I made the volume on the Model S http://t.co/wMCnT53M go to 11. Now I just need to work in a miniature Stonehenge...
"Great Voltaire quote, arguably better than Twain. Hearing news of his own death, Voltaire replied the reports were true, only premature."
That was a total non sequitur btw
Am reading a great biography of Ben Franklin by Isaacson. Highly recommended.
"Read ""Lying"", the new book by my friend Sam Harris. Excellent cover art and lots of good reasons not to lie!"
Sam Harris also wrote a nice piece on the awesomeness of Hitchens: http://t.co/fPkLiK3v May the good man RIP.
Why does the crowd cry over the glorious leader Kim Il Sung's death? Fear of being shot may play a role: http://t.co/hoQrYtG1
His singing and acting talent will be sorely missed: http://t.co/IIFKob75\nSouth Park sequel coming soon...
"Got called randomly by Kanye West today and received a download of his thoughts, ranging from shoes to Moses. He was polite, but opaque."
"Yeah, this really is me, as my Mom @mayemusk will attest.\nNot sure I can handle just doing 140 char missives. Will put longer thoughts on G+"
Yum! Even better than deep fried butter: http://t.co/Ody21NuD

Kanye stopped by the SpaceX rocket factory today. http://t.co/6z7gHBn6
We had a long and interesting conversation on many subjects. He has exciting ideas for extending his creative talents beyond music.
The Russians are having some challenges with their rockets. Too many of the engineers that designed them have retired: http://t.co/rEs7spSU
Single character Tweets are the ulitmate extension of the Twitmeme...
Just returned from a trip to Haiti. Covered a lot of ground and saw many tough situations. They need a lot of help.
"Met with UNICEF, Doctors Without Borders and Artists for Peace & Justice. I support them and would recommend others do too."
"It was Xmas, so we brought presents for the kids at the orphanage. They don't usually get much. http://t.co/r8qfluIG"

"@om Cool personal essay. It really resonated with me, as I felt the same way after coming very close to dying from malaria ten years ago."
Interesting Economist article about how humanity's collective actions have created a fundamentally new geological age -- the Anthropocene.
"Am not saying that is *necessarily* good or bad, but reality will force us to live with the consequences of our actions http://t.co/fnXmhUok"
"Am reading Robert Massie's book on Catherine the Great. Yeah, I know what you're probably thinking ... did she really f* a horse?"
"Sew one button, doesn't make u a tailor; cook one meal, doesn't make u a chef; but f* one horse and u r a horsef*er for all of history..."
I'm just saying that u shouldn't pass judgment based on one night of passion. Sometimes things just happen and u go with the moment :)
"Right mood, scented candles, Barry White singing ""Can\'t Get Enough of Your Love, Baby"" and the magic (by that I mean horsef*ing) happens ..."
"To be clear, CtG absolutely did *not* bang her horse. They were just close friends who liked to take showers together and spoon at night."
China unveils ambitious space strategy http://t.co/udHmuft2
"SpaceX has Boeing, Lockheed, Europe (Ariane) and Russia (Proton/Soyuz) near checkmate in rocket technology. End game is all about China."
"Not that this really matters. All current rocket tech, including ours, sucks. Only when it becomes fully reusable, will it not suck."
Hacked my Tesla charge connector on a small island in the rain last night #whatcouldpossiblygowrong
Here's a happy thought for 2012: world violence is at an all time historical low. Excellent piece by Stephen Pinker http://t.co/gv4MLfQe
World violence being super low is probably counter-intuitive to most people. That's because modern media is a misery microscope.
"My first prediction of 2012 has come true: ouch, my head hurts."
"@FareedZakaria Yeah, 2012 will be great for the American economy & jobs, as we've mostly dealt with the overbuilt housing crisis."
"@FareedZakaria However, China's real estate crisis will explode in a way that makes ours look puny. They can't hide it for much longer."
"We built powerful information weapons to fight enemies of liberty. Now those enemies are largely defeated, but the weapons remain."
"If we are not careful, we will find that knife against liberty's neck. Fate has a great sense of irony. http://t.co/OQ2u1zHQ"
I said *information* weapons for a reason. The bit is mightier than the bomb.
"On a lighter note, the RHCP are f* awesome. No better way to bring in the New Year... http://t.co/TlkAdzsk"
"What everyone really thinks ... RT \xe2\x80\x9c@jonlovett: If Mayans were good at predicting the future, there'd be Mayans.\xe2\x80\x9d"
"@om Respectfully disagree. Larry made awesome moves last year, which laid the foundation for G+ to kick butt in 2012. He's a stud."
Just finished Massie's book on Catherine. An amazingly expansive and compelling portrait of an incredible woman. Highly recommend.
Feb is huge month. Model X world premier and public reveal of our LA design studio on the 9th. Stay tuned for more details.

"Somebody needs to tell Kim Jong-un that the showbiz phrase ""break a leg"" doesn\'t mean what he thinks it does"
"TSLA down ~$500M Friday, but back up ~$500M today. Sorry for the roller coaster."
Will communicate better in the future. Too many people want us to fail and are willing to twist any bit of news against Tesla.
That's not just paranoia (a healthy trait at times). Tesla really is under massive attack by short sellers http://t.co/PUxAOOm2
"That said, even though they cause me grief, I would defend the right of shorts to exist. They are often unreasonably maligned."

Launch aborted by autosequence due to slower than expected thrust ramp. Seems ok on closer inspection. Cycling countdown.

@WilliamShatner Will do. Probably at least a few days. Depends on whether we need to pull the turbopumps.
