Congrats to the @SpaceX team on our 400th Falcon launch!!!

While we will not make our original goal of 144 launches, we are still targeting 30 more launches in 2024 (~one every two days). It will not be easy and our work is cut out for us, but the team is all in. The only way we will achieve this goal is if we focus on safety and reliability. Above all else, we must keep the team safe and deliver 100% mission success!

Wait?? The original goal was 148!

The original goal was actually 144, but then we only launched 96 times in 2023 so we added four back to make up the debt. Next year we will set a target agnostic of where we end in 2024. It will be higher than 2024 😜

That would be 29 more launches in 2024, Starlink 6-77 launched since these comments from Dontchev.
