Supercharger policy explained well by @LATimes:
Will post detailed description soon. I think it's a good balance.

Sorry to hear that. Will take care of this & investigate to see if issues you encountered are systemic.

Sounds similar to the single-use shock absorbers used in the Apollo LM legs flickr.com/photos/jurvets… & may have => one giant leap
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · May 28, 2016
Very similar. The crush core in the Falcon legs is reusable after soft landings, but needs to be replaced after hard.

Rocket landing speed was close to design max & used up contingency crush core, hence back & forth motion. Prob ok, but some risk of tipping.
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · May 27, 2016
Crush core is aluminum honeycomb for energy absorption in the telescoping actuator. Easy to replace (if Falcon makes it back to port).

Weather 90% go for 5:40pm ET launch today. Droneship landing challenging -- very hot and fast first-stage reentry
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · May 26, 2016
There was a tiny glitch in the motion of an upper stage engine actuator. Probably not a flight risk, but still worth investigating.

@elonmusk Lots of misinformation flying around lately, is the JCSAT-14 core (F9-024) still able to re-fly or did it take too much damage?
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · May 22, 2016
Flight 24 is def capable of flying again, but it makes sense to apply ground delta qual to rocket w toughest entry conditions.

No prob. We care about doing what's fair & just. Don't always get it right, but intent is always there & we make amends when wrong

Per the letter, Tesla paid $55/hr for *additional* services, so no.

Yes, but it is false of Merc News to say that Tesla took advantage of low cost labor. We paid $55/hr. That is unequivocal.

Merc News story about Tesla using $5/hr labor seems to be missing a digit. Tesla actually paid $55/hr.
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · May 18, 2016
We still need to make sure that the injured person is taken care of, but less & less of the Merc story appears to be true
