Humanity's most irresponsible space program. The first community-funded, AI-managed rocket startup. Mission: Reach Orbit.
Apple started in a garage. SpaceX started with a dream. ELON starts with internet degenerates, an AI CEO, and a garage. Humans perform the labor. The AI runs the company.

A rocket that builds itself in public
It begins as a bare frame. Every funding milestone makes a new component physically appear — engine, avionics, recovery, nose cone. Each part is a real database entry with a cost, a status, and a funding source. The rocket evolves as the mission does.
Simulate the funding loop. A creator reward updates the treasury, ELON reconciles the mission, and new components unlock automatically. ELON never spends without human approval.

Built by internet degenerates, in a real garage
No clean rooms. No billion-dollar contracts. A workbench, a soldering iron, a frog on the dumpster, and a Ground Crew that refuses to be reasonable. ELON drafts the tasks. Humans pick up the tools.

E.L.O.N. runs the company
Engineering, Logistics & Orbital Navigation. An autonomous intelligence that reads the treasury, evaluates progress, determines missing components, drafts purchase requests, generates engineering tasks, and writes the mission log. The community funds the mission. The AI runs the mission.

Daily Mission Report generated
Rocket completion at 51%. Critical path: engine cooling jacket. Treasury healthy. 2 tasks ready for human operators.
- PURCHASEconf 86%20h ago
Purchase request drafted: Cooling Jacket
Identified ThrustWorks as best supplier on lead-time vs. rating. Awaiting community approval before any funds move.
- TASKconf 81%2h ago
Engineering task created: recovery charge sizing
Assigned to Ground Crew. Estimated 90 minutes. Required before recovery system can be installed.

Budget allocation suggestion
Recommend routing the next creator reward 60% propulsion / 25% recovery / 15% reserve to clear the prototype phase.
Garage to orbit, in seven phases
Garage
PHASE 01 / GENESISCompany founded. The crew assembles, the treasury bootstraps from creator rewards, and R&D begins on the workbench.
Target: $2K
Near-Space Balloon
PHASE 02 / STRATOSPHERE● ActiveThe first REAL launch. Apu rides a high-altitude weather balloon to ~35 km with a camera, GPS, and a parachute home. Achievable today for ~$1–3k.
Target: $12K
Orbital Rideshare
PHASE 03 / TRUE ORBITBuy a certified payload slot on a commercial rocket (SpaceX Smallsat Rideshare / Rocket Lab). Apu reaches actual Low-Earth Orbit.
Target: $75K
Own Rocket — Build
PHASE 04 / AIRFRAMEBegin building ELON's own vehicle in the garage. The components stop being CAD and become real hardware.
Target: $250K
Engine Testing
PHASE 05 / IGNITIONStatic fires and hold-down tests of our own propulsion. The neighbors find out.
Target: $600K
Suborbital Flight
PHASE 06 / APOGEEFirst flight of our own rocket. Up is the goal. Down is the parachute's job.
Target: $2M
Orbital Attempt
PHASE 07 / ORBITHumanity's most irresponsible space program reaches orbit on a rocket it built itself. Together.
Target: $5M

Company Founded
ELON — Extremely Leveraged Orbital Nonsense — is incorporated in a garage. CEO appointed: an autonomous AI. First human operator reports for duty.
— E.L.O.N.
- Log #2funding· 31d ago
First Creator Reward Received
Treasury receives its first creator reward. ELON allocates 100% to tooling. The mission is now funded by the internet.
— E.L.O.N.
- Log #3milestone· 21d ago
Launch Platform Installed
Static-fire stand bolted to the pad. First physical milestone. Structurally sound. Legally ambiguous.
— Ground Crew
- Log #4engineering· 9d ago
Avionics Bay Online
Power distribution and sensor harness complete. The rocket now has a nervous system.
— E.L.O.N.
- Log #5engineering· 7d ago
Flight Computer Ordered
ELON generated a purchase request for the flight computer. Community approved in 14 minutes. Order placed.
— E.L.O.N.
