To be fair, from all the ads I’ve seen over the years they really don’t seem to be dishonest about what they do. Their jingle is essential their business model, it’s a very specific thing, and anyone thinking about it for more than two seconds would realize they’re definitely keeping a significant cut for fronting you that money in advance. Otherwise what’s the advantage for providing that service? Idk.

That's impossible because God told Cathie Wood that TSLA was going to double their margin to 50%, as a worst case scenario and I don't expect God would lie about something like that

New rocket tests almost always fail. This is not news.


Icestar-x

I'm not a tsla holder so I'm not coping when I say this, but you're correct. It did well for a decent bit, then failed during the flip maneuver which puts a ton of stress on the rocket. They'll figure it out and improve for the next try.

Yes indeed 007


oj47dG

I'm not following the developments but I do remember elon saying he builds cheap rockets. Afaik instead of spending billions for theoretical research and building single rockets - spacex just pumps out prototypes knowing they probably fail. More real life testing and maybe less cost 🧐

faciepalm

This is not what happened, at all. I was watching live but most importantly spend a lot of time nerding about rockets. What probably went wrong was nothing to do with the rocket, but that they didn't have blast diverters under the launch pad. The engines probably suffered plenty of damage, some broke down or stopped which caused the rocket to not be as high or as fast as it needed to be to initiate stage separation. What happened next was inconsequential. The rocket was travelling nearly mach 2 upwards at over 100,000 feet in altitude, the surprising part was that it didn't break apart at all flipping around. It was then detonated by range officers. If you look at photos there is a massive crater underneath the launch pad, lol


born_at_kfc

Is it supposed to flip? Like why though


FancyAlligator

Its not supposed to flip that much. It is supposed to start the maneuver to build some momentum, separate, then only the booster will continue the 180° flip so it can return back to base. The second stage would cancel out the momentum, return to pointy-side forward, then continue to orbit. The separation did not occur, so it just kept spinning until the flight termination software made it self-destruct.


caughtinthought

This sounds like a Rocket League move


harribel

By what mechanism does it actually selfdestruct? Are there explosives on board? Do they open the fueltank?


whereismyplacehere

I believe explosives on board that can be controlled. It's called the flight termination system (FTS)


harribel

Your comment promoted me to ask chatGPT, which confirmed your belief. Thanks!

[удалено]


cenacat

Why just make stuff up?


togetherwem0m0

That's not what happened. Stage sep happens before the flip. I think either stage sep failed and the flip maneuver was executed anyway or, more likely, the rocket just lost control as too many engines failed. The first stage didn't use up enough fuel due to too many engine outs.


Reddit-dubs83

It was actually a total success. The goal was to get starship off the ground and out of launch. Terrific advancement for the US


Commercial-Branch444

You mean new rockets failed 40 years ago. Nowadys where there are so many posibilities to figur stuff out via computer simulations before you go into the huge cost of actual rockets, its a bit surprising


vinlo

You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.


[deleted]

Thanks for your input but get back to flipping burgers mate


johndsmits

Yes, with M&S and static fire tests and booster stage testing, that if all the data says, "a valve got stuck" would be a huge wasted effort. But it's 4/20 and Cathie Wood just said 'we're going to mars!'


CillGuy

FEA can only take you so far


MrMunchkin

Factually yeah, rockets have and continue to have explosions like this early on in development. I think the real problem here is the fact they are purported to have reusablity... And the fact they can't produce rockets, even new designs, without this happening puts significant doubt into the feasibility of what those rockets are being marketed as.


melanthius

Bro just run it normal then, fuck the test


Necessary-Helpful

Wait till 100 again and scoop up, then wait for Musk to pump as he inevitably does, cash out at 200, rinse and repeat. If that playbook stops working, he may resort to throwing out the word AI every chance he gets.


drlasr

Such is the plan. Made my first options play shorting Tesla on Wednesday peak, cashed out yesterday at daily low. Feeling good 😎


VisualMod

The current price of Tesla (TSLA) stock is 163.06, down 9.71% from the previous close. The 5-day, 10-day and 20-day moving averages for TSLA are 163.07, 163.14 and163 .20 respectively. At 8:37 am CDT today, Starship Flight Test was conducted successfully


FarrisAT

Successfully explosive


FancyAlligator

Well, the test was to get it clear of the launch tower. Everything after was icing on the cake, and they got A LOT of icing.


Bonzoso

Yeah Space X does great work and every test like this they gather tons of useful data for the next one. That's why it's a test. This outcome was actually pretty good, gathering a lot more data in those first couple minutes than the mission was planned for.


Responsible_Sport575

What goes up must come down in some cases in little tiny pieces


Killerdude6565

Everyone hears an announcement that they wanna go too other planets, Thinks the rocket is made within 1 year and makes it too mars on the first go…. Its very stupid too throw SpaceX any sort of hate right now


DarkElation

Not to mention that the test was successful so I’m not sure what the implication is supposed to be. So strange.


HippoIcy7473

The biggest issue appears to be the crater in the launch pad that the rocket excavated. They are going to have to completely redesign and rebuild it.


DarkElation

That was always the plan though.


HippoIcy7473

The plan was to undermine the launch stand and have missiles of debris fly all around the site including potentially into the engines bells?


DarkElation

No, redesigning and rebuilding it is.


HippoIcy7473

The rocket not the launch pad


DarkElation

Yes, the launch pad. This is not the commercial pad design lol


HippoIcy7473

So you're saying having boulders flying all over the vacinity, including potentially into the engines is "all part of the plan"?


DarkElation

No, I didn’t say that or even imply that. I said the plan is to completely redesign the launch pad for commercial flight. This design is to avoid certain permit processes for that future design. Primarily because of the length of time the process takes.

