Shocking that women have a more negative view on nuclear relative to men. Nuclear is one of the safest forms of energy (measured by accidents and deaths) and the lowest greenhouse gas emitter. Nuclear will enable us to continue to scale a clean future for our children. We need…
🚨 Just released: @RadiantEnergyG 's latest polling on U.S. public attitudes toward clean energy surveyed over 20,000 people across 23 states. The most striking divide in nuclear energy opinion? Gender. In our data, the gap between men and women’s views on nuclear power is…
Love to see big tech developing and expanding nuclear! We’ll need way more of this in the future.
Google said Monday that it will purchase power from small modular reactor developer Kairos Power, as tech companies increasingly turn to nuclear power as a way to fulfill the growing energy demands from data centers. Read more about the deal: cnb.cx/3Y9gtF4
I'm excited by the White House's new Nuclear Energy Executive Orders, which signals the ambitious plan of aiming to 4x nuclear power in the US from 100 GW today to 400 GW by 2050! I'm especially encouraged that the DOE is directed to support uprating existing reactors by 5 GW…
Happy Earth Day! Thankful to get to enjoy nature everyday, to have traveled to see many gorgeous places on this planet, and to have worked on satellites orbiting the planet connecting us all. I aspire to work to improve conditions on the Earth for our children!…
Help us achieve our goal of building a NICU in Burundi with @VHW, every $ counts! We're already over half way there and starting the NICU with what we have so far. This NICU will help ensure every newborn has a fighting chance and avoid the devastating statistic that currently…
Newborns in Burundi can’t wait. We’re launching the NICU at 50% funding—because even partial care saves lives. To fully equip & staff the unit, we still need $250K. Let’s finish this together. 🍼 Donate: bit.ly/3Q7fMIT #NICU #SaveNewbornLives #Burundi
"A woman is a person who's much smarter than a man" - Yes, now is the time to listen to women!
🚨BREAKING: President Trump just HIT A HOME RUN when a reporter asked him to define what a woman is: "A woman is somebody that can have a baby... A woman is a person who's much smarter than a man."
Thrilled @VHW will start a scaled NICU with the 50% raised so far. We're still raising the additional $250k to finish and run the NICU to help save newborn lives. I'm still matching donations as well! Donate here: bit.ly/3Q7fMIT #SaveNewbornLives #KigutuNICU…
We’ve raised 50% of our NICU goal—so we’re getting started. Because newborns in Burundi can’t wait 💚 We’re launching a scaled version with the funds we have. Still need $250K to hire specialists & equip fully. Donate: bit.ly/3Q7fMIT #KigutuNICU #SaveNewbornLives
Happy International Women’s day to my Canadian mother, sisters, and diverse network of amazing international friends and colleagues from all over the world! We must continue to work towards a kinder, safer, and more accepting world for our daughters (and sons)! 👩✈️👩🚀👷♀️👩…
Every newborn deserves a fighting chance! I've been amazed by the support by friends and family to support @VHW to help us get to the nearly 50% mark. I'm still matching any donations, just send me your receipt! I've found Donor Advised Funds (both cash and stock) an efficient…
Thanks to @sara_spangelo's matching donation of over $30,000, we're so close to reaching 50% of our goal for the Kigutu NICU campaign! Your support is crucial in providing life-saving care to newborns in Burundi. Donate today and help us reach our goal bit.ly/3Q7fMIT
Thrilled we are nearly 50% of the way to our $500k goal to open a NICU in Burundi at @villagehealth with the recent generous $75K donation by the Gould Family Foundation. Every newborn deserves a fighting chance! I've been amazed by the support by friends and family. I'm still…
Thank you, Gould Family Foundation, for partnering with us to make this vision a reality! 🇧🇮✨ Donate here: bit.ly/3Q7fMIT #SaveNewbornLives #KigutuNICU

After 3 years at SpaceX, and 5 years at Swarm, I’m on to my next adventure! I’m proud of what the teams achieved both with Starlink’s Direct to Cell program and Swarm, bringing ubiquitous connectivity to the world, and know the teams will continue to have a tremendous global…
Direct to Cell via @Starlink for anyone in the US! Let’s Go!
A new era in connectivity starts now @TMobile @Starlink
I'm proud to be working with Village Health Works Hospital in Burundi to help build a critically-needed NICU. My new baby is now home and healthy and happy, but life started with a short visit to the NICU, and I know firsthand the importance of high-quality medical care in early…
🚨 Burundi has one of the highest newborn mortality rates. At Kigutu Hospital, too many babies don’t survive without a NICU. Thanks to Sara Spangelo’s initiative, we’re changing that. Help us raise $500K to open a NICU—20% funded & counting! 💚 Donate: bit.ly/3Q7fMIT
Incredible milestone for the @Starlink Direct to Cell program! Excited to turn on service in the US and other partner countries soon, providing peace of mind and emergency services wherever people may work, play, or travel.
The first Starlink satellite direct to cell phone constellation is now complete. This will enable unmodified cellphones to have Internet connectivity in remote areas. Bandwidth per beam is only ~10Mb, but future constellations will be much more capable.
The @FCC approving the @Starlink and @TMobile Direct to Cell service in the US is a huge and critical step towards enabling ubiquitous high quality text, data, emergency, and eventually voice connectivity in the US and internationally. Congrats to the teams working on this for…
The FCC just granted the @Starlink US commercial license for our Direct to Cell program. Thank you @FCC ! docs.fcc.gov/public/attachm…
Only 5 more launches left for @Starlink Direct to Cell in order to complete the first commercial constellation. We will continue to launch and improve the service after that in order to improve the coverage and latency for our partner telcos around the world.
Watch Falcon 9 launch 20 @Starlink satellites to orbit from California, including 13 with Direct to Cell capabilities
