Great to be at India Mobile Congress today. Thank you to the Government of India and @DoT_India for the opportunity to share @Starlink’s vision for India. Starlink can help reach the places where the last mile is still the hardest mile - working alongside India’s operators, government and industry. As India works through the final approvals, our message is simple: We stand ready to serve India, as soon as India is ready! 🇮🇳🛰️

Grok Bot summary: IAC 2026 presentation by SpaceXAI President Michael Nicolls. 🎯 The main message - SpaceX was founded in 2002 to make life multi-planetary and "extend the light of consciousness to the stars." - He said the biggest risk as constellations grow is not debris. It's satellite operators not sharing data with each other. 🌍 How Starlink grew - Starlink began in 2019 with 60 V0.9 satellites. User service started in late 2020 as the "Better Than Nothing Beta." - V1.5 added space lasers, which let the satellites link into a mesh. That's when Starlink really took off, reaching oceans, Antarctica and airplanes. - V2 (2023) has 4x the capacity of V1. Falcon launches V2 satellites 2–3 times a week, and each launch adds about 3 terabits of capacity. - V3 launched on Starship about a week before the talk. Each V3 satellite has another 10x capacity, and each Starship launch carries 20–30x what a Falcon launch does. - Starlink now has over 11,000 satellites, about 60% of all active satellites in low Earth orbit. - It serves more than 13M customers in about 170 markets, plus ships and planes. - The laser mesh means Starlink doesn't depend on local ground infrastructure. During last year's fires and power outages in Spain, it kept tens of thousands of customers and emergency responders online. 🚀 The life of a Starlink satellite - **Before launch:** SpaceX checks that deploying the satellites won't bring them close to anything else, and shares where they'll be. - **Deploy:** satellites are released below 300 km, where almost no other operators fly. - **Orbit raising:** each climb path is checked against other satellites and crewed space stations, and SpaceX publishes the satellites' positions every hour on the way up. - **Lower orbits for safety:** the original plan was about 1,000 km. Now every satellite flies below 500 km, and V3 will fly at about 350–360 km. At these heights a dead satellite falls back to Earth within months instead of staying up for centuries. 🛡️ How they avoid collisions - Each satellite makes small station-keeping moves about once a day and a collision-avoidance move about every 10 days. - Across the fleet, that's about 1,000 avoidance moves a day. - Starlink's threshold for moving is nearly 100x more cautious than the industry standard, so the whole fleet's collision risk is about the same as a much smaller constellation's. - "Ducking" moves turn the satellite so it presents a smaller target during a close pass, cutting the collision risk about 10x more. - Automated software makes these decisions, which is why Starlink tries to stay in contact with every satellite at all times. 📡 Always connected - Starship's live launch video was streamed over Starlink. - The new V3 satellites connected to the network within 2 minutes of release, because Starlink terminals are built into the satellites. Their lasers link into the mesh within tens of minutes. - The goal is to make contact right away and never lose it. 🌬️ Space weather - During a 2024 solar storm, air density in orbit jumped 5x in a few hours, which throws off predictions of where satellites will be. - Starlink is "probably one of the best sensors" for this. It measures density in real time and automatically corrects its position forecasts. 🔭 Working with astronomers - **Optical:** SpaceX tried Vantablack paint and sun visors. What finally worked was a mirror-like film that reflects sunlight away from the ground, combined with careful steering. A V2 satellite now looks about as bright as a sheet of paper. This was done with groups like the Vera Rubin Observatory. - **Radio:** working with observatories like the US National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO), Starlink steers its beams and frequencies around where the telescopes are pointing. As a result, the telescopes can now observe more often. ♻️ End of life - SpaceX uses statistics to predict when parts will fail and deorbits satellites early. Many of those satellites would have kept working. - Retired satellites are steered down within weeks, not left to drift for the 5 or 25 years regulations allow. - They're built to burn up completely, and reentry is aimed over the ocean. - Of about 10,000 satellites launched by early 2026, only a few dead ones remain in orbit. The goal is zero. - "Reliability and rate go together." ⚠️ The biggest danger: other operators - Tracked debris is like obstacles on a road: if you can measure it, you can avoid it. - What you can't avoid is a satellite that maneuvers without telling anyone. Starlink has had passes as close as tens of meters this way. - Starlink has maneuvered around satellites from about 650 operators in recent months, but shares position data with only about half of them. "That number is too low." - SpaceX shares data with China's space station and some Chinese operators. Many operators don't share at all, including some in the US, Europe and Japan. ⭐ Stargaze: Starlink's own space tracking - Over 30,000 star trackers on Starlink satellites spot passing objects as streaks against the stars. - Stargaze now tracks over 17,000 objects, including about 90% of the maneuvering satellites that cross Starlink's orbits. - In one example, an untracked satellite's predicted 9 km miss shrank to about 60 m after it maneuvered toward Starlink. Stargaze caught the move and the Starlink satellite dodged in time. - He said it's still no substitute for operators sharing their plans in advance. 🤝 The ask: share your data - SpaceX runs its own space safety data platform, and over 100 operators have signed up. - Operators can upload their satellite positions and check them against Starlink and against Stargaze tracking. - His message to every operator was to join the platform and share their positions. 🧠 StarMind: AI compute in space - StarMind is SpaceX's planned AI satellite constellation, starting launches and scaling next year. - The goal is to move AI compute off Earth. He expects StarMind to drive demand for Starship launches the way Starlink did for Falcon. - On the ground, SpaceX is building over 2 GW of compute in Memphis. He said AI demand will be nearly limitless, and Earth's resources make that hard to keep scaling there. - In space, the satellites run on solar power and shed heat through large radiators. - Each satellite is simpler than a Starlink: basically a computer with big solar panels and radiators. - Each one has about 250 kW, roughly one NVL72 rack of compute. - They'd fly in tight clusters of about 10 satellites linked by about 10 terabits of bandwidth, then connect to Starlink. - SpaceX has filed for up to **1 million satellites**, in low-inclination and sun-synchronous orbits. Building them could mean thousands of satellites a week. - New challenges include much higher reliability and redundancy, flying in close formation, and micrometeoroids. Dead satellites might be sent away from Earth instead of burning up in the atmosphere. 🌙 Beyond Earth - Starlink is developing very high-bandwidth lasers to connect the Moon, then Mars, building an "interplanetary mesh." - All of that depends on getting safety right in low Earth orbit first. 💡 Key takeaways - Starlink is the world's biggest constellation, and it's moving lower to be safer. - It makes about 1,000 collision-avoidance moves a day, with nearly 100x more caution than the industry standard. - The biggest risk is operators who don't share where their satellites are going. - StarMind could scale to 1 million AI satellites, with launches starting next year. - "Coordination is a key element for realizing all of our ambitions."