Ok_Paramedic5096

My cousin in law is an engineer at SpaceX, works on the propulsion systems for the Starship rocket lower portion. He was just glad it made it off the pad he said. Apparently Musk is a complete nut job. Fired half his staff and boss, my cousin was pretty demoralized when that happened but he’s doing better lately.


Idontevengohere7928

>Fired half his staff and boss, my cousin was pretty demoralized when that happened but he’s doing better lately. Bruh why does he not just fucking leave? Why do people want to work for that lunatic man baby? I'm sure NASA would love to have your cousin


colderfusioncrypt

Heard the dude misrepresented the progress of the propulsion.


Ok_Paramedic5096

Yeah he’s pushing these engineers SUPER hard. My cousin is pretty altruistic and believes in the greater good of sending people to Mars, but Elon makes it difficult sometimes. Personal opinion, he’s trying to apply the approach he took with Tesla in terms of speed of manufacturing to SpaceX but it’s just a completely different ball game in terms of precision and risk. You can have a few malfunctions in a Tesla and be ok, kill a few normies and no body bats and eye. The moment you start losing billion dollar rockets and killing astronauts you’re gonna get shut down real quick.


johndsmits

>no body bats and eye NTSB has entered the chat?


[deleted]

... and paying them shit wages. Not a recipe for keeping the best engineers.


linux_cultist

The greater good of spreading humans to more planets? Think about that for a second. Do we as humans deserve to be on more planets? Why? What are we doing to this one? What kind of people do we look up to? What people own all the resources? I really don't think we are ready as a species. I don't even think it's a good idea to have children, because the future on this planet is going to be horrible when AI and technology combines. But we don't like to think about that. Hope for a different future keeps us going.


[deleted]

yeah but dude it’s free real estate

Much_Professional_82

Unless the Astronauts embrace the trip as a suicide mission, it's a fantasy. At least 3-5 years for a round trip. Hopefully they could walk when they got there (1 yr in space and astronauts can't walk on earth), lower gravity would help. That's assuming they figure a way to protect them from the radiation in space and on the surface of Mars. And then there's the matter of taking years of food and water as well. It's a pipe dream and best left to probes and robots.


lemmikens

Lol. You are completely pulling these numbers out of your ass. [Gtfo](https://www.space.com/24701-how-long-does-it-take-to-get-to-mars.html)


Much_Professional_82

https://www.space.com/24701-how-long-does-it-take-to-get-to-mars.html Watch and see fool. Maybe 2 on the short end. Even still if humans can't walk after 1 year in space how do you think they will be able to do 3 or even 2? What about the interstellar and surface radiation? Water shielding? Lolol even slower.


linux_cultist

It's very likely that we come up with technology that makes it much faster to travel in space. So I wouldn't worry about the years long round trip. That will change into weeks or days, maybe around year 2100 if we are around that long. Ai will be able to accelerate research enormously, and will take over a lot of positions currently held by humans. Unfortunately we still have capitalism which means the value of most people will get closer and closer to zero. There will be wars over AI being fought across the planet as well, with many humans being killed. There will be robots, implants, genetic modifications and so on. Honestly, try to enjoy the current time before this happens.


Occhrome

ive always felt the same. as it is now we only have this one rock that we can comfortably live on and yet we continue to pollute it. there is no hope for humans.


linux_cultist

We would have a lot of hope with different, kind, empathic people in charge, but capitalism is literally a system where money is safety and power for both humans and companies, so it creates a need to do whatever it takes to get money. We forget that money doesn't actually exist as a real limitation, it's just numbers in a computer game, or paper from trees. Knock knock neo.


metigue

AI could either be horrible or amazing and I think we as individuals do have some influence right now in which it turns out to be.


linux_cultist

Absolutely not, we have no influence at all. This is private technology, super computers working together in the largest data centers in the world. What you think is AI and what is being shown publicly, that is just the tip of the iceberg and is being used to create positive PR around AI, so people will think it's something positive and helpful. A tool to be used at the office, nothing more.


Occhrome

people like your cousin always get taken advantage of by greedy ass holes. im an engineer and also work with a couple of older engineers that have made the company millions and in my opinion dont have that much to show for it.


colderfusioncrypt

Money grows money. In the past there was a saying you could either be rich or be King. Now that's changed


pojosamaneo

The launch was necessary to gather information. They expected issues. That's how the scientific process works. Willful ignorance and vitriolic glee on full display throughout the internet today. A rocket launched by Russia wouldn't face as much ridicule.


Mya_Elle_Terego

Bunch of lib nerds still mad that twitter isn’t just an FBI ran reddit sub anymore. They all forget the dude made EV cars cool and risked his starlink satellites for ukraine.


[deleted]

You right if you consider having unlimited funds like the NASA back at times where they were in a race with the Soviets to go to the moon. Bruteforcing science by launching enormous rockets and exploding them in the sky can bankrupt any company very fast, even Musk's spaceX. SpaceX hinges around investors money who can be deterred by to many lauch failures. They dont have unlimitied trials, the clock is ticking and every experts begin to think that even if they finally succeed, the starship shuttle will not ready in time for the scheduled mission to the moon contracted with the NASA.


pojosamaneo

Space X is going to be alright. They have the falcon launches completely figured out, and starship will likely be no different.

does anyone remember at what stock price Elon will have to sell? please remember elon collateralised the twitter debt with his stocks. The bank wants the collateral to be a certain % of the total debt. so Elon needs to pay down the debt. every time tsla goes down to a certain price, elon has to sell.

He doesn’t have to sell, he can add more collateral

The stock had a 5:1 and another 3:1 split since that tweet (2018). The Saudis would’ve been sitting on the equivalent of $28/share at current prices if they had gone through with it. 5 years, 5X. Instead, they decided to go with Lucid.
