Elon Musk on SpaceX's future and Nvidia partnership
@elonmusk dominated the feed. On 2026-10-08 he wrote that he sees a path to SpaceX being worth orders of magnitude more than the current Earth economy (130.2K likes, 11.3M views). On 2026-10-15 he said the Star Mind computer, co-engineered by SpaceX and Nvidia, is far better than almost anyone expects and will reach volume production next year (30.8K likes, 1.7M views). He also posted two short replies: True, this is a very big deal, and Maybe more than 10GW.
Why it mattersA single account produced the highest-engagement post and three more of the top posts, all tied to SpaceX ambitions.
Viral alarm claims on climate, mosquitoes and magnetism
Several posts made dramatic assertions. @TeoAnon17 claims the UN has publicly announced that climate change never existed and that solar power was about vested interests (17.9K likes, 9.6K reposts). @NicHulscher says Google has requested an experimental use permit to release 64 MILLION bacteria-infected mosquitoes and urges the EPA to reject it (10.0K likes). @StefanBurnsGeo posted a BREAKING claim that Earth's magnetic field has begun ripping apart (2.2K likes, 310.5K views).
Why it mattersEmotionally charged, sourced-by-assertion posts drew large reposts and views, showing how fast contested claims spread.
SpaceX rocket imagery and an ISS resupply launch
Two posts showed SpaceX activity. @astronomytodayy shared a view of a SpaceX rocket explosion from FL410 (12.2K likes, 1.6M views). @AndrewGortonWx posted a photo, credited to Brent Levy, of a SpaceX launch over Tybee Island, which he says was a resupply mission for the International Space Station (3.3K likes, 70.6K views).
Why it mattersVisual launch content gave SpaceX discussion a second strand, apart from Musk's own posts.
Perseverance sets a new off-world distance record
@NASAMars says Perseverance set a new off-world record on Oct. 11, when the rover's odometer hit 28.10 miles (45.22 kilometers), eclipsing the distance record set by NASA's Opportunity rover. The post drew 10.2K likes, 1.5K reposts and 711.1K views, making it the most engaged post from an official space agency account in this set.
Why it mattersAn official NASA account announcing a milestone drew strong engagement with little controversy.
Science explainers: kinesins and the observer effect
Two explainer-style posts circulated. @Rainmaker1973 says tiny proteins called kinesins work inside the body 24/7 to keep people alive, and pairs the point with a message to be kind to yourself (4.4K likes, 153.0K views). @astrooalert says quantum physics holds that everything observed is affected by the observer watching it (3.4K likes, 68.9K views).
Why it mattersShort, shareable science facts continue to attract steady engagement alongside the bigger news-driven threads.
Engagement
Key takeaways
- @elonmusk's SpaceX valuation post reached 11.3M views, the largest audience among the top Science & Space posts.
- Unsourced viral claims from @TeoAnon17 and @NicHulscher drew thousands of reposts, so each remains one poster's assertion.
- @NASAMars reported Perseverance's odometer at 28.10 miles (45.22 kilometers), a record for off-world driving by its account.

This will sound super crazy, but I see a path to SpaceX being worth orders of magnitude more than the current Earth economy
The UN has publicly announced that climate change never existed!! Solar power generation was just about vested interests. All man-made!! That's the whole story!!! 🐸 https://t.co/Fnp6bhhbuf
Old friends are the best friends. Jensen rocks. The Star Mind computer being co-engineered by SpaceX and Nvidia is far better than almost anyone expects and will reach volume production next year. Working with the incredibly talented Nvidia engineering team is pure joy!
Google has requested an EXPERIMENTAL USE PERMIT to launch one of the LARGEST open-air biological experiments in U.S. HISTORY. The tech company wants to dump 64 MILLION bacteria-infected mosquitoes into the wild. The EPA must REJECT Google's mass experiment. https://t.co/2BwCZykmC6