Operating safely in space requires knowing where satellites and objects are – and where they will be in the future. This requires all operators sharing their satellites’ ephemeris data, along with predicted trajectories and planned maneuvers →

"The fact that this is a thing that was perceived by some node operators last year and then now I think it's become much more real ... it feels like that's very coercive," @tayvano_ on THORChain taking the holdings of the THORChain hacker.

Five and a half years ago, @crispheaney, @bigz_pubkey, @davijlu and I set out on a weird, winding, and wonderful journey to build a perpetual futures exchange. The crypto market structure was extremely immature then. Perps were just starting out, most DeFi users were paying $200 to execute a single transaction on Ethereum. We were one of the first to bring a fully on-chain perpetual DEX to market and launched for the first time on Solana in November 2021. Today, as the exchange relaunches and enters its next chapter, I'm stepping down from Drift, now @VelocityDEX. I'm extremely proud of what we built – one of the largest exchanges on Solana with over $150B traded. Chris and Z, our technical cofounders, led the technology front to build every piece of the exchange stack, while David and I put together an incredible and experienced growth and operational team. I poured my heart, soul, and many years of the most insane ups and downs into building and growing Drift – a gruelling, but immensely fulfilling journey. In many ways, it felt like my first child. This April, we faced a state-level attack by DPRK, after a long-planned six months of social engineering infiltration. Going through it and the aftermath was by far the worst week of my life. Within ten sleepless nights, we closed a deal with Tether that put users on a path to recovery. We hired @redacted_noah, ex-head of protocol engineering at Helium, to lead the rebuild of Velocity’s smart contract technology, a difficult task he took on enthusiastically and with zest. We brought on @namanmtl, who joins us from Binance and Trust Wallet to lead Growth and Recovery to grow our trader base for the relaunch. I am proud of my team who stepped up to take initiative above and beyond – especially @tracybbd who personally took the pains to speak to every single trader and market maker on the exchange. Over the next few months, the team refused to quit and hunkered down to rebuild the exchange with a full security upgrade. Designing DFX as well as coordinating on multi-nation asset recovery working alongside @zeroShadow_io and local law enforcement agencies to freeze assets was a huge feat. This week, Velocity finalized their audit by @osec_io and @asymmetric_re and fully open-sourced the exchange. After a long and arduous journey, with many security audits in tow and with massive effort from the team, the exchange relaunches today – even better and faster than before. I would like to shout out the incredible team that will be carrying on the Velocity product. @davijlu, along with Foundation, will continue to move on the asset recovery and law enforcement work. @redacted_noah will continue to build out Velocity’s technology, shipping new features like CLOB and Prop AMM that will make the product even better and smoother. @Defioppa, who previously led product at Binance, will continue to lead the product at Velocity. @tracybbd will lead partnerships and stakeholder relationships. @namanmtl will join us from his extensive background at Binance to lead growth. With a heavy heart, I fully own this decision to step down. I have always done my best work building from zero to one. Velocity is now at the stage where it needs operators who can take it from one to ten, and I trust this team to take it to the next level. It is the right decision for me and for the protocol, to open a new chapter for Velocity. I've been all in on crypto, my whole career since I was 19. Now I will be spending energy on exploring what’s next for me personally. I care about building bridges between Asia and the US, between digital and physical infrastructure, and about bringing what I've learned home to my local community in Southeast Asia. I will actively continue to champion Velocity, and the founders and teams I’m backing. To our users and partners: thank you so much for the trust. I know the Velocity team is genuinely giving the relaunch all they have. To our investors: thank you for all your guidance and support all these years. To our team: thank you for everything. I couldn't have imagined doing this with anyone else.

Higgsfield is the most untold story in tech. $1BN in ARR in 18 months. Faster than everyone other than OpenAI and Anthropic. They spend $4M a month on models. They expect this to be $100K per person per month. They have 150 people working in a content machine. They will breed more millionaires than any other company in Kazakh history. For the first time, @alexmashrabov on the journey to $1BN in ARR. (below) 1. The Power of the Immigrant Founder Coming from Uzbekistan, Alex was pushed into competitive programming at age eight as his single path to reach the United States. For international founders, placing top in global competitions serves as the ultimate social elevator, instilling the relentless work ethic required to build breakout companies. 2. My Biggest Lessons in the Journey to Finding Product-Market Fit @higgsfield burned over $10 million of its $16 million seed round chasing hype and narrative rather than product quality. With under $5 million left, the team pivoted to product-led growth, solving camera control for creative directors, which immediately triggered organic hypergrowth without paid ads. 3. The 150-Person Content Team Powering Higgsfield's Billion in ARR Nearly half of Higgsfield's workforce consists of 150 in-house creative professionals producing tutorials, ads, and cinematic projects. Generating 90 minutes of TV-quality AI video requires 100 hours of raw output, proving human taste and curation remain the primary drivers of distribution. 4. We Spend $4 Million per Month on Models Higgsfield spends $4 million monthly on internal model usage, averaging $10,000 per employee so teams can freely vibe code and test workflows. Uncapped inference compute acts as a force multiplier, allowing top talent to discover breakthroughs at maximum velocity. 5. Why Chasing Benchmarks Is Bullshit and the Corporate Misalignment Occurring Public benchmarks have devolved into corporate psyops where lab researchers overfit test data to secure bonuses before job-hopping. Text-to-video benchmarks ignore real production workflows requiring 3,000-word prompts, proving direct customer iteration beats artificial leaderboards. 6. Why Team Sizes Won't Be Impacted as Much as People Think While AI handles over 60% of basic support requests, complex B2B environments cannot eliminate human teams. High product velocity constantly shifts rules and context, requiring smart, coordinated operators across legal and customer success. 7. Americans Are Way More Promiscuous When It Comes to Leaving Companies Silicon Valley workers routinely jump jobs every two years, prioritizing short-term trends over deep commitment. This transactional market gives international hubs an advantage, where cultural loyalty and team stability build compounding technical moats. (links in comments)

If CNN stopped covering Trump, they’d be doing the country a favor. Almost everything they put out on him is a lie. They’re not commentators; they’re operators in an information war aimed at the American people, and they should have been shown the door at the White House a long time ago. They talk like they might walk away. They’re still covering him, we saw it at the UN. Even they know Trump is far too consequential to ignore.

Privileged to be a major investor in @boringcompany Series D and to have helped scale the team for 5 years. Vegas Loop proved what’s possible. With the $3B raise, TBC is expanding to many more cities in the US and abroad. This is a rare moment to join the team and help bring Loop to the next 100 cities. We are inviting a select group of exceptional engineers and operators to an all expenses paid, behind the scenes tour of the Vegas Loop on Sunday, Oct 18. Years of experience is not a filter. New grads and dropouts should apply. Apply by Oct 1
